it is true that many a times you need to do things which you really dont want ot just fro the happiness of ones family.its true that for family,if your cheats you are forgiving him.however i would rather adopt a different way.i would definately forgive my hubby once or twice at max if he cheats me.after that there will be no other thoughts coming in my mind.since i also have life. i will never want my child to grow up seeing that his father is cheating us .sacrificing is good at times but alwaysa.

Yes I can see if it happened once or twice in a span of years. Twice very slim chance though. If it was habitual and he was unrepentant of his actions, then no it is not necessary to sacrifice your happiness for the sake of the family. There is no reason a man should look elsewhere for comfort if he is being treated well at home. I am assuming since you would make that sacrifice that you love your husband very much, but if he doesn't appreciate that and goes elsewhere, then he doesn't deserve your love.

Sometimes too you'll have to assert what is right and show your true feelings. Sacrifice can be good but it should not allow you to be abused because your husband takes that as your weakness then it is not working for you anymore. Stand up and be courageous enough to shine.

I don't agree with this statement at all. There is no way I would be able to stay with my husband if he cheated on me. It would actually be better for my kids if we decided to part ways at that point. I would be so angry and hurt that my kids would pick up on that. Nope, there are certain sacfices that would be more harmful. For me, this is one of them.

Yes, I agree with you.Specially if you do have kids and really admire and respect their dad.Im still single but if that happen to me, ill do the sacrifice for my kids. If he is cheating then its up to him, but be responsible to the kids. For me, I know that he is already at the right age and he can think correctly, so ill do the same sacrifice for my kids and family.
