Is it possible to have a happy marriage after your husband/wife is cheating on you?

No and NO ..theres no building , you think it can be but that bond is never the same , if someone cheated in the marriage then , its a given they'll do it again and again , if they dont ever do it again , then the other person will not look at that person the same way ,...they have lost their innocence in a way , that glow or that something that once brought that person to marry them , now that this has happend ...he or she cant look at that person the exact same way

I don't see how it could work. Even if they decide to stay together, that is still going be lingering over their heads. Neither person is going to be able to forget it, and the trust will be ruined. The person who got cheated on will always be suspicious of the other partner.

I doubt. It's very hard because the trust is gone, and trust is the one thing which keeps a relationship healthy. If there's no trust, a lot of negative ideas and bad things might happen even if the husband/wife promises to change.

I think it is possible if there is true forgiveness and a true decision to not go that route anymore. Sometimes people get caught up in things that go farther than they intend for them to go and then they realize what they have done. Even though I do believe it is possible, I don't think it happens very much because most of the time there are so many issues that go into why the infidelity happens in the first place.

It all depends on the husband and wife if they want to make the marriage work after infidelity. It takes a lot of work and it takes a lot of rebuilding of trust, but it's possible.

Happy marriage after cheating? NO!!! If once cheated: it already shows that there is not something fine with the relationship. That partners do not respect each other enough, or something like this...And after cheating their relationship might become only harder to handle with...
