While a movie, I do wonder, assuming you think such a thing (throwing clothes and other personal belongings out a windows and kicking them out) is acceptable, would you think it would be acceptable in the reverse? If a man had solid proof his gf was cheating would you think it okay for him to throw/leave her stuff on the door step and kick her out?

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.
Key word: seems. It seems that way to YOU, for some reason. That doesn't mean it seems that way to anyone else. Cheating is cheating.

People (especially you young ones, and you MRA bloggers and blog-readers), please: remember that TV and the movies are entertainment, and therefore fantasy. Work to ground yourselves in reality. You'll have less aggravation that way.

Nope. Good try, though.

If you're unhappy in your relationship, you can either take steps to fix it, or end it. If you want to start something with someone else, end the other relationship first. Doesn't matter if you're male or female.

So men are just unthinking animals who have no control over their biological urges?

It's like the old saying, "A man is only as faithful as his options".

Which is an idiotic, inaccurate, and male hating saying.

What crap. I've had a zillion options over the years, and I chose to take exactly none of them except the one to remain faithful to my wife and our relationship. While it lasted.

Some men are dogs. I've said that before. Others are not, or at least realize that they're on a legitimate leash and should stay or lie down and not play in the neighbors' garden.

Perhaps, but not entirely inaccurate either.

Cheating is wrong, no matter who does it and how you look at it. There is never a justification for cheating. You're not happy, well call it quit out of respect for your partner and yourself.

Why not?

Do those "reasons" that you mentioned not make any sense when it's the woman who's cheating?
