Depends on a lot of factors. Sometimes people cheat when they're young and immature. Hopefully none of us are the same as we were like back in highschool. If we are then we aren't living life correctly. You have to grow and change.

Change is possible, but patterns don’t just break on their own. The pain they caused doesn’t just vanish. Even if they grow, the person they hurt has to carry the weight of what was done. So yes, change is possible but the damage often lingers long after.

I don't believe people change though there are exceptions. As an aside, I'm sorry you're going through this.

I’ve learned that nobody ever really changes. They may soften their rough edges, but generally people are always the same. I used to think I could fix people that I really liked that had some issues that would normally be dealbreaker. But I’ve learned it’s best just to take a pass. This goes for cheating or any other thing that one would think of has a dealbreaker in a relationship. Cheaters are best left to be honest about it and find an open relationship.

Anyone who does something even one time will always be that as they cannot undo the past.

They can however not ever do it again but once someone has done something, such as a cheater they will always be one and yet that does not mean they will ever cheat again...much like how someone who is a thief, murderer or rapist they will always be that even if they never ever do it again.

People don't stop being something because they don't do it again in the future.

That need not define people for the rest of their lives. As people can change and never repeat their mistakes and learn from them and should.

As for me, I can forgive a cheater but that does not mean we are picking up where things left off or he gets another chance...it's over and I hope he learns to never do it again.

Anyone can change, but I don't blame someone for not wanting to give a second chance to someone who cheated.

It depends on the reason for cheating in my opinion. If they cheated to be with the person they really wanted to be with and left their original SO, I believe it is possible to change.

I know cheaters who have changed, have found forgiveness from their spouse, and who worked really hard with their spouse and marriage counsellors to reshape their marriages.

And I know at least one cheater who did not change and ended up divorced.

I know for a fact some people can change.

They can change probably, it would take a bit of work is my guess.

If that is your cleavage I find it hard to believe any man would cheat on you.

I think that cheating is a result of deep selfishness. Selfish people aren't prone to changing for the better because they don't see anything wrong with how they are. The people who take them back fuel this delusion because they erase the only thing that could possibly make a cheater change which is the consequences of their actions. Cheaters only change when they face the negative consequences of cheating. This means that the best chance a cheater has to change is to stop dating until they confront the psychological issues that have led to this self and community destructive behaviour.

I changed

As long as a cheater knows that they can get away with it they will keep cheating. If you can give them a reason not to cheat on you, as in ask them what is the thrill of cheating? If you can provide that thrill then you might be able to convince them not to cheat.

Both men and women can and do cheat in a relationship.

It takes getting caught to really make them change. There has to be some negativity to counter the fun, but who wants to continue to be with a cheater, you can never really recover from that.

I think people can change. People cheat for different reasons.

Not necessarily every situation and point in ones life is different.

I wouldn't give a second chance to find out

If the relationship is solid, there would be no cheating. If you think the relationship is solid and you still get cheated on, then you're with a chronic cheater. So, yes, it's likely they will cheat again.

You're going to have to be more specific. Is the question for both sexes?
Are married porn stars - like Ryan Madison and his wife - cheating when they make movies with others?

Is the heart involved or just the bodies?

A polygamous person will remain polygamous. It's only their partner to blame for choosing the person.

If they really wanted to maybe

Yes. It’s part of whom they are.

My ex cheated more times than i could count

Can, but usually don't

Sure they can change. But doing it once is sure a high level of trust betrayed even if they do.

I'm a cheater. Always looking for something new and better. It's the American Way!

Have you ever cheated

I wouldn't say always but odds are they won't change

They will always be that way. They can change but at the base its what they are.

Some change. But, most of them won’t.

Yes they will always cheat!

Yep a leopard dont change his spots

fool me once.. shame on you.

fool me twice, shame on me!.

it is called cheating if you get caught,

Once a cheater, always a cheater.

They usually change when they get older, fat, broke and have 3 kids by different baby daddies.
