When it comes to infidelity, men are more forgiving than you might expect, according to a new online survey.

The survey, conducted by the site Survive Her Affair, polled 1,500 men who had been cheated on and found that more than 71 percent of the men still said they loved their wife after the affair.

What's more, 92 percent of the betrayed men said they either wanted to save their marriages, or they were unsure.

So how does that percentage stack up against findings from similar surveys? A more general 2012 survey by dating site OurTime.com showed that at least 42 percent of adults would be willing to work on a relationship with a sexually unfaithful partner.

We want to know what you think: Would you attempt to reconcile with your partner if they cheated on you -- or would you tell him or her to hit the road? Vote in the poll below, then weigh in with your thoughts in the comments.
