As it turns out, 50% of men in the United States are more likely to forgive their wives or girlfriends for cheating, as long as they cheated with another woman. However women wouldn't be as forgiving if they found out their husband or boyfriend cheated on them with another man. Hypocrisy?
Researchers asked 718 college students to imagine being in a long-term relationship and what their reactions would be to several different cheating scenarios.
Overall, 50 per cent of men would likely continue a relationship with a woman who had a dalliance with another woman, while only 22 per cent said they could forgive betrayal with another man.
For women, 28 per cent said they would stick with their man if he fooled around with another woman but only 21 per cent said they would if he cheated with another man.
