Especially for men but even women too.

like with how much more men statistically benefit from relationships and how hard dating is for younger men I just don’t buy they would break off a relationship with a woman who cheated on them. Especially if she gave them a good deal because not only is fending a girlfriend harder but women just won’t put up with mediocrity anymore we only date if we are interested we have our own money (young women out earn young men), our emotional support structure is better and the orgasm gap is real most men don’t measure up.

So would you seriously rather be single then settle ? Every man says this but looking at the data it seems none of them mean it.

    The circumstances.

    If it wasn’t a situation where it was a recurring character trait thing, but one time, unusual circumstances, quickly disclosed, STD tested before we did it again, and if we’d been together a long time first.

    Now, having said that - I don’t think infidelity comes out of nowhere, if it’s not a person who just always will cheat, there are usually problems leading to it. So it’s unlikely to work out. But I might be willing to see if it could.

    Relationships are built on trust. Cheating breaks that trust. That trust will never fully come back 100%. There so always be doubt and it will never be the same.

    a more severe brain injury prolly

    cheating is a form of living a double life

    living a single life alone adjacent to someone living multiple lives is just not enjoyable for many people

    Can’t think of one single thing that could convince me, since I’m monogamous that’s one of the few true dealbreakers.

    A person has to draw the line somewhere.

    What does your last sentence mean? What data are you seeing?

    I know I wouldn’t take back a partner who broke the trust in our relationship, and I’d hope other people would have enough self respect not to either!
