Have you ever heard a woman say that she absolutely detests it when her man lends a hand in household chores? It's highly unlikely.

A French study indicates that those men who don't contribute in household work are more likely to be cheated upon over those who do. The said study was reportedly orchestrated by Gleedon-'A site for married and unfaithful people'-and includes the responses of nearly 10,000 female subscribers.

The main aim of the study was to gauge why women tend to cheat upon their male partners and what factors are the most frustrating for them in a relationship.

The results hardly come as a surprise considering the gendered societal norms that expect women to take charge of the household chores besides also juggling their professional lives. Men on the other hand, are barely ever held responsible for these tasks--thus burdening women even further.

According to the United Kingdom's National Office for Statistics, women spend an average of 7.28 hours per week on cooking as compared to the 3.65 hours by men. Whereas when it comes to childcare, women invest 4.65 hours as compared to men who spend 1.89 hours on a weekly basis.

We must also mention that the study was not a means to justify infidelity, but to simply assess the major patterns associated with it.
