No-one can force another person to be unfaithful. If a husband's behavior is so bad, a woman has other choices other than being unfaithful. We should always behave with personal dignity because, at the end of the day, that's what you're left with. One partner behaving badly does not mean in any way that the same kind of behavior is the only way to respond.

Two people enter into a relationship with their own set of morals and personal values. It is not always guaranteed that these values are going to be the same, so when one person is offended or hurt by their partners' behavior, it remains then for the offended partner to behave in a manner which coincides with their own personal set of values.

A woman has many choices when confronted by her husband's bad behavior. As a final straw she can leave the relationship, but there are interim solutions that can be sought, such as counseling and time taken out of the relationship. Two wrongs never make a right, and even if the woman was inclined to react in a similar manner she is only compounding the already existing problem.

Yes, a husband's behavior could force a woman to be unfaithful, but that would have to be part of her moral fiber in the first place, not a given reaction to the had behavior.
