If your spouse cheated on you, could you stay with her ?? ur gf or bf cheating on u, still u can manage as still there is lot to come in the life... but what if u get married today and ur partner is cheating on u... will u let ur relation go as it is going or there will be a break in between forever.
If asked me that what I will do, then, I will try to find out why this has happened, either will live in same house but n different beds. Will enjouy my life with someone who is faithful.. !

I am a firm believer in "Once a cheater, Always a cheater" and u shouldn't be in a relationship if u wanna be with someone else. Good luck :o)

I agree too. Perhaps because I am not a martyr type of person. If one truly loves his/her partner, there is no space for infidelity.

If my spouse were to cheat on me, there won't be a second chance for him. Be it i'm married or just in a relationship, there's way i can accept him again. When he really loves me, he should not be fooling around, even if it's a moment of folly. He should respect me and he should have self control. If his excuse is that i'm not around to keep an eye on him, all the more he should reflect on himself as he's supposed to be independent.

Well it's hard to say since i am not married and i haven't been cheated on explicitly in that manner. If i were to say now, i would soooo get a divorce because once is enough for me. You know what they say, you do it once, you will want to do it again. Of course it isn't entirely true, but being unfaithful is really a very intolerable behaviour even in a marriage where you were suppose to go through everything for better or for worse. But how far should you go on the 'worse' part? Are you suppose to condone such behaviour because you took that vow? I don't know. If it was just a boyfriend who cheated on me, i'd just dump him and get over such a pathetic guy, but for my husband to do that, that's like too much.

I would be very disillusioned if my spouse cheated on me. I would be discouraged, hurt and even insulted by it. I would even try to place some of the guilt and shame for this on myself. i would think that I had done something to bring the cheating on. I would still love my spouse. Forgiveness would have to come with time. forgetting about it would be another story.

No I won't stay with him and feel broken hearted forever. Life is short and maybe he just not meant for me, otherwise if he was then he would not have done so and he would not compare me to another girl because I surely will always do my best when I'm a wife of someone. But I hope this will never happen in my marriage as I do really love my partner.

I guess I'll do the same. I can forgive him and live life the way it used to be, though it would change. I can't find happiness living with a man that I don't trust anymore. More over, it would make me so miserable wondering why he has to cheat on me. Maybe I'm not enough for him but I believe there would be someone who would love me wholly without asking for more than I am. I am willing to waste half of my life with him but not the whole of it. ^_^

I know that it happened once in a lifetime so i prefer to be with him and telling him if this happen again for the third means it is really not good for us to be in one roof. But if he is really not intended to do and he was just accidentally done it well its forgiven still. Because i know if am in his situation vice versa the same thing will happen too. so for peace we need to forgive each other.

I don't think I could stay with someone that cheated. It's rough enough being with someone that's been married before! Haha. I just have been cheated on so many times over the years by every boyfriend that I've had. It's gotten to the point that I'm done with making excuses for them. So, if my current boyfriend cheated I'd be out of there so fast. They would have to make a new word for fast! Lol

It depends on the severity and reason. Temptation as well as mistakes are always there for us to commit and no one is perfectly able to avoid it. If it happened once, try to find the cause. Don't let emotion triumph over will. Commmunicate and try to resolve if possible. Sometimes, we don't know that we are the one boost him/her to be on it. Analyze what went wrong. There's always a reason for what is happening and a solution for it.

It's hard to make a decision when love is involved. We tend to make unwise choices. I personally don't know how I will handle the said situation. It's different when we are already in that position. I may have an ideal plan or reaction when that happens but it's easier said than done. Marriage is different from a boyfriend-girlfriend relationship. It involves deeper emotions, much deeper relationship not just between the couple but also with both of their families, a legal duty, and so on.. The situation becomes more complicated when there are children involved. I've experienced being cheated years ago, I broke up with him after we had a serious conversation. He didn't want to but I did. I believe that trust when broken is hard to mend, though it's not impossible. It's difficult to be in a relationship when there's still a part of you that doubts. It would be a torture. But it would be a different story, I guess, if I'm married. Decisions will be much tougher, there's so many things I need to consider. I hope I won't experience that. =)

well this is my opinion:
people made mistake, just be honest to your self and be fair. what if you were in he/she position - the one who do the cheating. maybe he/she did because of what we've done not all, maybe part. And i know, even we made mistake doesn't mean our spouse can cheats us.
But if we can make it up and through it just go on because i think life is not only about how to handle a cheats. we got something else to do related with our life, people around us especially if we got children. if we still comfort with our cheat spouse and can forgive him/her...well why not.
just remember..people made mistake and people change...:-)

I'm not going to stay to him if he cheated on me. Like what i told to my bf "do what you want any thing you want but never ever fool me" i hate lier if he cheat me then fine leave and never come back again. I will go find the faithful one and enjoy my life with him. Same as married i will file a divorce..

cheating is to your spouse ,if someone get tempted and he or she entice ,it will be out of track in relationship and its not helpful in family attitude, but there is forgiveness you can forgive you spouse and focus in the right track ,we can over come temptation if God is our center in our family.

I've been there done that and it ended badly...I suspected him cheating but let it go and 5 years later-he got someone pregnant. Sometimes you just can't work it out..once a cheater-always a cheater.

Cheating is viewed differently by different people and that is the same for those who actually do the cheating. Most of the time, cheating occurs by us following our natural instincts and taking things further with someone that we are attracted to. In most circumstances that is all it is and the person is very sorry afterwards. They never meant to be unfaithful and they never meant or wanted to hurt you. It was something that just happened and they will do their best to never do so again. In these circumstances it is likely that the person will be faithful again. The cheating spouse did not go out of their way to hurt you and find a one night stand, it just happened and they regret it.

I have been in this circumstance once too many times in my life and am at a point where as I cannot forgive a cheater ever again. Maybe new lovers should not be penalized for my past lovers mistake but it is quite painful and I have to love me first.
So for a person to say they love me and cheat well it does not make sense to me. I would respect a man who would come to me and say he has fallen for someone else and or the relationship is no longer working rather than cheating. See both ways are painful but one would be easier to forgive/forget as opposed to being cheated on. Some people try to work through circumstances however, a strain in the relationship remains in my opinion.

fortunately i have not been in such situation...but if i think then its very hard seeing your loved once cheating on you...and end up in a broken relation.
one would try to find out why this happened but its not easy to believe your partner after this.
it is not easy to forgive him or her after knowing all this..

There are times in life that we encounter temptations leading to cheating. And the greatest challenge is how to face or outstrip those. The only weapon I can only think about to combat temptations is the "unconditional love". But, would you believe that what makes a relationship stronger it to experience and surpass those? As they say, through those, you'll be able to learn more about your relationship - the mistakes and misunderstanding. You'll mature on how to decide and handle things. Now, if you caught your partner cheating on you, try to know the truth and weigh things. If you still can patch things up, then do it. But if you think that your relationship is over, then leave him. Don't stress yourself too much to a person who doesn't deserve your love. Have your own life and be happy.

If my spouse cheats on me, first we will talk it out. I wanna know what is the reason he/she cheated on me. Then I will give him another chance for our relationship to work out. Then if ever she/he committed the same mistake again then it's time to say goodbye. One mistake is enough for me. I gave him/her a chance so she/he must hold on to that chance. And never repeat the same mistake again.
