Infidelity Can Be Self-Care for Women
A new study suggests that cheating may have mental-health benefits for women in committed relationships, but the exact opposite was true for men

Jfl at believing in marriage in this day and age
JflThe only problem is that for men, this impulse mostly backfired, and the more committed they were in their relationships, the worse they felt about themselves after an affair. On the flip side, women “seem to recover and even thrive after infidelity,” the researchers noted, echoing past findings that women are more likely to cheat when they’re unhappy with a relationship.
This fucking bullshit again jfl. "If you cheat, you're a piece of shitBasically, when women cheat, it’s possible they’re cheating their way out of a bad situation, often with someone they have a deeper romantic connection with, which improves their overall well-being. It might not be the most ethical form of self-care, but it can help some women who feel otherwise trapped.
Conversely, men tend to cheat more randomly, according to psychotherapist Robert Weiss, who wasn’t involved in the new research. “A man who casually cheats may do so without feeling a significant degree of emotional connection to a mistress, while a woman who cheats could see things differently, with sex and emotional connection intermingled in ways that make compartmentalization more difficult,” he explained in Psychology Today.

So even if they don’t get caught, it makes sense why they would feel worse after the fact, especially if they love the person they’re with.
Women, on the other hand, don’t feel bad because they’re too busy looking for the door.
So, I'll just put here a gentle reminder for both you brocels and whatever random lurkers might find this thread, that 57% of liberal women say that it's always wrong if a man has an affair, but only 36% of them say the same about women having affairs, a whole 21 percentage point difference.

Liberal and Conservative Women Have Very Different Views About Marital Infidelity
Few behaviors seem to provoke near-universal condemnation more than marital infidelity. Even as Americans have become more accepting of premarital sex, teenage sex, and sex between people of the same gender, there is a near consensus that marital infidelity is wrong. A 2022 Gallup survey found...
