As the conversation around infidelity and forgiveness continued, another comment introduced a conditional angle: “They can forgive you, it depends on how you are to the man, if you have been supportive and kind, your good can cover your sin.”
This statement is questionable because it frames forgiveness as a moral ledger—where good behavior can offset betrayal. While kindness and support matter in relationships, infidelity is not a minor lapse that can simply be balanced out by past goodwill. Trust, once broken, does not automatically reset because of prior effort.
The comment also subtly shifts responsibility onto the woman, implying that forgiveness hinges on how well she performed her role before the betrayal. Forgiveness, when it occurs, is a personal choice shaped by boundaries, values, and healing—not a reward earned through past compliance.
