Interventions: From February to December 2015, in-depth interviews were applied, and with this data the quantitative instrument was developed and validated by judges and experts. Main outcome measures: Infidelity at home, and infidelity at work. Results: Two categories were identified: infidelity at home, and infidelity at work. The symptomatology determining the causes for women being unfaithful on each context was obtained. 43% of women had a male friend to share life with, 20% were sexually dissatisfied, 71% reported that their sexual relations were boring, and 29% were unfaithful in order to maintain their social economical condition.
