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?

Well if it was with another woman you could at least hope for the chance of a threesome, on the other hand ....

[dave50]

No it's never happened to me but it's something I could forgive.

[ummmm]

You say that Dave but in reality you might not be able to.

Apart from the often stated fantasies of a potential 3 in bed situation, I thought a man may feel emasculated that his wife found the charms of a woman preferable to his.

To that end I think infidelity is infidelity - forgiveness is a very personal issue and some may and some may not.

[ummmm]

Some people don't even forgive text messages....

[Slapshot]

No they don't but we are all individual and we'd do what our conciences dictated

[Old_Geezer]

Another male is going to be a direct comparison with oneself. A female is a different course on the menu.

[Mamyalynne]

Onr way of looking at it OG - but he may now be off the Menu for good.

its the emotional contact that would hurt-if she just had sex with another man or fell in love with another woman and really loved this woman what would really hurt more?

[pixie373]

Wouldn't it mean you couldn't trust her with anybody?

[JFinch]

I would say yeah probably.
