Will you still remain faithful even if your partner has betrayed you and become unfaithful? Will you still accept him/her?

I look at this question as a married woman with 2 kids. If my husband betray me and be unfaithful, i will let him go for sure. I have said that to him also. If he feels that i am not up to his intentions, he can happily find another one. But, for sure, i will not try to find another one in this life. I have my kids and i will look after them the best i can. Thats enough for me.

I dont think i will ever be able to forget. It would be too much for me. There will be no way that i can live with him after that the way i was earlier. If he wants me back and if he is sorry, i might take him back because my kids want a papa, but he has lost his space in my heart. "broken glasses never mend!"

Hello sherinek! Indeed broken glass never mend! But your decision to still accept your partner for the sake of the children is commendable. Yes I do agree about mending hurts is not that easy but at least we try to make things work for the better . God bless.

This is a very difficult question to answer, and a no less difficult problem to face. The basis of most relationships has to be trust. When the trust is gone from betrayal or unfaithfulness, it is something that is very hard to recover from. Once that trust is lost, it is a long and slow process of building it again and by no means a simple task, for some it's not even possible. Many people will go right out and be unfaithful in retaliation, trying to hurt the other person as they have been hurt. Others wouldn't even consider it, because they are just not wired to do that or they want to keep the higher "moral" ground. I have seen others repair relationships where betrayal and unfaithfulness were involved, but personally I have never been able to continue in one myself.

I have seen others who have rebuilt relationships effected in those ways but I couldn't in my own. When there are children involved though (and in most of the cases I've seen children have been involved) it is a different matter. There is more incentive to try work things out for the good of the children. In my own case there were not any kids involved, thankfully.

Hello filmbuff! Indeed a broken relation is hard to rebuild but you know why I post these because I've seen it happened in my family that is why I can still accept my wife even if she become unfaithful due to the reason that my grandma, aunt and my mother has given me the greatest example of true fidelity and trust even in midst of infidelity and unfaithfulness. They are the greatest inspiration in my life when it comes to preserving the sanctity of marriage. They have courageously face the odds in silence and prayer. God bless

Hello tigerdragon! I agree with you if she is still my girlfriend and become unfaithful well may be we are not right for each other and I have to move on. But if she is my wife I still would accept her and fight for her no matter what. For I believe in the sanctity of marriage despite the infidelity of the other marriage should still be preserve and worked out for the better. God bless.

being faithful or unfaithful to your husband or wife is a personal matter depending on the circumstances of the "deceiver" & the "deceived". Before any irrational decisions, I suggest to understand first the circumstances, to answer the question of what, why & how. Personally, I think that all marriages go thru this stage, whether at the beginning of the marriage, or after 10 years, even 20 years of being married. The stages is like a ladder that every obstacles should be faced by both parties, that if both can hurdle the situation, one goes to the next level of happiness. Therefore, one should weigh things. Both parties are involved, both parties are responsible for the situation so therefore if the "deceived" would still accept the husband/wife, both parties should be involved in the healing process. What Causes Affairs? There are many factors involved -The idea of "I have a right to be happy!" -Relaxed Divorce Law -Change in Life-Course Attitudes -Dual Career Families -Increase Longevity -Unresolved marital problems -Unrealistic Expectations -Monogamy Myth -Myths about Remaining "In Love" -Personal Issus -Insecurities of both the Deceiver & the Deceived What Might it Take for the Primary Relationship to Survive? -Do not Make any Quick Decisions -Working through Confusion -Mutual Responsibility -Re-Establishing Trust -Managing Anger -Therapy/ Seek Help/Mediation -Willingness to Reflect and be Introspective -Support System

I don't believe in cheating and I think it's sad that people will stoop as low as their partner and cheat too. It's sad and pathetic. You shouldn't lower your standards and your ethics especially when you haven't done anything wrong. You have morals, so stick by them. I won't cheat, I just refuse to do it because why does it really prove?
