Ignorant Bliss or Bitter Truth

Recently I was reading an article in a magazine, in which various people were talkin abt how their partners cheated on them and accepted it. However, after the acceptance, things became difficult for both the partners to handle it. The defalulted partner accepted it out of guilt and thought if they confess it their relnship would work out in a positive way. But somehow, things started working in the opposite direction for them. Their relnship started deteorating and many of them called their relation quits. Few of them continued their relnship but the things were not the same between them. All the stories listed in that article ended up badly and all of them regretted letting their partner know about their little secret. Infact, I was surprised to read that many of them were sad that why their partner accepted the truth, they were happy not knowing it and as long as they are not aware of the fact it doesnt matter to them, whether their partner slept with others or not! I would like to know, what you would want, bitter truth that your partner cheated on you or not or you would too like to live in the ignorant bliss! Accn to you what would be outcome of your relnship if you come to know that your partner cheated on you!?

Good discussion, Sagar, Truth is truth. You have to accept it whether it is sweet, bitter or shocking. When someone is ready to commit his/her mistake, he/she should also be ready to accept it's end result. One needs to be very strong to speak truth. It requires immense power to say and listen to it. I personally believe that when someone is accepting his/her mistake, the other person should take it in much positive and mature way. Feeling of being cheat comes when your partner is hiding something from you and you came to know about the truth from other sources and you find it real. But, your partner is telling you the truth, you must take it positively. It shows that your partner wants to be truthful and don't want to hurt you. Well, it's all about maturity from both end. And strength of relationship is measured in such type of situations only.
