RP says that men and women cheat for different reasons - that women swing to a new man, men just want a harem.
Ladies, when, if ever, do you think it is appropriate to stay with a man who cheats? Under what circumstances would this be a reasonable course of action? Is there a reason for the cheating that makes forgiveness more likely? Does the status of your relationship make a difference (dating vs marriage)? Can a relationship survive if he cheats? Does RP theory impact your opinion?
Optional bonus point for: Have you ever been cheated on (and what did you do)? Do you think this impacts your view on the subject?
Necessary caveat - I'm not asking for myself, so don't go giving me advice. This is a purely theoretical discussion that I may at some point turn into a theory post (baby schedule permitting).
