of course if your spouse or lover cheated on you it would feel bad, but would it feel worse if your husband or lover cheated with another woman or more dramatically with a man? as a woman would you prefer him to cheat with another woman or another man, would cheating with a man make it hurt more or less, please give your answers and explain for best response. if you are a man, change the scenaria to your woman cheated on you with another man, or she cheated on you with another woman, which would hurt worse and why

They say that betrayal of trust is the most painful cause for a failed relationship. If ever my husband makes that big mistake, it would really make his life miserable because I will kick, bite, make trouble, and finally demand that he leaves for good. Of course I know that our two grown up children will be siding with me, so it's really his loss, not mine...and good riddance. It would really be heart-breaking...but what the heck...I can always pick up the broken pieces and bounce back. As long as I have my children with me, I know that I would be fine ....

I would be very upset about it because it has happened to me so many times in the past. I think i would actually prefer him to cheat on me with another man because there is too much competition with other women. I would feel like the other woamn was better than me. If he cheats with a man, it is like he really likes men and me.

I am so sorry you are having a bad night. It would be hard to accept either way. I'm not sure how I would react. In this day and age, anything is possible.

After a number of years with a person you trust love and respect you would wonder what they were trying to do that they would do such a thing? I don't cheat but if I found out my wife did that would put her in a bad light for a long time and I could have cheated not to long ago butI said not and it would have beens easy but I did not let this enter my mind....I would of if I was not happy with my marrige and we already had issues..but why open can of worms like this? How can people do this to other peoople and think its no big thing..so what? what is having to get a little fun going to hurt anything""? I now the guilt and the shame always comes out..don't ask me why but the truth alsays come out in one form or another...You are only fooling your self when yu deceive anyone...cheaters never prosper.

At least if it was another man i would know it wasn't because I was inadequate..... I don't think it would hurt any less though. A betrayal is a betrayal.

Dear winterrose, Trust you to get some funny queries? No I cannot even think or can tolerate my hubby with anyone other than me.. No I cannot accept that.. whichever way it goes. I'd just pack my bags and out I will go .. No compromises and no chance of thinking twice before leaving the place. As far as I am concerned it got over that's all even if it is thirty year old marriage like mine is now..

Hello. It is a very sorry feeling to know your soulmate betraying you. I am a man and if my life partner cheats me for another man I think she is guilty. It will be her fault. We both should adjust and live happily. But if my life partner leaves me for another girl I think it will not be her fault. She may know after marriage that she is not straight but may be lesbian. She may be attracted by woman rather than man. Even if she knows this before her marriage she may still try to avoid it and live a happy married life with a man. But her body may not support it. So if a woman cheats me for a man it would be more painful than she cheating me for a woman.

It would matter to me..Cheating hurts no matter who he cheated with...But I believe if my husband cheated with a man there is no way in heck I'd give him another chance...Thats just nasty..
