Patriarchy is so seeped in our psyche we miss it. Movies/ media etc is never innocent - it's a way of reinforcing that - men behave a certain way and women are supposed to be naive and gentle.
Had it been the other way round, the innocent house wife sleeping with someone else while husband goes out to work - then he tries to win her back, she is the one not satisfied.. the movie wouldn't have been accepted by the audience.
I notice this in Pakistani shows too - women are never given a second chance. They are not allowed to make a mistake.
