Sex and Betrayal: She Forgives, Not Him
by Betrayal. Faced a such an eventuality, the couple will react differently. Women tend to be more willing to forgive, while men are more spiteful and vindictive.
According to the authors of the work, the difference is explained by what he and she believe is at stake with the escapade.
For women, the stakes are not fidelity “carnal” (the fact that your partner has had sex with another woman) but the stability of long-term relationship. The anger of her fear that feeds it “the other” can destroy the relationship that ensures security for you (and children).
If then the betrayal was just a momentary collapse under the woman is more ready to understand.
Otherwise, infidelity (especially if consumed with sex) upsets the man.
This is due to an ancestral reflex: The purpose of the male is to continue its descent and to do that needs a companion. But if that company weaves more bonds, there is the risk of having to raise the children of others, that is not his DNA.
We conclude the scholars: “The man has learned over the years to be hypervigilant about sex because it can never be absolutely certain of being the father of a child, while women are more concerned with having a committed partner to grow another family .
