If your husband/wife is cheating you will you forgiven and given a second chance? Honestly i do not think I could forgive, and it's not about my ego. When somebody swear your love is not how to swear duplicity too at the same time .

I would not give anyone a second chance if they cheated on me. There is just no excuse for such disloyalty! In fact I have been there had that done to me and got rid of the cheater...Besides how can you find the one who is meant for you when a loser like that by your side??

I know that many people say; all deserve second chance, but in this case, i am sure that i can t forgive and forget; you can imagine, you let your life in somebody hands, can give all what you have, and he or she go with other person too; for me is impossible to forgive

Yes but you have to think about this, can you really change to fit better within the need of relationship? should you change? If the only way the relationship is goin to make it is if you become a completely fake and unreal version of youself, then are you going to feel that they love you uncondintionally? You want to be loved for who you are, Changes should be in your best interest too;)

People err sometimes. Even for this type of mistake, I think you still should forgive them, give them the chance to change. But if they do that again, don't hesitate to take any actions necessary, divorce them, leave them, whatever. As the old adage says, fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

you should ask it to yourself, as you expect that someone will forgive you, you should also give him a chance, it's good, if he repeat his mistake, then he should be punished, but yes you have to forgive for once

Cheating is a cardinal sin to me married or not.If two people are in a so called monogamous relationship, the two parties should specify that. If it a casual thing that should be put out there too.So here's one for ya...try having to live with not only did my husband cheat ,BUT it was with another man! Try that one on for size ...it sure doesn't do a thing for self-esteem!

I don't know I've never been in a situation with my boyfriend. I think it will be hard for me to trust him or forgive him if he will do that to me.

My ex cheated on me with my brother. It really hurt, but I tried to get over it, I just couldn't. We have 2 kids together, and it really hurts cuz I really miss them, all 3 of them. But it was even harder living with her after what she did.

Yeah I'll forgive but I won't give a second chance. I've been married and cheated before and gave a second chance. Huge mistake so I'll never do that again. Soon as I found out there would be divorce papers signed or his luggage out on the lawn.

I have been cheated by my boyfriend but i have given him one more chance because i love him and if you love some one you can at least give your partner one chance so that he/she should think how much we love them.

This has happened to me and I did get very angry and threw him out. Then after a few months we got back together after he swore how sorry he was and how he would never do it again. Never say never. He cheated again and that was it for me. This is why I believe once a cheater always a cheater. He was again gone and gone for good. He is now living all alone and sick. All alone because he just couldn't be faithful to one woman. I just think there are two different types of men. One that loves and respects his wife and the relationship and the other who doesn't and thinks he can do what he wants with whomever he wants.

it depends with how close and intimate you are with who ever cheated you. but in real life situations it takes more to forgive than its thought. you have to make them realise they wronged you and then move on.

I am a firm believer in forgiveness and second chances, The trust might take a little longer to get back, but i think it's worth the effort to try.

I think you should be loyal to yourself feeling. If you want to give the other a chance , just do it.

It would all depend on why the other person had cheated aswell as who they cheated with.If a person was not getting any bedroom action then i could understand why they had gone some where else for that.I also think that if it was someone that neither of them knew it would be better than doing it with a person that they both knew.I think there would be not trust left though as there would always be doubts in the persons head if they would do it again.

Hmmm... that is really hard. i think I can forgive him but I dont think I could still trust him. Because i believe once a cheater always a cheater or most probably he will cheat again. Forgiving and Trusting are two different things. I forgiving doesn't always mean trusting and giving another chance.
