I have a question for men and women in relationships. I recently had a discussion with my group of friends (we’re all in our mid to late 20s) and the disagreement really got me thinking. The question was “If you were going to forgive an affair, which could you forgive? An emotional affair or a physical one?” The answers were immediate. The men said they would not even consider forgiving their girlfriends if they had sex with another man. The women said they could not forgive their boyfriends if they emotionally connected with another woman. The reasoning both the men and women in the group gave for their answers was that “by nature, women feel with their hearts more and men are more territorial.” but I am having a very hard time believing that. Gender cannot possibly be the only factor, so I’m thinking it might be because none of us are married and are in the same age group. So I’m opening the discussion up to this discourse so we can get better poll results. What would you choose? Please include your age and relationship status for better results. (Obviously it goes without saying, don’t cheat on your partner . This question is for the sake of discussion only.) submitted by /u/manebernal
