Emotionally and physically abandoning your spouse is dishonest and wrong. What does it say about the wife?

I think both people are scum bags, but only the cheater will get vilified.

This appears to be personal to you, and if so, I am sorry. No one should get married if they are not willing to make it work and yes that applies to both spouses. However, I don't think cheating is right ever. Does it work the same in your eyes if the wife cheats because she feels abandoned or that her needs are not being met?

I have no personal stake.
I am happily married. No cheating in 10+ years, even when times were low.

I just think it's a bit of a double standard to say one person sucks and the other doesn't. Wife or husband. This thread is about men, so I used the hubby-wife dynamic.

One spouse is neglectful for years and the other cheats for 2 months. Who's the bad guy? The 2 month cheater. That's screwed up.

Well, honesty has nothing to do with it either. It's a lack of self control that is a very real challenge for most men.

You know, the whole "lack of self control being a challenge for men" meme has been debunked in the 21st Century. It is by now understood by most that neither gender has any moral high ground over the other with respect to "cheating". Given opportunity and/or motive, men AND women cheat in roughly equal proportion in their marriages and relationships.

You give us way too much credit for taste and discernment. The sassy co-worker somewhat worse for wear has put many a marriage on its ear.

And ten years from now a new study will claim "oh, wait, men ARE more prone to cheat".

Yeah, I'm not buying it.
