Did you know that research proves that gay men are more likely to forgive cheating?
This was the result of a survey done in England. To give you an idea, the number of people interviewed was around two thousand.
The answers, curious to say the least, brought several possibilities. Undoubtedly, betrayal is an item that ends up causing the end of many relationships.
And, it was noticed that this is easier to occur in the case of heterosexuals, since the gays interviewed, in 32%, stated that this would not be a reason to break up the relationship.
With regard to heterosexuals, only 12% said they would continue with their partner if the betrayal was discovered.
Gays also showed in the middle of the research to cheat more. While 19% of straight men said they had already cheated, the number of gay men is 30%.
One of the reasons gays are more likely to forgive cheating is that they are more open-minded, less tied to traditionalism, for example.

For them, even threesomes are much more common than people think. The famous exchanges of couples also happen a lot.
And all that, without major worries or charges. Of course it varies a lot. There may be gay couples who don't allow any of this. It's very relative. Varies a lot.
The important thing is that the agreements between the couple are always fulfilled, so that things work out, work out.
No doing things the other wouldn't like. It ends any relationship. It's all a matter of conversation and what is stipulated.
Was it said from the beginning that you would have a more open relationship, with no strings attached? For then that is the way it must be.
The best thing to do between the couple is to have transparency. Ever.
Yes. And gays end up being more sentimental. Having another way of seeing things.
And of course this makes them also more understanding and accepting of some things that straight people don't accept at all.
But like I said, it's all relative. It depends on each case. There are those who are gay and not at all sentimental.
It depends on the person, how he is, what he is willing to do or not and so on.
But, regardless of whether you are reading this and are gay or not, there are some points that must be considered regarding whether or not to forgive a betrayal.
Are we going to meet them?
One of them is to consider whether the other person has cheated on other occasions, during other relationships.
That's because, usually when you start a relationship, or even before that, people talk about various things and this is one of the subjects that usually come up on the agenda.
So, if the person has already cheated, it's good to keep an eye out because it could happen to you too. And yes, as we've seen, gay men are more likely to forgive cheating, but the number of people who forgive is far from 100%.
Finding out the reason for the betrayal can also be very relevant. It may be that, for example, this happened because you gave reasons, cheated too or something like that.
When the reason is discovered, it becomes much easier to understand things.
After the couple has talked about what happened, they need to make some assumptions about whether or not it will happen again.
Want to see? Imagine that, despite knowing that gay men are more likely to forgive cheating, let's say you are and are in doubt. Your partner went to a party alone and ended up drinking more than he should have and cheating occurred.

Ask him if he would have the courage to do it again, in a similar or similar situation. If the answer is yes, you already know it's time to get away from him. After all, how to be in a relationship without trust?
If the answer is no and you don't know what to do, you can tell the person how you are feeling and say that if it happens again, there will be no more forgiveness.
That way things are fixed and at least she can never say she wasn't warned.
It's always easier to be honest. Thus, you avoid several problems and things are transparent.
If she has cheated on you, a good tactic is to ask her to put herself in your shoes.
Comment that gays are more likely to forgive betrayal, yes, but that does not mean that the other will accept everything that is done.
Make it clear how much this upset you and that you never expected this attitude from the person, who proved not to deserve your trust.
And that now, it's time for her to try to win her back. If that's really important to her.

Another question to think about is how the relationship was when the betrayal happened. If he was in trouble, he was fine. Thus, it is easy to wonder if there was an extra stimulus for what happened.
Not that there's any justification for cheating, not at all. But some points can make it easier for someone else's will to be part of the daily life of one of the parties of the couple.
When things aren't going so well, anyone else who comes along and gives a little attention is considered the best in the world.
Different from when things between the couple go well and neither of them thinks about cheating.
Or else, I'm sorry to inform you, your relationship will never work out again. If you don't want to forgive and prefer to break up, that's fine too. But you can't let it hurt you, keep hammering in your head.
Have you ever thought if you forgive and all the time, when the person is not with you, the thought is that they are doing something wrong?
No conditions, right?
Now let me ask you a question: do you have a problem with prejudice too? Are there a lot of people who have been telling you unnecessary things? we support the criminalization of homophobia.
