Cuckold or Adulterer

Would you rather be cheated on or catch your partner cheating on you?



Considerations:

• Assume a long-term committed relationship.


• Aforementioned cheating would be continuous (mistress/[is the male version a mister? master?) rather than a one time ordeal (oops).


• If you opt to be cheated on, you would discover the indiscretions of your partner.


• Cuckolds can retain the "moral high ground" and garner sympathy ("poor guy, his wife cheated on him").


• If you were the cheater, assume a 50% chance that you would be discovered by your partner, and if discovered about a 50% chance that it would precipitate the end of the relationship.


• Cheatee could probably coax/guilt the cheater into staying.


• Cheatee has a sympathy advantage in the event of the disolution of the relationship in terms of legal proceedings.
