Cheating is a terrible, terrible thing. I highly disapprove of it. I think it’s something that weak people do—people who don’t have the balls (or ovaries) to have that tough conversation to just leave the relationship in which they’re clearly unhappy, or selfish people who want to have their cake and eat it, too. It brings misery upon a relationship, should the couple choose to be together, and can scar everyone involved for life. That being said, it’s something that both men and women do—it just doesn’t seem to be something men thought women did. Man or woman, everybody is hurt when cheated on. Most people are surprised. But men are just…so shocked that a woman could ever cheat on them, you can almost see their brains short-circuiting. The possibility of a woman being unfaithful just didn’t cross their minds. Look, nobody should accept cheating as okay. But this is just a reality: men take cheating SO much harder than women do. Here’s why.
They thought women had low sex drives
A lot of men presume their partners don’t even really want to have much sex with them, let alone anyone else. They figure their partners have sex with them because they love them and it’s part of a healthy relationship. But they don’t realize women could have such a high sex drive that they’d pursue multiple partners at once.
