‘We cheated on our partners because they don’t earn enough money – it’s fair enough’

The number of women cheating on their partners is rising – and it's all because blokes earn less money than them.

According to a new study, 79% of women say they’re not willing to date a partner who doesn’t match or exceed their own salary

A survey conducted by IllicitEncounters.com, the UK’s largest extramarital dating site, revealed women are willing to stray from partners who just can't keep up financially.

Gone are the days when women were content with being arm candy for a high-rolling suitor, as they're refusing to settle for anything less than what they bring to the table.

Nowadays, women have their sights set on partners who can match their ambition, drive and, according to a new poll, their bank accounts.

A recent survey of 2,000 women exposed a whopping 79% of ladies expressed their unwillingness to date a partner who earns less than they do.

    Olivia, another user of the website, added: "The relationship with my husband has become so tense since I started earning more than him.

    "All of a sudden he feels inadequate, and it gets his back up that I’m now the one able to splash the cash.

    "Our arguments have gotten so petty that I’ve had enough now, so I’ve turned to IllicitEncounters to find someone who praises my success instead of being jealous of it."

    Sex and relationships expert for Illicit Encounter, Jessica Leoni, said money can really "stir up a mixed bag of emotions" for modern women.

    She also said it's a real shame men have a hard time accepting relationships where women earn more than them.

    "Times have changed," she said.

    "Women are more successful than ever in the workplace, and they don’t want to have to provide for someone earning below their pay grade.

    "Could it be time we started adding salaries to dating profiles?"
