Can people really change?


Recommended Posts

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?

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.

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.

I think that people can reform themselves if they choose to do it with a NEW PARTNER.

 

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".
