If your partner strays, is it over?

I've been cheated on and I was hurt, but we stayed together for about 5 more years until later he was secretly seeing a girlfriend behind my back. I trusted him. I believe if you don't have trust you don't have a relationship. So I trusted and I discovered what a fool I was. So I ask you...if you have cheating drama going on, would you toss hom or her or not?

I am in a bit difficult situation very similiar to yours. I am still leaving my husband because he can never tell the truth even when I go bipolar on him. Nothing seems to phase him that the love has gone away.

I would give him or her a chance to explain, and observe his or her behavior later. So it depend on what he or she do.

My husband had never cheated on me. I trust him and he trusts me.

Keeping trust in relationship is good but if your partner make you feel more trust then remember there is some conspiracy going on behind you.

I have been in that situation before with an exhusband. We are now divorced. Like you said, if you don't have trust, how can your relationship possible survive? I did not trust him after that, even though he wanted me to take him back.

@YesWay I feel exactly the same way. I know there are some people who do take their husband's back, they go through counseling and turn out to be okay afterward. I'm not that kind of person. It is hard for me to trust to begin with and once that trust is broken, I'm done.

Even if my husband said he was sorry a thousand times and begged me to take him back, the answer would still be "no". Once the trust is gone, it's over as far as I'm concerned.

I'm afraid I couldn't forgive cheating. I would like to think I could forgive most things, but not that.

I certainly agree on the trust issue. I really doubt that I could stay with a man after he has cheated. It would depend on the circumstances. Probably not though.

Once is enough twice is too much they say. But for me, it's just once. My grandfather once told me that the foundation of a relationship is trust. Without it, there's no relationship at all. I can't handle a cheating partner.

Okay ! now you knew your partner have cheated you...what you do now? Carry on your relationship or kick out him from your life.

If the person is still with that girlfriend then get it a break. If the guy broke up with the girlfriend and wanted to make things right with you maybe you might want to consider. But please remember that its a gamble in giving a person a second chance. Unless you can see and feel that he is sorry for what happened then forgive and forget and never talked about what happened again. Move forward and be happy. If it doesn't work, then maybe you will be happy being single for a moment. The right person will come eventually.
