Depends on your general psychology. If you are very competitive, you might be excited to know that you are better than hubby
In my experience and based upon other women I have talked to who have cheated, trying to find a "better" man is pretty far down the list of reasons for cheating. And it frequently does not turn out to be the case anyway.
There seems to be this notion that if a woman were being satisfied at home she wouldn't be cheating. While that may be the case it is far from the only reason women cheat. Nor is her being "satisfied" a simple matter of his sexual prowess. And even if she is "not satisfied" at home it may well be because she craves variety or things have become stale in the bedroom or there are other relationship problems or she simply wishes to let loose. None of those factors suggest the other man is "better" only that he is "other".
It is a curious thing to me the way men assume women are so much different in this regard. It is broadly accepted that given the opportunity some men will seek sexual relations with as many different women as appeal to them and that in no way implies they are seeking "better". The idea that all women are somehow wired so differently that we couldn't feel the same way is just a made up notion that helps assuage male insecurities and contributes to the suppression of women.
When Tiger Woods cheated on his gorgeous wife I don't recall anyone saying that it must have been because the the other women were better or more beautiful. Most simply understood that he cheated because the opportunity was there - it is human nature to want to have his cake and eat it too. Yes it was selfish but even people who would like to believe that they would not have done likewise don't need to infer negative things about his wife to comprehend why he did it.
IMO a lot more people would cheat on their SO if attractive opportunities to do so were being thrown at them. And reality is that attractive women are presented with abundant opportunities.
