A controversial relationship coach has offered her take on why women cheat on men while in relationships.
Sadia Khan, who boasts over a million followers online, explained on her podcast that men get cheated on because 'they don't understand female psychology'.
She went on to say that a lot of men who are cheated on were most likely raised by their mothers.
'They tend to think that their mother's advice is the key,' she said.
'They teach you to be kind, they teach you to listen to them, they teach you not to talk back, not to answer back, never to question them,' she continued.
'They train you into becoming this really good boy who's really obedient and all of these things are desexualizing. All of these things are what moms want from boys, from their sons, but it's definitely not what women want from their partners.'
Khan then said that men need to be more assertive in their relationships rather than taking the laid back approach.
'We want a man that's fearless. So if you're a man that's afraid of flying, afraid of heights, afraid of confrontation, afraid, afraid, afraid, automatically she's less attracted,' said Khan.
'We like some protective jealousy - they care about you, so they worry about you,' she continued.
'So whenever a man comes to me who's been cheated on, he'll tell me, "I never stopped her from doing anything. I allowed to go on holidays whenever she wanted, I allowed her to come home whenever she wanted, she could post whatever she wanted on Instagram and she still cheated on me!"
'And I say to them, "duh!"' Khan finished.
The comments section was divided, with some agreeing with Khan, while others felt that she was putting the blame unfairly on men.
'While all of this is true that a man should be masculine and have a backbone, it still doesn't take away the fact that he's the victim in the situation,' one person wrote.
'The person that cheated should've just left instead of betraying and traumatizing someone that they claimed to love.'
Another argued, 'Men often get cheated on not because of lust, but because of emotional neglect.
'When a woman feels ignored, unappreciated, or unloved, she slowly disconnects.'
Khan, who bills herself as both a psychologist and a relationship coach, has built up a huge following online for her no-holds-barred advice.
She's well known for her brutal dating tips, and even offers a pricey 'high value man' course that teaches men how to be more confident and charismatic.
Researchers previously found that females are unfaithful because they want 'good genes' for their offspring, known as 'dual-mating theory.'
Women tend to seek out more attractive affair partners for their genetic material, but stay with a long-term mate who would make a better parent, according to a study.
However, some participants reported straying out of boredom or a lack of investment from their current partner, saying the simply wanted to have their cake and eat it too.
The study was conducted by Australian and UK researchers who surveyed 254 heterosexual people, 116 of whom were women, and asked them to measure their physical physical, personal and parental attraction to both partners.
