Would you consider a man "weak" if he forgave his girlfriend/wife for sleeping with another guy?

I don't think I would say "weak." Has she apologized and is she genuinely repentant? Or is it clear that she doesn't care about his feelings and will do it again? If the latter, I might consider him foolish, but I don't think wanting to hold onto a relationship with someone you love makes one weak.

@DunningKruger apologized/felt extremally guilty

@WendyLopez43 Then no, that isn't weak. Being willing to forgive someone who has hurt you takes a pretty serious level of strength.

@WendyLopez43 He might use that guilt to make the wife feel inferior and in the end be in the dominate position in the relationshipe
