With that being said, some men are smart and strong enough to overcome this but most aren't.

I consider myself a feminist and agree with the above. As we've evolved and society has changed women are also more likely to cheat, although probably for different reasons. From a biological standpoint, we live might live too long for monogamy to really work. When people only lived 50 years, staying with one partner made sense. But now that people live well into their 80s and beyond, forever is a really, really long time. I often think that it's really not natural to want only one person and some people struggle with this more than others.
As far as confronting a cheater and even telling their partner, I don't entirely agree. I don't know how old you are and what your experience is, but as you age you might find this rigid thinking loosening up a bit. I'm not saying it's ok to cheat, but it's also not all that unusual for women as well as men. More than half or even more of eonen have cheated at some point, whether they were very young or grown and married. Ita not as black and white as you make it sound. Cheaters are not all bad people just like the most faithful are not all great people.
