Researchers from Tilburg University in the Netherlands collected data on German adults over 12 years and asked them about their wellbeing as well as their relationships.
From a large cohort they focused on 609 people who had been involved in an affair and 338 who had been the victim of one.
Analysis revealed on the whole, women who cheated reported an increase in self-esteem and life satisfaction after the affair.
Meanwhile the opposite appeared to be true for men, who suffered more after committing adultery
Affairs boost self-esteem and life satisfaction if you're a woman
That's no surprise given that women these days pat themselves on the back for literally anything and everything so why not cheating too?
