If we're talking about evolutionary theory, I'd guess that a man could cheat on a wife but still stick around to help raise his child. But if a woman cheats (and it leads to pregnancy) then the man may refuse to raise another man's child, and he decides to leave. (Lions are a little harsher, and a new dominant male will actually kill cubs from the previous den leader!)
