I recently read a thread where a guy had cheated on his girlfried with three different women, then wanted advice on how to tell her.

We bashed the heck out of him, because we thought it was a really crummy thing he did.

Not a week later, I read a thread where a woman cheated on her husband, and was worried that he was going to cheat to get back at her.

Everyone including myself was sympathetic to her.

Why?

Because whenever a man cheats and tells us about it, he cheated because...his wife was no longer attractive, or because he wasn't getting any...or some really insensitive reason.

Whenever a WOMAN cheats and tells us about it, it's because her husband "neglected" her, or ignored her, or abused her....

Apparently, women tend to have (and this is NOT ALWAYS) totally different reasons for having affairs than men do.

So now, to all those people who are always asking, "How come whenever a man cheats, he's scum, but whenever a woman cheats, everyone says, 'aw, I'm sorry'" this is your reason. Majority of the women who cheat do so because they have lost all connection with their husband, and their husband is not interested in making it right, and the woman feels totally unattractive...when along comes someone she can have an affair with. Majority of the men who cheat have some hot woman that tears their attention away from their average wife at home.
