Cheating ex-girlfriend: Once a cheater always a cheater?

Hi there Deadlier! Yes, A person can change. A cheater can change into a faithful and loyal partner depending upon the events that will come to his or her life that will change the person's outlook in life.

I really do not think so. If they have in the past what will keep them from doing it again? Could you ever really trust them again? If they think that way once then it is a part of their make up and why would you want that sort in your life?

Actually there is never a clear cut answer to this type of question. A person's behavior always depends on how he thinks. If he is willing to change his attitude, a cheater will change in time. But if he is not willing to change his attitude, no matter what we do to make him realize his mistakes, he will never change. Generally, I have observed some people who likes to cheat. I have never seen a person who had changed his behavior over time. I only know they become worse and a cleverer cheater through experience. But it is never impossible to change a cheater's behavior. What's important is, the person himself must be determined enough to change. Where there is a will, there will always be a way.

I don't really believe hat "once a cheater always a cheater" because the person MAY be able to change for the better, we must give them credit for that. I think it is more of once a cheater, there may BE a tendency to cheat AGAIN when temptation is strong. My cousin cheated on his wife and pursued an affair with a girl who already lived in a different country. A few months after their fights, my cousin in law met a tragic accident that took the life of a friend and almost took her life too. This was a wake up call for my cousin and from then on worked at their marriage. For me, why wait that someone gets hurt physically? It really depends from one person to another in how to handle this situation.

I think it is not true most of the times, a cheater can be as faithful as not when one really focus on the relationship. A person can cheat once or twice when they don't give value to their relationship. IN a way too, the statement 'once a cheater always a cheater' is somewhat true because people who committed cheating before most likely are the types who don't value their relationship. so there would still come a time that they would cheat again. The possibility of cheating again is higher to those who had committed it before.

I dated a guy a few years back that cheated with a co worker. After alot of crying and fighting for some dumb reason I decided to not leave him thinking that he would keep his promise and not do it again. I as wrong...In my expirence cheaters remain cheaters but that is just my opinion. Everyone is different I guess it boils down to why they cheat.

it is said so. i think in most cases it turns out like that.also there are exceptions. may be the person changes
