Speaking about unfaithfulness is a big thing in Chile. Being a male chauvinist country the subject of unfaithfulness has been an only masculine one for many years when it comes to acceptance and being free of guilt.
Nowadays - although I think that unfaithfulness will never be looked at positively - there's more room for a dialogue, to recognize that although being more discrete, women are not martyrs and often they need more that one man (or women) to be happy.
According to a study recently published by the Centro de Estudios Sociales y de Opinión Pública (Cesop) (Center of Social Studies and Public Opinion) of the Universidad Central women handle the reality of unfaithfulness better than men and are more astute in the moment of cheating, whereas men are either reluctant to recognize that they have been cheated on or they simply have not found out. This is the conclusion drawing from 48% of women stating that they have been cheated on by their partner unlike 28% of men who state the same thing.
The study also shows that 43% of women forgive a betrayal, whereas only 32% of men would forgive. Considering the fact that 22% of men and 12% of women would take revenge on their partner, one could draw the conclusion that Chilean women do handle unfaithfulness better than men, surviving so many years of chauvinism. Female wisdom.
