I've read a theory about this. There was an evo psych paper not to long ago that argued that the reason same-sex attraction is more common in women is that it is more selected for by men. If you're a man and your wife is also into girls, then she may bring in a girlfriend which would be an extra mate for you. I think this paper is revealing the same thing. That men care less if their spouse cheats with a girl because that girl could get brought into the relationship which would lead to more offspring for the man.

On the other hand, if you're a woman and your spouse cheats with a man, bringing that extra man into the relationship doesn't mean that you can have any extra children because women's fertility is capped. So there is no benefit to an extra male. In addition to the lack of benefits, male-male sex is the fastest way to transmit STDs and could lead to potential infection for the female romantic partner.

Basically, for men, if your spouse cheats with another woman there is zero chance of you being cuckolded because she can't get pregnant from the encounter and you might even get a chance to score with the new girl.
