I know when my ex gf's and ex wife cheated, never in my mind was I compelled to confront whoever they were cheating with. In fact, I wanted to thank them for showing me who they really were.

I'm dead serious when i say this.

Yes but not the way most men and women that got cheated on would have reacted. He is upset but doesn't insult her and the break-up seems to be on soft terms. As the thread goes further, he seems to be going gentle on her. He even took his time to confront her about it instead of doing it right away.

He left her. I think he handled it great.

Do you know how many people yell and insult and punish the person who cheated on them but still never leave them? This guy left. Bravo to him.

I think that it's just harder to be angry with someone you love than it is a total stranger -- when you don't know the "cheatee", it's easy to paint her as some home-wrecking harlot with long, crimson talons who's just dying to get her mitts on your husband's/boyfriend's credit cards ...

But it that were the only rationale, men would feel the same hatred toward the other man, in a reverse situation, right?

The closest thing I can describe this type of anger is that when a woman poaches you man, she violates the sisterhood. Women still have the short end of the stick, economically speaking. We still get stuck with the sh*t work in the childrearing. Women should know better than to threaten what could well be the very livelihood of another woman, because that could well be her one day -- or at least that's what I think could be happening.

I would be doing both, yelled at the cheater and leave. I'm just amazed how he handled it. He doesn't even wishes her bad things even after she did that. If that was my house, I would have wanted them out immediately.

No, I am being sarcastic.
Of course women are 100% responsible for their own behavior.

I liked the way he handled it. I understand where he is coming from. I mean, what really is there to say to her? Whatever excuses or whining that would come out of her mouth would just be insulting to him along with a bunch of lies anyway. I wouldn't want to hear it either. I think the fact that he left her says it all. I don't know about her staying in his house though. That makes it more complicated.

He didn't confront her that very same day but waited 2-3 days later. I read he helped her move all her stuff and drove with her to her parents' house.

I'm glad he took the ring when he left.
