Should a cheating spouse be forgiven?

Why and why not? I think there are reasons that can be given and cause one to forgive. For the most part in this crazy world. I would not forgive this kind of behavior in my relationships. I think people know what they are risking when they begin to remove the clothing from their body. I think they know what the chances are of getting caught and decide to hide it. But,if I find out I won't take one back. Not while there is no cures for some dangerous infections........Have a great day!

I'm glad you see that forgiving a person is for you and not the individual. This is the main reason why I am at peace with the people who have done me wrong because of the power of forgiveness! God bless

I think if done only once then yes. But more than that then no. I'll immediately file a divorce/annulment. There's gotta be something wrong with me or her or both of us if she keeps on cheating on me. For sure I love my wife but I really hate to be cheated and to be looked like a fool. So I'll set her free and let her do what she wants.

I feel the same way as you. Who wants to made a fool of right? If done one time than I will forgive but if it happens again, it is over because the more you forgive, the more its going to happen. That right there I know from experience unfortunately! God bless!

Well if you got kids you should not fight about it because they are the most affected if it ends in a divorce. I learned this in psychology. But if you don't have kids then might as well fight and divorce. How would a person get revenge from a cheating spouse, will that husband/wife get even by also cheating?

As the saying goes: "two wrongs doesn't make a right"

I agree. If someone cheated on me I could not forgive because they should know it is wrong and besides that...if this person supposedly liked or even loved me then how could they do that to me?
And if I was to....not exactly forgive but give another chance, knowing me I would be wondering the whole time if she was cheating on me. I wouldn't want that kind of stress all the time. Not healthy.

I think that can be forgiven, but knowing that after that, the relation is over. You can forgive but not forget, i think that if someone keep that anger inside, your life could be more stressful, and if you forgive that person you are going to feel "lighter" sentimentally.
