Which is harder to get over, the bad things women do to good men or the bad things men do to good women?

Question

I don't include extremes in my conclusions, like the horrible domestic abuse men perpetrate on women or women taking houses/children away from fit husbands they're divorcing. I'm talking about the commonplace things that most people go through once or twice during their dating careers.

Answer 1

They are both equally bad. The key is how to find healing and become a better person after it all, and choosing your next one with care and wisdom.

Answer 2

Its harder for the good man, because men, even good men, are usually less forgiving than women. For instance, statistically, When a woman cheats on a man, their marriage is twice as likely to end in divorce compared to a man who cheats on his wife. The wife can generally forgive the infidelity, while the man usually is eaten up with jealousy

Answer 3

I think women have a greater incentive to nurse their injuries. Men are seen as weak if they're still holding onto stuff from the past so I think that men try harder to let go of that stuff. Women earn themselves sympathy from their girlfriends when they complain about their exes.

Answer 4

Studies show that the male ego is much more fragile than the female ego, therefore, it is my belief that is harder for a good man to get over the bad things women do.

Answer 5

I think it totally depends on the person. Some people, regardless of their gender, have a hard time getting over offenses done to them. Others can let the bad stuff roll off them like water off a duck's back.

Answer 6

I would think that it is equally devastating regardless of gender. The goal is definitely to find a way to pick yourself up and move forward with your life.

When you feel as though you were wronged, it is easy to stay in a victim mentality. A better way to deal with this is to look at what the lesson is to be learned from the situation.

Answer 7

Bad is as bad does. I know that is a dumb parody of Forrest Gump, but bad is bad and there is no way around it. It doesn't matter, because there is no limit of gender to bad behavior and hurting others. Both men and women do it, and it's sad.

Answer 8

They are equally bad. Men tend to get over it faster than women do though.

Answer 9

Bad is bad. Both are terrible, but in different areas.

I find that men can get physically or verbally bad, while women can get emotionally and spiritually bad.

Answer 10

Women getting over men....I'm used to getting kicked around...Hey, there's a million of em out their, they can't be all bad...
