Definitely forgive and move on. Someone cheating on you isn't your problem, it's theirs, so forgive them for their behavior and move on to greener grass!

I agree its not easy and it takes time. Doesn't the other person have to rebuild trust? I think so, which is why I would ultimately leave.

I think it does take time to rebuild trust. I think I would forgive the first time... but not forget. I would not bring it up but I would keep certain walls up to enable time to heal and see if it happens again. If it is a pattern.... I would be on the next train out.

Well nopes never
What is the proof that upon forgiving the person wont repeat the same thing again
And taking risks with your emotions on stake that aint happening

No forgiveness if someone cheats on you. Having affairs, or even kissing another person is wrong in my book.
Be committed to your partners people.

I think that it might be a deal breaker for me. I was cheated on when I was younger and my ex begged forgiveness. After a year things finally started to get back to normal for us and he cheated again. And then proceeded to put me thru 4 months of hell after that. I don't think that I would be able to trust my husband again if he cheated.

I have forgiven, I have moved on. But forgotten, that is pretty hard to do.

Forgetting is difficult, especially since trust is broken, and if you have to see him (like when there's children or business).

I might forgive, if she is willing to give us another chance. I couldn't forget. We would have to work on why she cheated.

I would likely forgive, but neither of the other two, assuming that I really loved the person.
On the other hand, I feel that forgetting it altogether is a very unwise choice, because whether or not they are sorry for their actions, it is good to keep in mind a precedent when making certain choices.

Having personally been through this more than once, I can truthfully say that I can forgive and go on with my life, but not with the one that cheated on me. Forgetting is impossible, however. Trusting the cheater again is impossible as well, no matter how much you want to.

I feel as you do that I am not completely loved if I am cheated on.

it depends. cheating is not ok, ever. some people can forgive and stay together, some cant. i dont think you can ever forget though, no matter what
