I knew guys at work who cheated. No reason for me to be mad at that guy, he’s not cheating with my wife. I lost all respect for them, particularly when they were dumb enough to cheat with women at work. Risk getting fired and blowing up your family? Dumb dumb dumb.
The reason to be more mad at women than men who cheat is not “patriarchy” or “lower expectations of men”. It is that she is the gatekeeper of sex. If she said no, it wasn’t going to happen. Affairs would never happen if women always said no.
This could not be more misogynistic! So the responsibility to say now is hers alone?? Sheesh.
Yes, it is. The woman has total veto power over sex, that's just a fact. All she has to do to prevent an affair from happening is say no.
But men can't say no? You are strange AF.
It is the man's role to pursue. It is the woman's role to say yes or no. If she says no, it's not happening.
I agree that married men should not pursue affairs, nor should single men chase married women. But if he does pursue, it doesn't matter how hard he chases her or how much he wants it - if she says no, it's not happening. Ergo, if women say no then affairs won't happen.

Anonymous wrote:^ doesn’t sound like she ever had an honest relationship. People that can lie and betray easily don’t learn it overnight. It’s a character flaw that likely was there long before she married.
