Are Men More Likely To Forgive A Wife Who Slept With Another Woman Rather Than Another Man?

[dave50]

From my point of view, if my wife slept with another man, I could never forgive her, than would be it. However if she slept with another woman then to me it wouldn't seem half as bad. Do any men out there agree with me?

[janbee]

I suppose some people wouldn't see it as being "unfaithful", just experimental !

[joggerjayne]

Obviously.

Sleeping with another man is betrayal.

Sleeping with another woman is just experimentation. A little adventure.

[Baldric]

Unless it was a Woman I wanted to sleep with it would be no problem, but beating me to it ....... . . . .

[Sqad]

Depends.

If the wife was "good at her job" I would forgive her, but if i wanted an excuse to get rid of her, then i would use her infidelity as that excuse.

Struggling to answer this sensibly.... so won't bother, could I watch and could I be included.. ;0)

Seriously... don't know, never been in a position to think about it but as mentioned elsewhere... a significant proportion of blokes find two women together erotic....... hmmm interesting

[joggerjayne]

I'm not sure that this is the most serious thread ever posted on AB.

But hey, that's not a bad thing.

[joggerjayne]

Actually, using the "Bill Clinton Scale" ...

Women never actually have sex together.

So the guy can't really complain.

Hmm ...

[Slapshot]

No but cigars do..........

I guess a lot of that would depend on what get you going, for every bloke that would happily allow sex with another female there are some who wouldn't object to a wife and another man, we know it happens.

[RandyMarsh]

Yes.

[piggynose]

dave50, go on tell us, has it ever happened to you?

[maggiebee]

What if you husband had slept with another man? Would that be OK?

[Greedyfly]

I don't understand this logic. Either way she has been unfaithful.

[ummmm]

I asked my OH and he says it wouldn't make a difference....I'd still be a cheat.

[shoota]

I think so because there is an implied suggestion that the husband is 'not good enough' whereas that wouldn't apply to a woman.

Just thinking - never been in that situation.

[boxtops]

I'd go with Ginge's point of view - it's still unfaithfulness, IMO.

I make no apology for making that comment considering the tortured logic of most of the contributions above.

Is your best friend a female then, divebuddy?

[Slapshot]

I think this became rather tongue in cheek very quickly sorry Dave if it was a serious question.

Modern lifestyles allow freedoms that we would never have contemplated 20 years ago and I suspect the age range (and latent blokey childishness) is properly visible in this thread
