Can only say based on experience being cheated and also a cheater at some point of life. Men can only cheat when he has options, while women can cheat anytime with little repercussions. But that not necessary mean the cheater are not committing to other scopes of relationship, especially in marriages like providing to their kids etc.

Also, men tend to chase after physical connection which is easily severed but women tend to gravitate emotionally which is much harder to remove. Hence, there are reasons men tend to come back to their partners and carrying duties as normal, but women will show obvious signs of disconnecting physically and emotionally to their current partners. Its just simple biology why both genders react differently.

Affairs generally don't last long (like years) as chances to be exposed goes up over time but for those that really did, likely has both sides really have senseless partners that simply do not bother on their changes; and when people had committed emotionally to the affair. Those kind of committed affairs usually destroy marriages and have worse after effects on children.
