BullSh*t if a man feels it is expected so "get over it"... you are correct ... women usually aren't surprised but they don't have to tolerate it either... that's why I stay single..

This should not even half to be a serious question for someone. If a man (or a woman) cheat, how could the SO accept it and still trust the person?

Some people have open marriages and are okay with it. In that case, since everything is out in the open and no one is lying, they don't consider it cheating.

It makes me sad that a woman could even ask this question.

What does the year 2011 have to do with it? It's to be accepted in 2011 and future years, yet it was not acceptable in 2010 and before? Surely you jest.

Any women or man who accepts cheating of a spouse/SO as the norm, to me, is weak, needy and totally lacks self esteem. In addition to that, cheating is indicitive of a total lack of respect for their partner.

Well what about the whole church thing? Love and cherish = cheating openly?
Some classic vows include not promising yourself to another man/woman.

And what about the kids if they have some? Is that respectful of the family to have that rep? Are they setting a good example for the daughter to grow up and accept that knowing it could bring home a death sentence?

I believe in order to really love and cherish a person you have to have the whole picture in mind. Not just the two immediate parties. And even then...how would you explain mommy is dying of aids because daddy wanted to go out and play?
Taking a chance on killing the parent of your child just so the adult can get laid is not love.

Doesn't bother Hillary, she gets what she wants out of it.

Maria Shriver did the right thing however.

I'm with MM. It's ok with some women, but it wouldn't work in my home.

I think hell just froze over. We agree.

And just to add support, I have spoken to females who say that they don't care if their man is cheating, as long as they are not being disrespected and use protection.

In 2011, I cannot understand why a woman would be surprised if their man/husband cheated.
In 2011 I can understand why people have no morals, standards or values....because society continues to make excuses for those with no character.

Either you have character, or you don't.
