Would you forgive a cheating partner?

I am lucky that has never happened to me either.

One can move on from that resentment; it just takes a lot of work. Plus, the cheating partner has to make major changes. One of my best friends was cheated on, and she stayed married initially because they had little children. However, he went to therapy, and she began to see a world of change in him. Slowly, as she saw his true regret for his actions, she forgave him. They’ve been married twenty years now, and are more in love than ever. However, I think you are right in that most people really do keep that resentment. It can take over and ruin one’s life. I have never had a partner cheat. If I did, I would eventually forgive him, but I probably wouldn’t still be with him when I accomplished that.

It will be a big NO for me.

I agree, you will never forget a betrayal. I am also lucky it never happened to me.

@Karusa It has happened to me. My last boyfriend or whatever you want to call him, he was seeing at least over 10 other women behind my back. I stupidly gave him another chance only for him to continue doing the same thing behind my back the whole time. He is pathetic. He will never learn. As for the question, I'd like to think that not all cheaters remain cheaters. I believe some actually learn from their mistakes and suffer the correct consequences to better themselves.

Luckily it has never happened to me either, and I have been faithful as well throughout our marriage. I don't think I could forgive it. My dad was a horrible philanderer and it broke my parents marriage ultimately. He regrets some of it now. I never forgave even him for what he did to my mom and our family, and never will. My wife did tell me once she'd let me have "one." But I am not taking the chance. I am sure it's a trap. lol
