Would you or have you ever forgiven a cheating partner?

Cheating is one of the ultimate personal betrayals. Over time you can forgive but it's something you can never forget. It becomes part of who you are and how you form relationships in the future. Overtime things become easier and the betrayal goes to the back of your mind. If someone cheats I think there is something fundamentally wrong in the relationship. Some relationships can be repaired but it will take time and work from both parties. If either person cannot get past the cheat the relationship is not meant to be. As hard as it may be, it might be better to move on.

I have forgiven him and decided to stay. The reason can be that I always believe in second chance and if they are remorseful enough to not doing it again, why not give it another shot?

If they do again after being forgiven then it's their loss.

 

Th only problem now is there is this person I can't stop thinking about. I want to get him out of my mind but can't.

Haven't been cheated on (to my knowledge). I definitely wouldn't overlook or forgive it - the relationship would be over and if legally possible I'd take a slow and painful revenge on my ex.

If you've done so in the past, did the relationship change?

Well, there's a question! It very much depends on the circumstances, there are too many factors to take into consideration and it's almost impossible to answer. It depends on each individual situation. Who would have thought for example that Toni Moore would forgive John Terry only weeks after the devastating news of his infidelity...or look at Tess Daly and Vernon Kay..she wants to work through it. I'd be interested in everyone's views on this so please have a look at my blog and tell me what you think.

I forgave my EX husband at some point, probably after the divorce, and I began to heal which took awhile. I forgave, but didn't stay married.

my boyfriend cheated on me over a year ago and he begged for my forgiveness and i took him back.

 

i told him i forgave him and i still tell myself that but it really doesn't feel like i've let go. it hangs over my head and weighs on my mind as i process every action he makes.
