Would you take him/her back?

Would you take your significant other back if you found out he/she cheated on you? Would your opinion change if he/she came to you first before you found out on your own?

I can't say i would take him back.to be honest it depends on the circumstances..and what motivated the confession, and also how well i knew my spouse. because after finding out he cheated i would suspect anything he said or did....and quit frankly i dont think i could live that way.

I've been cheated on before, and I'm really not sure if I can go through a situation like this again. In my past experience, I gave the person a chance year after year to change his life. But it wasn't happening. I had wasted 12 years of my life hoping and hoping that he would change, but it never happened. Instead, his constant cheating on me piled up to different other problems that never seemed to end. It's miserable living with someone you can't trust. I would most probably prefer not to let this happen in my life again.

I dont know really..I mean I have in the past with my bf but there is more to the story than him messin around on me..He also knows though that this is his last chance to get it right...My husband on the otherhand, I think I would be absolutely FURIOUS with him and would have a very hard time forgiving him and taking him back but NOT because he slept with someone else...He's free to do that BUT he's suppose to tell me first and THATS what I'd have the issues with..

No. I made that mistake once with someone else. Not because I thought it was love, or because I 'knew' we'd be together forever. It was just a long distance relationship and I thought 'hey, accidents happen.' Then it happened again. I'm not making that same mistake twice. I don't care if he told me first, they still did it. If they were going to feel guilty, they should have done so before/during the fact, and controlled themselves. Afterwards it doesn't do me any good.

I've been cheated on by several ex's. If I ever found out I was cheated on with my current boyfriend or ANYONE else from this point forward, I would NOT take them back! There are plenty of other men out there, and I don't need a liar and a cheat to be my partner.

I have been with a guy that cheated on me and took him back, I was young and thought it was true love. I thought I would never be able to be a cheater. I was wrong. I jumped into a marriage for all the wrong reasons and I cheated. He continued to take me back and I realized that as long as I was with him I would be a cheater. 1.) He made it to easy & 2.) I was searching for something and he could not give it to me. It would be hard to trust a cheater and if they were late coming home from work one day the fight would probably be on. I found the love of my life and me cheating is not an option. I would do nothing to destroy the love I receive from this man. I told him he could cheat on me as long as I know in advance and have the option to join in, stay married to him, or leave. I truly hope though that he never does cheat because it would still be hard to accept.

I don't know if I would take back a significant other or not. I think I would have to find one first. But to me, if he was honest about his short-comings, I would be more likely to take him back. I have been hurt so many times by guys who were only interested in my money (even though I didn't have a lot of it).
