why do you imply the woman would automatically cheat already?
I used "may" not "will", as I chose my wording carefully. "Will" as a verb is stronger, "may" is weaker.
True, we don't know the gender of the OP, and what culture he/she is from. That said, I'm talking about generalities.
Overall, and hardly surprising, genders are treated differently by the law. When a man divorces, he loses half of his wealth, saving, kids, etc. UNLESS there was a prenup. Modern women (and this is a huge factor) do not want prenups, as they see it as a sign of distrust from a man, thus the trap is set.
Unless there are circumstances to prove otherwise, who do you think the court will favour, men or women?
I encourage you to google the following: 1) 'which gender initiates divorce more', 2) 'what do men lose in a divorce'. Check the percentages.
And an anecdote: Q: How can a woman become a millionaire overnight? A: She has to marry and divorce a billionaire.

Sure, those are a fraction, but nonetheless, divorce is a lucrative business... sadly
men who leave their wives for having cancer
That's shameful on the part of men.
just because they don't get sex
Ever heard of sex-starved marriage? Why should one partner NOT have sex with another? Let alone in a marriage?
Men's sex drive is higher than a woman's. This can be used by so-called modern women to seduce men, unless he can control himself and not fall for any thirst traps (actually, this is what is happening, as some claim dating is dead - a bit of an overstatement, but still....). Check what the dating scene looks like nowadays, you may be surprised...
Lastly, OP - I do hope your partner has no lovers, and that by now, you've talked to him/her. Partner therapy may help. A divorce for a child is a blow no parent should deal. When you have fixed your marriage, the idea of polygamy will fade
