new_stella Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 I was wondering how many women tolerate hurtful (insensitive, inappropriate, …) behaviour from their partner just because ‘at least they are not cheating’? If you are one of them, could you please try to explain how it works? I suspect there is more to it than I understand. Never heard a man saying ‘At least she's not cheating’, but: Are there any men around who feel this way? Link to post Share on other sites
norajane Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 I tolerate my SO's commitment-phobic ways. I don't know that I do it because "at least he's not cheating", but it's true that I wouldn't tolerate cheating whereas I can tolerate not being married. There are other women who accept being football widows or golf widows or World of Warcraft widows or whatever with the thought that "at least he's not cheating". Being abandoned every Sunday for 36 holes of golf, or every night for their video game fix could be intolerable to some, but it's less intolerable than an affair. Link to post Share on other sites
