It seems that men have a much harder time moving on after their wives cheat on them. As a result, the question to ask is: “Why is it harder for men to get over a cheating wife than it is for women to get over cheating husbands?”

Did you know that men do not worry about cheating on their wives the way women worry about cheating on their husbands? This is because most men expect their wives to be faithful. 

They feel confident in the love that their wives have for them. Men are blind to the fact that women can be tempted just the way they can be. As a result, they live safe in the delusion that they married angels.

Because of this blind mindset, many men may live with a cheating wife and never know it.

News of a cheating wife hits a man’s ego hard. As a result, some men find it harder to get over a cheating wife. This is the one area that makes men fragile — when their ego is injured. In choosing a wife, therefore, a man ensures that he gets one that who will nurse that ego.

A woman’s cheating is, therefore, seen as demeaning to the man’s ego and another man being preferred over him. That is why most men find it hard to forgive a cheating spouse. They feel as if loyalty has been breached.

Culturally, the issue of a cheating spouse is received with condemnation. Somehow, men can cheat and even bring another woman into the matrimonial home without much ado. As for the woman, cheating is equated to harlotry.

Consequently, it appears shameful and disrespectful to a man to discover that his wife cheated on him. Because cheating in a relationship hurts, forgiving is normally a difficult decision and is governed by two factors:

First, if you were the one who messed up, and yet you truly loved your wife, would you want to be forgiven? If the answer is yes, then work at forgiving her. Another way is to consider your best friend whose wife has cheated on him.

You deeply love both of them and believe in their marriage. What would you do? Second, since forgiveness calls for the erasing of the wrong and restoring the fellowship with the person in a way that the sin is not counted against them, many people find this walk difficult.

However, forgiveness acknowledges the injustice but makes a choice not to use it against the person. But where forgiveness is extended, it must be followed by responsible action.

The fruit of repentance must be seen, because this is the only way trust is restored.
