Men and women do not have the same propensity to forgive adultery. Man is more magnanimous. Yes, ladies, according to the US study when we learn our misfortune, we are one in two to forgive and continue our life together.

But beware, do not take us for suckers we easily forgive if the deviation took place … with another lady. However, we are more than 22% to close their eyes when the traitor has crept in bed with another man. The study was conducted by psychologist Jaime C. Confer (University of Texas) with the help of his father, psychologist Mark D. Cloud (Lock Haven University). Specifically, she asked 700 students on its campus to imagine they were in a relationship with a person for at least three months and then asked about their likely reaction on learning that they were wrong.
Because this can happen to us other men, to yield to the temptation also (but it’s so rare!), The two researchers also interviewed the women about the attitude they would take to the discovery of a away from their mate. If it were to deceive with another woman, they would show slightly warmer than we: 28% are ready to preserve the couple. However, they are only 21% to forgive a homosexual gap.
Paternity
How to explain this significant difference in reaction between men and women? Jaime C. Confer, of course, his explanation. For her, though many men arrange episodic homosexual relationship of their companion is that it does not threaten paternity in the couple. And for a buck, that’s what counts above all, be certain to be the father of her children. Then the appearance of a new female in her intimacy can satisfy his desire (unconscious or not) multiply partners. The fantasy of sleeping with two women at the same time is common. But beyond this, the instinct of every male (regardless of species) pushes him to copulate with females the maximum in order to increase their chances of fatherhood. However, the woman sees the homosexual deception of a different eye. It interprets this as a sign of dissatisfaction with his vis-à-vis their companion couple and as a prelude to his departure.
However, this study at an American university is not necessarily a universal value. For example, I wonder what the reaction of my mistress if she knew I always sleep with my wife …
