The point that was thoroughly debunked is simply that who gets jealous more when it comes to sexual infidelity in particular is not dependent on sex, but culture (which informs attachment style), and this was proven with cross-cultural data. It may be the case that women are more jealous of sexual infidelity in America, but that shouldn't be extracted to some global truth about "female psychology" as though it is a monolith.
I see. It's actually difficult for me to determine just who gets more upset at it. Seems like everyone does. Just a couple months ago an ex-NFL football players wife kidnapped the woman that he was having an affair with, killed her and then killed herself. At least he didn't have all his stuff dumped outside of the house. I'm sorry, that was uncalled for... or was it... when did humans start to make cheating into such a
'thing'? I honestly think that when the Lord of the Manor or the King could call dibs on a guys betrothed it put things into perspective. Bottom line, people deal with cheating the same way they deal with anything huge in their lives. It's highly individual. Some people turn inward, some turn outward, some get violent, others get vindictive, and you are right it isn't gender dependent.
Yeah but a man can be happy with his relationship but still cheat out of biological drive. It's a bit different.
Happy people don't cheat. Period.
I'm a dude. I've had opportunities. Never done it. I respect/respected my wife/past girlfriends. Cheating is almost always about the one doing the cheating more than the one being cheated on.
To suggest that guys, as a rule, are somehow helpless pawns to their sexual urges is ridiculous and insulting.

I'm the same as you that I've never cheated in a commited relationship either
However happy people don't cheat?..... Nah sorry don't believe it as the most I've seen have been in love and ultimately happy with there partners and still cheat.
It's mainly because they don't think they will get caught of course and others when they've had a drink for example.......... It can happen mate
For some cheating is a way of life, it doesn't matter if they are happy or not.
It's like you love chicken, you have chicken; now you want steak.

The reason I ask is because it seems as if a man cheats it's one of the worst things anyone can do, but if a woman cheats it's all the man's fault and he should've done more.
I would assume "worse", because women are presumed to be above all that, what some husbands do. Of course, in general they aren't more eligible for sainthood than the men, so....
But then again, there is no such thing as right or wrong.
These two statements are contradictory. Which one is it?. Besides that, we have all kinds of laws against all kinds of things. So are you saying murder is not bad? employers cheating customers or employees is not bad? Govt. officials lying to the people is not bad?
Cheating is indeed bad, and since cheating is considered wrong, in almost every culture there is all over the world, the conclusion of most people is, its bad.
Cheating is just people acting on their natural impulses and doing what makes them happy. Is that really so bad?
While I do agree with natural impulses, I believe right/wrong is highly dependent on one's commitments with their partner. Cheating by its very nature impacts the partner who entered into that commitment which is wrong.
It is natural to try to assign blame but to do so without determining one's own part in the situation is also in my opinion wrong.
But then again, there is no such thing as right or wrong.
If cheating was a death sentence, people wouldn't do it. But it's not.

There is no such thing as right or wrong? I feel like Ted Bundy would agree with that statement. But non-sociopaths would not.
