In a new study by the infamous dating site Ashley Madison Men known for their discreet dating turned out to be more forgiving than their female counterparts when it came to being cheated on.
Men are more willing to turn the other cheek
The survey interviewed 3,000 participants and found this to be the case 85% of the female respondents had been forgiven on a previous issuewhile only 80% of the men had been awarded for the same offense. Additionally, 86% of men replied that they would forgive their partners for cheating on them, while only 82% of women retaliated.
Psychotherapist Lucy Beresford explains that this inequality depends on how the different sexes perceive the concept of relationship. She explains that:
When faced with the idea of cheating, men focus on what happened physically. Women, on the other hand, are more interested in the emotional impact. The fact that men seem more forgiving could also be because men and women tend to process their reactions to infidelity differently.
The data collected also showed that around A fifth of those affected admit not to have sexual intercourse with her secret partner who became Dr. Beresford’s belief that men focus on the physical while women focus on the emotional would contribute:
Men are much more interested in knowing about the physical aspects of an affair and find it hard to forgive when it actually comes down to sex. Whereas women are much more affected when they believe there is an emotional connection to the affair.
And added:
They are much less likely to forgive emotional infidelity in an affair relationship, and men are much less likely to forgive physical infidelity.
