Cheat = Forgiveness ?

If they were to cheat on me that would mean they don't truly love me, even if they THINK they did, they can't have loved me to have done such a horrible thing. I would not forgive a cheat. It's the worst possible thing you could do in a relationship.

i can forgive him, but not readily. it may take a while. as long as you still feel the hurt caused by his cheating, it would be hard to forgive him easily. accepting him back again is a different matter. the hurt and wounds may heal, but it may leave a scar. so depends on how hurt i was because of his cheating... if extremely hurt, i cannot accept him back. if my love for him is greater than the hurt that he has caused, i would probably accept him back... however, trust would be down to zero level. he has to build up the trust that he has broken before i could completely love him back once more.

My concept of this issue is simple - I cannot run my partner's life as he has the right to live it as he or she wants and that is he can choose to be with anyone that he truly wants to be with - I understand that and I respect it. However, I think if anyone who is in a relationship is attracted to someone else must first end the existing relationship - so, if my partner cheats on me, I would understand BUT would not forgive or forget, it is simply not ethical and if he is mand enough to sleep around he should also be man enough to respect me and break up with me before doing that - this is just my opinion.

I agree with you to some extent. If it is my boyfriend and he cheated on me, i can forgive him but i don't think the relationship will still work because everytime i'll look at him i'll always remember what he did. But if it will be my husband in the future (crossing my fingers that it will not happen), i'll fight for my marriage and hold on, probably untill i can truly admit to myself that we have no change anymore.

same here... i can forgive the one i love who cheated but it takes time for me to forget....forgiving includes forgetting what he have done to you....but i'll do the same thing i will not accept him anymore... i told my bf that once he cheated on me there will be no second chance... maybe even if we're already married....i think i will not be able to accept him anymore... but biblically....it says we should know how to forgive so that the Father in heaven will also forgive us in our sins.....

I think if he cheats on me, i will still forgive him. because i know that somehow, i had faults too on why he will do that. I really want to make our marriage last so, i will forgive him.

i think everybody deserve a 2nd chance, i can forgive my lover and i even take him back becoz he promise not to do it again,so after i see how sincere he is and prove the promise i dont mind.its not easy bcoz sometimes 1 mistake he make can make us suspicious everytime
