Who is more unforgiving when one cheats? The man or the woman?

I think cheating is hard on whoever is being cheated on. But in my experience the men find it harder to forgive.I know a particuler person that forgave her husband for cheating on her on more than one occassion.But when he heard a rumor{nothing proven}that she was cheating on him with a co-worker, he left her...go figure. They are back together but i think what he did was harsh.But like you said men look at cheating as an insult to their manhood.Whereas women look at it as an insult to their hearts.

I see more women forgiving and tolerating it than men.I have even seen a man cheat and be forgiven and then be so unforgiving when he finds his wife has done the same. Truthfully, I am a woman and I would forgive but i'd still end the relationship. it would change how i look at the relationship too much. I don't and never have cheated even in a bad relationship. I wouldn't tolerate it.

well , It may be I have very little bit experience beacuse I have ben cheated from only two girls in my life ... but only I can say that its very painful and those times we cann't think to forgive that person ... thanks !!!

i think we just can categorize as general like this. not men or women. it depends on who has cheated and how deep was the wound. one of my friend, who is male , cheated me so badly that i will hate him forever. but may be if it was not so serious, i could have forgiven.

The one that is more unforgiving whe someone cheats is the MAN. Because a man trust is not easily given. When you break the trust you cannot easily gain it back again. When a man trust a girl then he really loves her.

I'm a man..and i admit that its really unforgivable if your woman cheats! not only stepping our manhood but also to our superb egos...But, i think woman is more unforgiving..though they forgive the man who cheats but they can't forget it..not forgetting it is is a sign of unforgiving..its hard for a man to forgive such offense but ones a man forgives, its forgotten and never brought out into any conversation again especially in times do partners quarrel..most woman nag it to their husband who cheats..lol!..he's not a real man if he cannot totally forgive his wife/partner...

I don't think either to be honest... Cheating hurts no question about it.. I don't think though people do it to hurt one another it's just the fact they aren't happy who they are with at that present time so they go on and find someone that will make them happy.. So it's a same in my oppion, we will forgive in time but not right away! It's life and it's something we all deal with at least one time in our life!

both. for it will ruin the relationship already. no matter if the man cheated or the woman it will leave the relationship with a lot of issue to fight about. if you are no longer happy with the relationship then just tell the other person, rather than go out and cheat. men cheat more than women i can also believe in that but, men thought women to cheat so women do cheat because they learned it from men. well thats only my view.

For me its the man, they are not very expressive and showy as woman! Most don't cry, they are just holding it within and most also don't share or talk about it. They don't have an outlet so they tend to keep it within and it will remain within! Thats why they can't forgive so easy or forget even if they were able to move on by starting a new relationship! and I agree with you, its a big insult in their manhood!

I think I would have to say that woman are more unforgiving atleast I know I would be but. I guess it would be a hard one to say who gets more offended.

cheating is crap! i hate how people can do it. if you are going to cheat on your current partner then you dont truly love them. in that case, break up with them first i say. it will save alot of hurt. in saying that why do so many people take cheaters back? all different circumstances i know but its not fair, and these people sleeping with taken men and women! thats bad too. i think its bulldust whatever way you go. the answer to your question, i think women are more likley to forgive than men though. women are more emotional and tend to even blame themselves where as men are opposite to us and often will not blame themselves for someone elses doing. and too right in that situation. us women are silly for forgiving those cheating pig. sorry, its a sore point with me.

that's a tough one... MAybe you are right, but I think some women are too proud to forgive as well... I think it also depends who you have cheated them with... If its you best friend, women will take it much worse than men...

I think both men and women are equally the same in forgiving.One thing i obeserved is Men forgives woman rather than men and women forgives men rather than women.

its harder to forgive the woman because most guys don't give second chances...

yes i do agree, men cheat more than women, or sometimes, women dont get caught. haha whichever, and whatever... i think that women has the tendency to always forgive.. women, not all are martyr beings.. just one smile, a sorry and our helts start to melt again.... yup yup... girls tend to accept the idea more... whereas the guys they will not think that is forgiveable... there could be exceptions, but that is rare. Guys don't want their other guy friends to think so low of them so they have their so called reputation, and egos to protect. :)

Both gender cheat equally. The question of who is more forgiving depends on the seriousness of the offend. Overall ratings are women forgive easily. You know why? They can forgive but difficult to forget. Men on the other hand find that if they forgive easily, it will bruise their egos.

I agree with you that its harder for men to forgive than women, because women have the more forgiving, understanding, and compassionate side to them.

The men tend to hold a woman for cheating. The woman....they seem to easily take a man back. Some of them would.

From my point of view, men are usually the one who is unforgiving when their women cheats... It is their pride and ego that will not allow them to really forgive the one that they love once they cheat.. They could even say "once a cheater will always be a cheater" *winkz* but with women, we are soft and we usually the one who forgives the guys since we would want the relationship work again for the second time around... But for me it doesn't really matter, if ones cheated then that's it!

I think women are more forgiven, because by nature they are more caring and sensitive.
