I only have one question. when mean, nasty and hurtful words are said in the heat of anger can they be overcome? can the woman get past those words and understand that they were said out of hurt and lashing out? therefore leading to forgiveness and a second chance. or are words permanent.....

I've answered this question of yours before. Again:

when mean, nasty and hurtful words are said in the heat of anger can they be overcome?

Yes. Have you never had someone say something mean to you when they were angry? Are you still dwelling on it?

can the woman get past those words and understand that they were said out of hurt and lashing out? therefore leading to forgiveness and a second chance.

Yes, yes, yes.

or are words permanent.....

No, they aren't always. It depends on the person, the situation, and what exactly was said.

You've posted about this three times. What answers are you looking for that you aren't getting?

Are you saying that you're in a verbally abusive relationship?

Why should you forgive him if he can't even control himself?

OK, she could forgive you for the words, but you are asking the wrong question.

Your question should be: Should I forgive my girlfriend for sleeping around? My answer would be no. You already seem so angry, I don't think you'll be able to forgive her or trust her.
