I've been cheated on.

My WW cheated on me when we were first dating 24 years ago.
I justified her cheating as you did.
I blamed my lack of commitment on it.
I blamed that she was on vacation on it.
I didn't really say to myself....well, I have got a cheater for a girl.

I forgave her, but I lacked trust for a while.

Years later, we got engaged, and she had a druken ONS during that engagement. Again, I blamed myself for many reasons, not her.

I forgave again and moved on...at that point we had so much time invested.

Fast forward another 12 years....this time ..... she had a six month affair.

Before this, I never really believed 'once a cheater, always a cheater', but unfortunatly, now I do.
Not because of my experience, but of many books I have read and research since this last affair.

If someone cheats early in the relationship.....it is very, very likely that it will happen again over the next 40 years!

I can assure you, the next time will make this seem like a walk in the park.

Did you ever cheat on her?
