Of course cheating is a huge betrayal, but it is often not the end to a relationship (and especially not when there are young children involved). I’ve seen this happen twice. The woman in each instance wanted to continue the relationship, the man minimalised the cheating (did not tell the full truth), and the anger was directed against the woman who the man was cheating with.
In my larger circle of friends, there was a couple, and I knew (via someone else) that the man had cheated and that she had discovered it. They continued the relationship. I knew the man a lot better than the woman (from way back), and we used to play Wordfeud. It was very innocent, no flirting at all, just friendly. And then I heard from a mutual friend that the man was no longer allowed to play Wordfeud with me. Not because he had proven to be unreliable with women (he had already cheated twice during the relationship), oh no, but because she thought I
was trying to seduce the poor innocent man via Wordfeud. Because Wordfeud has a chat function, and the messages disappear automatically after some time, so could not be fully monitored by her.
I’m sorry but some women are just stupid and in denial.
Anyway, I’d much prefer a bald man over a cheater
