I don't think people cheat unless there are problems in the relationship to begin with. Whether or not I would forgive him would depend on what led to the cheating, how often it occured (was is one time, or a relationship), and how I found out about it. If my hubby confessed, I would be more likely to forgive than if I found out a different way

I would say "... unless there are problems with the person's character". Problems in a relationship, in my opinion, will always exist. That is no reason for betraying somebody.

I'm not really sure. It would be really hard and I would be very mad for a long time. Hopefully I never have to answer this question for real.

NO!!! If my husband thinks about doing it, he knows what is going to happen!!

I would lose all trust for him.
I would forgive him, but I'd leave him. I need to trust the person I love. I'd wish the best for him in his life and thank him for showing me I deserve more love.
Cause hate or anger is useless to me I don't like feeling those emotions.

What a tough question!
What kind of cheating is this? If its cheating beacause of having an affair with a third party, then its a no-no! then that spouse tends to hide the affair .... ah-ah its a foul. Coz in a relationship to be strong, the couple should have an open line communication, this is to resolve all the issues that they have and having an affair outside is out of the question and not a solution!
But if its cheating due to fling or peer / friend pressures, well I might forgive him as long as he didn't have done any unnecessary stuff beyond our marriage with that fling thing then ok I do forgive him...but if he thinks that his explanation and convincing power is enough for me to be convinced that he done nothing wrong...well he is wrong! I will do some further investigation and I might be-friend with "this fling thing" of him. My revenge isn't over yet!
