Have you forgiven a spouse for cheating?

Hiee Rebecca look on.. before i tell you Make up one thing for sure that "Forgiveness is the key to every relationships" its really hard to forgive people what they have done. and it hurts lots to us too when they dont try to understand all these stuff literrally we have to leave a painful life. but rebecca you have to make a choice.. thinking about the past and not forgiving is not a solution.. even i have had certain similar situations but really forgetting things has helped me a lot. Yes it is really very difficult but you have to make up your mind jus think about forgivness and pray to God.. thats all you can do the best.. all the best

Yes my answer is yes because we are just human and everybody commit sins. We are in the world of material things and there are lots of evils things around us which makes us tempted. Temptations is our no.1 enemy in this world which always with us anywhere we go left and right and in every corner. So if my husband commit sins like he cheated me its fine and okay for me to forgive him. As long as I know he still love me and i feel i love him i will do everything for sacrifices. And i know if he caught me cheated also he can do the same as i did. For sure he will forgive me too. Because when we really love a person we can easily forgive them. All out of love.

HI, I don't think I can forgive my spouse for cheating on me,of course, I will give him time to give an explanation for me on why he is doing it. If there is a reason for him to do it,then I may consider whether I have to forgive him or not. But the chances of getting back together is slim. Especially if he has another woman outside, I don't think I can accept him anymore as my life partner. I am not willing to share my man with another woman,be it,what excuses he gave me, I will separate from him. Marriage need mutual trust from both parties,if one party already lost trust to her partner,then there is no point to carry on this relationship.

Hello dear, I know it must have been very difficult for u to forgive and carry on. even I went through the same situation about eleven years back. But at tht time I was pregnant and for the sake of my coming child I had decided to stay on. In the beginning it was very difficult. I am a Hindu and every day I would sit in the temple and cry before god to give me courage. But that period has passed and slowly and slowly that scar had started fading. Now seeing my child so attached with his father, I feel proud that I took the right decision. I do not know about yr situation. Naturally everyone's circumstances are different. But my feeling is if u hv decided to stay, then it will take time, but slowly and slowly u will start feeling relieved and one day everything will be normal.

it's hard to forget, but we have to forgive :) u can't move on without forgiveness :) let time heal the wounds.

You're already doing better than I would. I don't think I could ever forgive my husband if he cheated on me and I have told him as much. I know that if it did happen, I would never be able to forget and I would rather not be with him than be reminded of it every time I looked at him. You've made a big decision by staying with him and I know it's going to be hard to keep the relationship together. Hopefully time will ease the pain and he won't hurt you again.

I will never tell anyone to leave their spouse when I am asked. What I normally say is I was married and way, way too young with all the blessings my church gave me and although am young now I wasted a full 20 years hoping and wishing for changes. All I can say is 20 years will never come back and I will never go back. I suppose I did forgive but was never able to forget and as long as I did not forget that in itself is an issue, there will never be trust again. So now I live by, I will never cheat, so I expect my partner not too and if he does I will not waste a minute any longer. I do wish you well and hope you can simply do what is right for you, and not be influenced by what others say you should and or should not do. All I wish is that you remember how were the 17 years and do you want to be in this situation 17 more years from now? I wish you well and happiness..

I never forgave, I have a trusting problem that I would never be able too. You know you have a very good heart, forgiving I think it's the most honorable action a human can take. I can forgive other things, not this. I'm sorry for these pictures in your mind... It's exactly because of those that I wouldn't try getting back together. Dear is it really worthed? Be good to your self. If you have the picture, if it still hurts you, aren't you suffering? God bless you. I'm sure people who forgive are good people. You don't deserve this.

hello there rebecca! im not married yet, but if for instance it will happen to me (but i hope it will not) i will take the considerations of asking two questions to myself. first question, can i still take the fact of the situation that he cheated on me and remain with him? second question, do i still love this man? if both of them, i answered YES, then i still need to be still. not just the fact that the years i have been with him but the foundation we already built and the love that i still have for him. if the first question i answered no, then domino effect, i will help myself not to feel love towards him. because, how can i love him if im no longer staying with him. it will only burden me with every days gone by without him. so, if you are in the edge of this cliff hanging situation, just asked these two questions within you. and have the courage and honesty in answering both of these questions. and at the end of it, feel no regret for in your life you are loving to stay in any difficult times and hardships of your relationship. :)
