Egs of Films where women cheat on men

OH is seriously annoyed because I am watching Life of the Party. Melissa McCarthy is treated really badly by her husband who asks for a divorce and is cheating on her.
He is annoyed because it is making a man the bad guy.
He has gone onto ask what I am going to do when our sons (13 and 7) can't get jobs in the future because of sexist women.

I don't know how to answer this. I want to give him examples of films where women are the cheating spouse and get their comeuppance but I can't think of any. Can you think of any?
This is the only way I can think of to counter his overreaction to a silly film.

Fatal affair on Netflix

If your DH thinks yours sons are going to miss out on jobs because of sexist women then films are not really your biggest problem. That’s a crazy idea. Can’t really think of any films though - sorry.

I know but it's such a big discussion/argument to have that I can only think to approach it on a superficial level.
And I can't think of any films where the woman is portrayed as a complete heel.
I looked up Fatal Affair and the synopsis showed that the man who the woman had an affair with was still the bad guy.
