This trope most commonly appears in long-running series—shorter works rarely deal with the characters long enough for the disconnect to be very obvious. This trope is also highly abstract in execution—expect the target of the discontent to either be a [[Girl of the Week|Guy Or Girl of The Week]].
Some segments of real-life modern feminism have actually adopted this trope as part of their belief system, and taken it [[Up to Eleven]]. They state that if a man cheats on his female significant other, he has actually [[Rape Is a Special Kind of Evil|raped her]] because their sexual relationship is now occurring outside of the parameters they established; however, if a female cheats on her male significant other, she is simply "expressing her sexuality" and that being upset with her for it is "slut-shaming".
For a look at affairs in general, see [[Good Adultery, Bad Adultery]]. Interestingly, the more involved [[Nominal Importance|named characters]] a work has in any given adultery plot, the closer the [[Sympathetic Adulterer]] ratio between men and women reaches 1:1. [[I'm a Man, I Can't Help It]] overrides this trope, but only with sympathetic male characters. The [[Inverted Trope]] of [[My Girl Is Not a Slut]], for the post-Women's Lib era.▼

[[I'm a Man, I Can't Help It]] overrides this trope, but only with sympathetic male characters (and is increasingly unlikely to occur in modern works).
