I don't watch a lot of TV but recently I noticed that the few shows I do watch occasionally have the same theme with their characters: they all romanticize (or rationalize) male infidelity.

I think that when a man cheats on you, there's no going back from that. So why then, are men so often given absolution for being weak in so many movies and TV shows?

Usually, they play the struggling hero...he's with someone.. but he's honorable, he's resourceful, he's a good guy at heart. He's only human though, right? It's okay that he slept with her or is having an emotional affair, as long as he makes peace or goes back to his wife, fiance, etc.

These things are often shown as romantic, but they are not. Betrayal isn't romantic, dishonesty isn't romantic. THIS NEEDS TO STOP.

You don't "fall into" infidelity, you choose it.

Also, most of the ladies in these shows are such pickmes.
