Infidelity

What factors would make infidelity more understandable to a man?

If a married man discovered that his wife had been unfaithful, what factors in the situation would make her actions more understandable? What conditions or events would make it more likely that he would forgive her for her betrayal?

For me there would be a number of things to consider. I think one would be whether it was a mistake like a one night stand after having been drinking and socializing, or something more serious involving regular meetings. If it was a one time thing, then I would want to know that she was safe and was protected, and at least was with a man she knew and not a random jerk who could hurt her. I would want her to come home okay and ready to talk. Another issue would be whether or not it meant she was unhappy with me or instead was just a harmless error. A big one would be how much I had to do with the whole thing. If I had neglected or mistreated her then of course I would have a large part of the responsibility for what happened. One major one would be whether she was honest. If she came forward and told me then that would go a long way toward fixing things, whereas if she kept it all hidden I would be very upset and of course I would also have been prevented from trying to make things right. Ideally of course none of this will ever matter because we have stayed strong as husband and wife and never betray each other this way.
