Does being a ‘real man’ mean staying after a wife cheats and lies?

[Anonymous]

First, If you have a problem with this being a gendered question Please kindly DO NOT ANSWER. I know both women and men cheat. The rate is very nearly 50/50. Both genders are guilty. You just never, ever see men posting stupid shit like "A real man sticks with you after you cheat, he helps you with your flaws" You literally never see that stupidity coming from men. You see them making stupid excuses, lying, and so on, but that's about it. You also never see men trying to pin cheating pregnancy on men.

So Tell me, does a real man have to accept her flaws including infidelity, cheating, and paternity fraud?

True

False

No, a “real man” does not stay after cheating or paternity fraud. A real man has boundaries, self-respect, and zero tolerance for betrayal. Staying loyal to someone who repeatedly lies and cheats isn’t strength, it’s self-abandonment.

You can forgive, but you’re never obligated to stay. Red flag city. 🚩

Quite the opposite. Any man who lets someone walk all over him like that is no man at all. A real man imposes negative consequences for disrespect and bad behavior. A simp sticks around and rewards a cheating whore for her disrespect and selfish behavior. Unfortunately the cheating whores tend to know that simps fall for women utilizing the “real man” nonsense coming from women.


Let’s be clear: men haven’t been allowed to tell women how to behave in generations. Therefore women have no right or responsibility to tell men how to behave.

"Real men would work through it and help you become a better woman." That assertion assumes that men are morally superior to women. (That is not MY opinion, but it seems to be the belief behind this statement.)

A REAL man honors his commitment but recognizes that his partner's breach of the agreement excuses him from being further bound to his prior commitment. WHY would anyone - male or female - stay in a relationship in which you will forever question your partner's loyalty?

No, a REAL man protects himself and leaves a woman who does not respect him. Period. End of story!

False. I could see forgiving her once under certain circumstances but more than once and it would be adios.

Ignore what women think masculinity is. 95% don't even know what feminity is.
