would you be friends with someone that cheated on you?

Honestly I think that when a relationship is over you need to keep a distance at least for some time. Just the time will be able to heal. Of course you still have feelings for him but just remember that what he did was not right and keeping him close is going to hurt your feelings more and more. You deserve more than that and you should demonstrate him that you are not dying without him and that you more dignity than he really thinks. Sometimes we reach more with this attitude. My advise, if you want to keep him as a friend wait. Keep your distance for a while and when you feel strong enough to keep a friendship with him without getting hurt go ahead.

I don't think I would have the courage to be even friends with someone who has really hurt my feelings. I may be able to be friends with someone who has cheated on me but that will be when the pain has already healed. I may be able to forgive him for what he has done, but being friends will happen at the right time. It would be hard to force yourself to move on and not think about the new one for you were after all the one being cheated on. I just don't have the strength to face someone after all the pain.

it depends on the personality some people I would rather avoid and cut communications fast they are not only cheaters, they are tricksters fast thinker and smart mouth, be very careful with these people they don't only cheat on you, they manipulate you but there are cheaters who are just that, cheaters they don't manipulate you, they just can't settle with 1 these ones, I may be able to stay friends, just won't trust them anymore

Hello, Yes it hard to carry on relations in this situation. But all relations depend on time. When our time is favourable than we have good relations and when it is not favourable our relations distured. I Suggest you in this situation nutral relation. If you think he/she is not a friend ok, but do treat them as enemy.

You are absolutely right, it is hard to have a healthy friendship with someone who cheated before. But I think I can be friendly with them, not just for friendship, it can be a friendship for a chance, when I can give the price for it. (In fact I don't want to do it or I will not), but I am telling, if we faced such a situation from someone, we need to do - eye to eye, ear to ear. It is what we need to follow to survive otherwise they will 'use' us or they feel we are fools. So, it is better to have a chance to do it and maintain the friendship, till we get a chance!! Thank-s

It's difficult if not impossible to accept betrayal. Even if you sit well with self-esteem in those moments you can not feel comfortable. Infidelity comes also from the inside, is a sign that something is going very well although apparently can not achieve asta.Poate forgive and overlook. But do not forget. And how forgiveness without forgetting is equal to zero ...

I don't think that friendships like this can work out if one person still has feelings for the other. It will just hurt too much because the other person will move on to other relationships and it will hurt the person who still cares to see that. There was a time when I liked this guy and he said that he wanted to stay friends. I attempted to but it didn't feel like a real friendship. It was fine with him because he didn't have feelings for me, but I still had them for him. I just ended up discontinuing any contact with him. If I were you I wouldn't want to be friends with this guy. You said that he seems like a genuine guy despite what he did to you, but I think those are just the feelings you have for him talking. A genuine person wouldn't cheat. If he didn't like you he would have just left the relationship or broken up with you before he went with this other girl. That, to me, makes him disingenuous. I wouldn't be able to trust someone like that, and trust is very important in any relationship. If it hurts you to be friends with this guy then I don't think the friendship can work out, and it's not good for you. I'm not saying don't talk to him. Maybe you can be closer and better friends after you are over him and what he did to you. But for right now I don't think it's a good idea.

Hi sweet love forever: I don't think this could be a good idea simply because if he has cheated on you, that means that he doesn't care for your feelings. How can you have a friendship with someone that simply didn't care for how you feel. I don't advice you to this or your heart will be broken again. ALVARO

I had the similar experience in my life.My gal cheated on me.But still I loved her and just because we became lovers after being friends,I decided to be as friends though my heart was painful because of her.She moved on with another guy.I tried to be as a friend,but my expectations were never satisfied.I controlled myself to expect very little.Yet it seemed she was a long way from me.She did not have the same thing as before.Our friendship had widened and there was loads of gaps.She hurt me more.Being as a friend with her after being cheated was like stabbing again and again the already bleeding heart.At last I decided to leave her.It still hurts that I lost not only my lover but also my friend.But it pains a lot much lesser.

Hello beautiful miss, i'll have to disagree with you in that sweetloveforever, may be because of the tradition where i came from or may be it's just who i am, for me when i love story end up with failure, it's hard to replace it with friendship thing, lol. You'll always love him right, so that's why it's something that forbids you to be just his " friend " if you know what i mean, besides let's suppose his girl friend knows about you & how you want to stay as a " friend " with him, won't that make couple of trouble to him. I suppose at the end it all depends on how we see it, for me i can't stand seeing the person i loved with someone else & try to " befriend " her/him.It will be like a hardcore tease, lol. For me the feeling of love can't be eased or replaced by any other kind of relationships.

i don't know i'm a nice person so i guess i would but people that do that don't want to be friends cause they are to guilty

I would not be able to maintain even friendship with the person that hurt me cause every time I see that person memories flash back no matter how much you try to forget it. And in turn it upsets you. So it would be better to part ways for got rather. Also after giving so much of trust for that person and he/she betrays you whats life. no meaning at all. My opinion is to part ways..

yes i have an experience with my girl friend in 10th standard,let me explain she was the best friend of mine and i was the best friend of her, till the last day in that school she said an word i remember it until now 4 years later she said "you boys are easily forget every thing but girls can't", that was the first lie i hear from her, not only she forgot me but also she ignore me when she sees me

heyyy....dont be so sad .u both just need some time ..but show any attitude in front of him if he wants to talk then be just friends and give him his tym to think...i think there is a lack of understanding among u guyss.. so tyr to resolve that...at d end you know him better its ur life go 4 d best

Maybe, maybe not. I don't know. Truthfully, this is an issue that has never really come up for me. I do know someone though that became pretty good friends with not only her ex-boyfriend who cheated on her but also with the woman he cheated on her with

Its very difficult to be friends once you are in love with a person. It hurts a lot when the person you love has found somebody to make him/her happy and inturn he/she shows nothing. Now coming to become friends I would also like to share my experience which iam having in my relationship my GF and i have lot of family problems and i think i could not continue with her i love her a lot but her family members are finding someone to her. She can't go against her family only she can give explanation to her family also her past relationship X BF is coming back regretting in this depressed situation. Iam finding a way out sometimes i think that i should just leave and start a new life. But my heart is not listening i just want to see her happy with whatever decision she takes if i have to be friends with her.. I will accept that as God's plan. So It Think you should probably be friends with him. Because at least in you heart you will be proud that you have forgived someone. And you are learning yourself to control from attitude and anger.

No way, i can't be friends again with someone who cheated on me.A broken trust is a trust broken.Nothing can make it good as its original form.I'm sorry but I am no saint. Even between friends, trust is important too. I can't imagine how I can feel comfortable with a friend who I know is good in lying? I cant still talk to him, like say hi or hello.But that is the best that i can do.At least we are not enemies. But telling him of what's happening in my life or letting him tell his story is just a waste of my time for I know I can find friends who are trustworthy.

Hi dear, These days I don't prefer to company with me any more. Cheating is the worst and I cannot tolerate such people in any sense, especially if it get repeated for several times. May be it is in terms of love, finance or any kind of affair, once cheated, I never prefer such people close to me. Thank-s

No, I would never make any friendship with anyone who has cheated me.

Honestly, I can't be friendly with someone who hurts me. It's just I don't know how to deal with them again. I can't even force myself to like someone whom I doesn't even want to. I'm friendly but I do easily hurt and I can't easily forget those things that is done with me.
