dsd85 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 Can someone who has cheated in the past really change. Is the saying, "Once and cheater always a cheater" true? If a guy got away with verbal abuse and cheating in the past, will he most likely do it again, even if things seem to be going well?? what do you guys think? Can people change given the right circumstances and motivation? Link to post Share on other sites
Joe Normal Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Yes they can change but it is a long process and has to come from within. Best to wait until proof that someone has changed (i.e. 2-3 years+ without cheating or even being tempted), rather than to hope against hope that they will change overnight just because you want them to.

xpaperxcutx Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 By action, or in this case inaction. If a person truly regrets the past, they would change to make sure they don't make the same mistakes again. Again, only time can tell. Link to post Share on other sites

The problem with "forgiving" affairs or other crappy behaviour is that it sets a very bad precedent for the future. They basically "got away with it". Link to post Share on other sites
