Why do men seem to have a much harder time emotionally dealing with the knowledge that their girlfriend and/or wife had a physical relationship with another guy and can't let it go and just move on and forgive and forget?
Exactly. I gave up myself and the things I love to appease my stbxw. She constantly accused me of cheating our entire 15 years together. I stopped playing music, stopped having friends, stopped living really, to put her at ease (which of course didn't work anyway). And SHE cheated.Maybe part of it has to do with the level of sacrifice given by the man. Many of us were in the "giver" category in regards to our marriage. When you have given all that you possibly can offer, she treats you as "plan b" and blames your for her betrayal it doesn't leave you with a feeling that she is worth it. This causes very deep resentment in men.
