I have always seen several posts on my lot about husbands cheating wives or boyfrendz cheating on their Gfs, and i always reply with leave that loser and go on with your life. And if the case is reverse, like wives cheat on husbands and so on, and she really is sorry and got carried away by the moment, i cant help but support the wife, even if she is wrong! I dont approve, but i somehow support and say she deserves a second chance. I cant see any woman in trouble because of a guy...wow do i sound too much?

Cheating is wrong. No matter if it's a husband cheating on a wife or a wife cheating on a husband. It sounds so simple in black and white. I told my first husband that the lonly thing that would end our marriage is if he cheated on me. When he did cheat on me, it wasn't so simple. I was crushed. I had been married for 18 years, had 3 children and I didn't want it to be over. I suggested marriage counselling, but he would have to end the affair if any type of counselling was to work. He refused, I left. I thought it was the end of the world. It wasn't. As time passed, I realized I was much happier without him. He, in fact, did me a favour by cheating on me. Do I still resent him? Yes. I can never forgive him for breaking up our family. That was 10 years ago.
Ten years later, my family has grown up, I have remarried to an amazing man who loves, adores and respects me. Life couldn't be better. I never told my children that their father cheated on me. That would hurt them more than it would hurt him. My daughter figured it out, but my two boys still don't know, or don't want to know and I am not going to tell them. I know they did ask their father and he lied and told them that although the timing seemed to suggest that he cheated on me, he didn't. He will have to live with that lie. I told him I would not tell them unless they asked me directly. If they asked me directly, I would not lie for him.
Did he stay with his lover? No. On the night he was going to ask her to marry him, he found his belongings on the doorstep and the locks changed.
All I can say is, what goes around comes around and I am a true believer in this.

lol, yeah I guess you sound too much indeed. I think they are equal. Since cheating has no justification or any other meaning. But, I do agree that anyone could be given a second chance to prove him/her self again. But why you can`t see any women because of a guy ?? Could you explain please.

Well i cant xplain it xactly, but as a woman, i have always been classifed as inferior to men, by many ppl i know, almost all the ppl xcept my parents, even my husband has the same thought. I have seen several things happen 2 my frendz b'coz of their boyfrndz...i dont actually say that men r always wrong, but somehow i feel women r no less n hate the way we r being treated here....
