re: Is there anything more pathetic than a Man staying with a Woman that has cheated on him?

since she's already cheating, i highly doubt she'll give a shite.

Honest question: Would the same hold true if the man cheated and the woman stayed?

Depends on the nature of the affair but I’d say by and large more women are willing to forgive a man’s infidelity because men are more readily capable of meaningless sex.

Think about how a woman would react to cheating vs a man. Most women would be mad as a hornet while men would be emotionally devastated simply because the implications of WHY the other person cheated are so vastly different.

Aw, is your girlfriend still married?

I hope it works out for him but I don't know how he wouldn't spend the rest of his life feeling like he's her little bitch.

I mean, if that’s the perspective then yeah, 100% get a divorce

But if he sees the error chain and believes he played a part in it, then it’s easier to forgive and work on a way forward. But that’s the key, don’t “just stay”. If you’re not willing to completely rebuild it, you have to leave.

That's because nice behaviour from the man leads to women falling out of love with the man.

I have a friend who is living this. Any time I see them together I cringe. His wife is unaware that a few of his friends know she cheated, which makes it even more awkward.

It's the same story as has been posted by others. They have two young kids, and he told me the thought of not seeing them every day is too painful. He thinks when the kids get a bit older and starts having their own lives, he may be able to pull the plug on the marriage.

This is so sad and seems so common. I’m all for trying to make it work if you think the marriage is salvageable, but never “do it for the kids”.

Kids aren’t stupid. They’re going to know their dad resents their mom. They’re going to know their mom doesn’t love their dad. Best case is they grow up believing their parents are emotionally dysfunctional and it’s likely they’ll think it has something to do with them. He’s dying on a hill and doing more harm than good.

I'll also add that she'll walk 500 miles barefoot through a briar patch.

Not worth losing my job.
Plus, like I said, it just made her jealous and want me more.

That's a bitch move no matter what the facts are

One could argue the opposite: a man who will deal with cheating to protect his children should be respected. "My children are more important to me than anything else" is not a bad position.
