CONTRARY to general belief, women who have affairs hardly get caught, reported China Press.

The daily reported that a new survey in Britain showed that only 15% of females who had affairs were caught by their partners.

"However, one in five men who had an affair would be discovered," it reported.

According to the survey, one out of every 10 men who had an affair would cheat on their partner again.

"The reason most women are involved in an affair is because of problems with their partners while men cheat simply because they are attracted to the third party," it said.

The daily quoted marriage counsellor Chen Han Xi as saying that 90% of marriages would end in divorce once the wife was caught having an affair.

"However, if the husband cheats on his wife, half of these relationships can be salvaged because most men only look for physical satisfaction without being emotionally involved," he said.
