Search Results: forgive someone for cheating

A study regarding cheating partners revealed that men were more likely to forgive their partners if they fell in love with another, but will find it hard to forgive them for having sex with someone else.

Whereas women were more likely to forgive their partners if they had sex with someone else, but less likely to forgive them for falling in love.

I realise that this is a huge generalisation over one study.

But popular belief (again huge generalisation) is that men can detach sex from emotions, so why are they less likely to forgive sex, if some men see sex as just that, sex?

And women, IN GENERAL, are seen to be more affectionate and emotional, so the study results are consensus to the female stereotype, as they are less likely to forgive their partner for falling in love with another person.

What are your thoughts?

I personally would just break up on someone if they cheated on me unless we're married then I'd try to work it out, I don't know how but I would try.
