Yes, I may do that but we go on separate ways.I have to move on with my life without him/her.Forgetting what she/he had done I guess is very hard to do.Anyway we can still find someone who is more deserving than he/her.

Once I've lost my trust on someone it's really hard to gain it back.Yes I may have forgiven her and we're back to each other again but you can not blame me if I am always on guard if she really mean what she had promise.So the best is she go her way, I go mine.You have to move on my friend.Yes I know you love him so much but he didn't value that you deserve someone better and believe me he is just waiting.

its good that you would forgive her^^ you are a great guy. i guess you are right, to go on separate ways would be the best decision. would be really hard to trust someone that cheated you once. its better to find someone that deserves us and our love. move on, would be the best. thanks for your opinion. im happy that you could move on. there are people that just cant move on. like me. it just hurts me to think that i lost the one i love so much.

Forgiving is one of the greatest gift one has got from god usually its very hard to forgive and very easy to say that forgive that person. so probably asking to frogive without any explanation is not worth I will give you an example of my own life with my girlfriend she talks freindly with everyone the thing is that her freinds are behind her for love and this is tourcering me a lot. I mean she is commited to me and doesnt ignore tge persons but talks to them inspite of everything I fear that I may lose my girlfriend but I have made my mind I will just forgive her on this issue if she really loves me she will be back to me. So concluding I guess just try and forgive your partner god knows u could be tested so make maximum good deeds of your life and give more importance to god.

im sorry for it but maybe she is just friendly. it doesnt mean that she will cheat on you. anyway you said you will wait that she comes back to you? does this mean that she left you? she isnt with you anymore? anyway i wish that things be ok with her again^^ you love her so you deserve to be with her. is hard to find good guys and you are one of them. you must be happy^^ thanks for share your story with me^^ and sure we can forgive but not easily.

if i really love the guy, it would hurt bad. it would take me a while to forgive but i guess i'd have a hard time forgetting. so it's best that we don't get back together. as much as i love a person, cheating is a no-no. aside from broken trust, i feel that the act itself is thoughtless, cruel and shows no respect to the partner and the relationship. i don't deserve any of that. i believe that if a relationship is in need of spicing up a bit, to keep the fire burning, the two parties can make it work if they try hard enough (talk about it and be open to each other and communicate). but if ever one party resorted to cheating... then he/she should look for love elsewhere too. because no relationship can exist happily while enveloped in a lie, tied by a broken trust and crumbling respect. have a great mylotting day!

yes myles^^ you are right. no one deserves to be cheated on. its like you say, if something is wrong we should talk with our love than just cheat. we should look for someone too. to forgive that, its really needed a big big love and a great personality. its just not everyone that can forgive this. im not sure if i could just let it go. i think i could bcs when i love a guy, i really love. but sure the trust wouldnt be the same no more.

It 's happened and I did forgive and stay with the guy but ya know...it's never the same. The trust is broken and you can never go back to that amazing feeling that you had before all that tainted your relationship. In the end you just destroy it anyway so I would just leave any man that cheated on me on the spot...done and over. I'm sure I could forgive but I would never be with him again

i understand. it wasnt the same anymore. im sorry that your relation went wrong anyway its good that you would forgive him. thats great. we shouldnt keep bad feelings. but im happy you would find someone else. if someone cheats on you, its not possible to forget that. things should be over. about me i think i could also forgive like you did, but if he cheated me again i wouldnt be with him again. im happy you are not with that guy any longer.

Hello sweetie, In my scenario, i don't think i can forgive the woman so easily. i don't know, some how i have learned to realize that i have become too much narrow minded.besides, am not much of a christian anymore, it's hard to give trust to some one and then betrays you later on. now, i don't mind if people are selfish or scared simply because there are a lot of opportunist or criminals out there. becareful sweetie

you are right ry. if this happens to you, dont forgive her so easily. if we love, we cant forgive right away. we get much hurt. being cheated on is like the worst thing ever. i wasnt exactly cheated but you know what happened. i felt just crushed. i dont want this to happen to you also. if a girl cheats on you, just forget about her. if we love someone truly we wont look to someone else. im a girl and i know that when i like a guy, i dont want any other. if there is a big love, you wont cheat. so dont forgive a cheating. that will be always a shadow in your relation if you forgive. bcs even you can forgive, you wont forget it. be careful too

I would absolutely not forgive or forget. I think for me that cheating is one thing that is just a big no-no. I cannot stand the idea of bringing someone back in my life who clearly did not want me. Even when people say that "it was just a one time mistake", I just cannot forgive this kind of thing.

yes. its really hard to forgive someone that cheated on you. they say one time thing but many people cheat more than once. i think that if someone cheats its because doesnt love the other that much. i wont judge no one bcs we never know what we can do, but one thing i can say. if you love someone so much you cant even look to others. its like others are invisible. if we love someone we cant afford to lose him. so cheat for me means there is no true love.

I think that it would depend on the circumstances if he promised he wasn't going to do it again and never did do it again I think if my love for him was that strong I would take him back but he would be on a short leash for along while,at least until the trust was back in place.I hope this helps you and have a great day.

I understand my grandmother always told me it was the other women of the world I had to becareful of because they could cause your man to go astray. I never quite understood it until I experienced it then I understood what she meant.I have a big heart and love my man very much and once was all it took for him to realize I was a forgiving person.I guess that takes all the fun out of wanting to cheat if you are forgiven once for it.I wish you well my friend and hope that you have a great day.

I will forgive her if she shows signs of remorse and also accept the facts that she has hurt me. I think the entire world we are living is built on love and forgiveness. Jesus christ thought in the holy bible to forgive one another. There is one popular part of our lords prayer that says "forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who tresspass against us" So one must learn to give one another this is because it is one of the basic tenets of live. Don't you think you could hurt your lover someday without you planning for it and it will now be his turn to pay you back in your own coins if you fail to forgive him.

cheat? is n ot in my dictionary, and every girl who would like to cheat on me..... they are not here with me any more, i dont like liars, and i sated since the very first time i meet any girl, i think every chater most not be trust again, nobody deserves a second chance, according to me be a loyal person is the most important thing for me, and never take them back in your life again, who is doing the first time cheat, will have the second time cheatting on you.

thanks for your advice^^ i think that forgive someone that cheated on you, is like being waiting that it happens again. is really hard to believe that he wont cheat again. but at the same time, if you love someone so much, to lose him is much more scary trust me. im more or less in this situation, and to lose him is like a nightmare. im losing him and there is nothing i can do to stop him. its even worse than being cheated. to know you are losing the person forever.

If you really love him, why not? If he really loves you, then better.I've seen a lot of this kind of relationship still work out in the end. We are only people meant to do wrong sometimes. It's hard to forgive and forget , it will be a long process but if both of you will do the same effort, the pain will definitely heal in time.

I do not know if I would forgive infidelity. I thought that if once again forgive infidelity can be repeated.But sometimes love can be so much greater that you may forgive.Many became confused.Have a nice day!

I dont think so I would be able to forgive the person who has cheated on me. After putting all that trust and love for that one person and one day you realise that he/she has let you down it destroys you and accepting that person back is an absolute NO NO. How can you spend time again with that person who has cheated on you even though he/she says that they have changed. Its hard to believe and accept them back again. In my case I would never let them back and just move on in life..

i understand your way of thinking^^ i agree that maybe it would be better to move on. the trust on that person wouldnt be the same anymore. is hard to trust someone that just been with someone else while was with you. move on, would help you to feel better. and for sure would make you be happier. if a relation is haunted with cheating, is likely to fail later on. the trust wont be the same anymore even if you forgive it.

I wouldn't be able to forget about it, which would cause a lot of animosity. If you "love" someone, you shouldn't have to go out and sleep with other people. I think I would just have to try my best to move on and away from that person.

i understand you. i dont think we could ever forget something like cheating. we will always remember that. about forgive i think we also can but forget that isnt possible. i think that trust in someone that cheated on you before must be really hard. its like he could do that again right? you would do the right thing by looking for someone else. we deserve happiness and to be with someone that respects us truly. and not a cheater.

Oh,thanks for posting a creepy discussion! In my case i will forgive the person because were humans and not perfect. For as long as he will do his best to please me and try to correct what he did. And i have an experience on this and the person gave me second chance and it's all worth it because I'm a better person now! I know where to stand and to give myself a break. Girl, just take it easy! And make the person suffer first! Don't talk to him for a couple of weeks and see what he's trying to imply. Is he making things for you to patch up or making things worst! Try to communicate to GOD, ask for his guidance. For sure everything will went well.. :)

im happy the guy could forgive you ^^ im sure you are a better person now. everyone makes mistakes thats true. dont let this guy go ever. its hard to forgive something like that. he forgave you, so it means he really loves you a lot. you are right, i shouldnt talk with him for awhile. the problem is that i truly love him and a girl near him, is his gf now. so im afraid if i despise him too much, that he forgets me. thats what im afraid of.

That's crazy! So he has a new girlfriend already?i thought it's just a minor offense just like a one night stand and he left the girl already! That's really hard, you should talk to your lover and explain to him that you're hurt and he needs to choose between you and her. He's a crap!

Hi sweet love forever: I think it's har because all of the emotional charges but for my own sake I think I won't do it. If she is really sorry maybe we can become friends but she has to give me a time for me and also for her to be sure about her feelings and what I represent to her. I couldn't act like if nothing has happened. Our relationship would be broken because there wouldn't be any trust on each other and that's really sorry. If there's a chance to re build a relationship like this, it will take time. ALVARO

If ever my lover would cheat on me, I forgive him. If God can forgive us from all our sins, I believe so can us. I may be able to forgive him but I can never forget the pain he has caused me. And for that, it will always be hard to bring back the relationship we have had. Better move on that stick to someone you know who is capable of hurting you so bad. **Sorry for the late response. Was not so active these past few months. Hope your doing good with the job hunting. :)

I used to think that I'd be able to dump a guy if he ever cheated on me. But the love I have for my boyfriend is so incredibly strong that I don't think I could ever break up with him. Even though I'd be hurt, it would be nowhere near as painful as letting him go. It might be a little different though if he cheated on me with someone he had feelings for. It would take a while for me to trust him again.

We've talked about this all of the time, because we're very open and honest with each other. We can make jokes about these kinds of things. We have considered the fact that sometimes, people might be missing something in their relationship and need to find it elsewhere. I think it would be better to be in an open relationship and to be honest about it, rather than sneak around. But it's just so unnecessary. I think, if two people are just not right for each other, and they have kids, they should do everything they could to keep the relationship together and everyone as happy as possible, even if it means some kind of a crazy arrangement. But if I were just being deceived, no, no, no, I would not accept that. I have too much dignity. Sometimes love isn't enough, and that kind of a thing is just not okay for a relationship.

im happy you talk with him in a very open way^^ well about find it somewhere else, i think that if you truly love someone you wont cheat on him. i think that we should always be honest with the one that we love. anyway you are right. if someone wants to be with other people too, its better to be in an open relation than cheat on someone that really loves you. i couldnt be in an open thing bcs its just not me. but i dont judge who does that. but cheat on someone that just loves you, thats too mean.
