i ask this question not because my husband did something foolish. there are a lot of people going on divorces everyday. and according to a certain survey, out of 10 people who marry at the same year, 3 would probably get a divorce with in a year or two. and we don't know what would happen with the rest of that 7. maybe they would get a divorce too after a couple of years... so, why do couples now easily get a divorce with their partners when they say they would stay together forever? what actions do they usually do that makes their relationship ends up? and even if you are not married and just going out with someone... why do you leave your partner easily? what things cannot you forgive and ends up you being alone?

I will probably never forgive my exhusband. He was my highschool crush.. we ended up getting married at the begining of 2002 and had our first child. In 2004 i had our son. 2 months later he left me and the 2 kids... i had no job, and he didn't pay the bills. Then his mom (who we were renting from) kicked me and the kids out of our house. come to find out he was cheating and then he moved in the the woman. it's a very long story about what happened after that. but cheating is one thing that i can't forgive.

I agree with you. My husband can do anything and I think we could work through it. But if he cheats it means he no longer loves me and there is no way to work through that.

I don't think i will ever beable to totally forgive my exhusband. I got married young, and had children young to. But that's not the reason why i can't forgive him. We had a daughter together, and when she was 2 years old, i had a baby boy. when our son turned 2 months old (our daughter was 2 years old), my husband (at the time) walked out and left me and his two kids. I had no job, and nothing in the house, the bills weren't paid. We were renting from his mother, so i thought she would be nicer to us then what she was. She turned around 1/2 a week after my husband (her son) left us, she kicked me and the kids out of our home. The power and other utilities got cut off by the end ot the week. I just don't understand why his mother would kick me and the kids out knowing that we had nowhere else to go at that time. Come to find out, my husband was seeing someone else. He moved in with his new girlfriend, like 2 weeks after he left me and the kids. I filed for divorce... (he's no longer with the girl that he left me for, he's living with another woman - they just had a baby). My divorce has taken along time... it's started in 2004. He's now trying to get custody of the kids. The way i see it, is he didn't care about his kids when he left us, and when he was screwing some hoe, so why should he get them now?

Behavior of my spouse that I could never forgive would be if he abandon his kids and being unfaithful to me.

Being violent. I don't want a mate with a violent nature and has a loud mouth like a megaphone. Grrrr!

Besides cheating on me or trying to kill or harm a member of my family, I think that I could forgive my partner for almost anything else (unless he turned completely evil and tried killing/harming random people).

There really is no right or wrong answer to this question. Every person is defferent and something you can stand someone else may not. I remember when I was single I would always say, I will never be divorced, I can be widowed but not divorced, because if he hit me my Dad will kill him and if he cheated on me I will kill him. Now tha I am married, I have different views on the subject. I still do believe that, if a person and their spouse got married for the right reasons initially then everything is workable. Money problems, cheating, any conflicts are workable. The only thing that I would leave my husband for is if he were to strike me. If he hit me I would be gone fast as a flash of lightening.

i have been with my husband for 8 years now married for 2. we are a young couple(23)ofcourse there have been times where we both were unfaithful. we both have forgiven and forgot, we both agreed that what we did was wrong there was some sour feelings there but I love my husband and he loves me and i think that if you really love someone you can forgive them for their mistakes within reason ofcourse now stealing money is a different story, but i think since me and my husband had our fun and got it out of our system when we started dating that there wont be anymore problems.

I would never forgive cheating, hitting, or being abusive. I know I am worth more then that, and if my husband started doing that, I would walk out of here and never look back

I would say the one behavior from my spouse that I am never gonna forgive is that of telling lies and hdding things from me... I just want that she should tell me everything that she does and whether that is good or bad.. and is she fails to do that and I get to know of that fact earlier then she tells me... then she is really in a trouble.

when a person falls out of love from me. i guess that is the thing i won't be able to forgive about him. i want to be the first person to fall out of love with my partner, if possible.

Honesty is very important to me. So, I can't bear the idea of my spouse lying to me. I'd rather he didn't say anything than lie. And I'm not talking about white lies to keep me happy about small issues. I'm talking about big stuff like how our money is being spent, why he does what he does..etc.

The only reasons for which i'd leave my hubby are if he'd be cheating on me or if he'd be violent with me. I find those unacceptable and nobody should endure that.

lovers - the kiss
I think its adultery and lying.For me it one of the things thats hard to forgive and get over with.Trust is reall hard to put back and if u dont trust each other,it will never work out.

I would have to say abuse, of any sort. Verbal, emotional or physical I would kick him out faster then anything. I'll deal wtih a lot, I'm more then willing to meet people half way with things. Talking can do a lot of good in a releationship and being honest with each other about things that irritate us goes a long way. I may be easy going but I am not a dormat. I saw enoug abuse growing up without adding to it with a husband. It is one thing I won't tolerate and would cause me to get a divorce.

i'm not married yet, but i guess it's not difficult to know what behaviour is unforgivable. the same thing that we don't like our friends or family to do to us, lying, betrayal, cheating, .....

The one behaviour I could NEVER forgive is cheating. Sorry but that is the icing on the cake for me. I want someone to marry me who is always going to be faithful, in mind and in body...and if that person cannot commit that to me, then out the door they go.
