If someone you loved cheated on you, could you forgive them or would there be no path of redemption?
Caracody · 61-69, F
I sincerely doubt that I could get over that.
moonie · 26-30, F
i forgave once, won’t make that mistake again
AbbeyRhode · F
I could forgive, but could no longer be with that person. Trust would be gone, and without trust, there is no relationship.

@AbbeyRhode I know that special person you love has been a closest cheater, he does watch Liverpool sometimes 🤪
AbbeyRhode · F
@nedkelly It's OK, he only watches to laugh at them. ☺️
nedkelly · 61-69, M
@AbbeyRhode he is a decent person
I wouldn't be able to trust them, and once trust is gone, the relationship won't work. I have three rules: Don't hit me. Don't lie to me. Don't cheat on me. If any of those are broken, I'm gone.

I forgave my ex but it gave him the reason to do it over and over again. So, it’s better to cut it off and move on. Once a cheater will always be a cheater.

It was my fault. I didn’t control my PTSD and just let it eat as I slipped into the agony of losing both of my parents 3 months apart . I didn’t even realize he had left until his Secretary called me and told me to pull my head out ! That wake up call definitely shook me up and I went and took him away from the pretty blonde he shacking up with . I was very lucky that he loved me enough to give me a second chance. Had I lost him I have no idea what I would have done . I hold no grudge against him for “ cheating “. I let him down and drove him away. It took years for me to get him to forgive himself. He is everything for me and I know I am for him . I won’t be messing this up again, you can bank on that 😉!

idk. on one hand, i understand people are who they are and do what they want, and on the other hand, so do i... and i probably would just naturally go my own way. it would really depend on whether there were still mutual interest in spending time together. all i know is, i don't really feel interest when it's not reciprocated. totally kills it for me, so... idk

First I would file for divorce, if I were married, then I would move out or kick them out, and then over a period of decades I would work on trying to forgive them. At least, that's what I did, twice.
They would be dead to me.

Cheaters have always been the destruction of a relationship with me. Even my 15-year marriage ended because the ex was cheating on me for at least 9 or 10 of those years. We actually get along better as friends now then we ever did when we was married but there could never be another me and her. The pain went way too deep. After all of this I have come to the assumption that people are right when they say... "Once a cheater, always a cheater". I wish I could see it differently but I just can't.
i would forgive them, but how could i think they might do it again? it would be hard to earn back the trust.

I’ve tried to forgive a cheater, it didn’t work the trust just never came back.
Mardrae · F
Absolutely no path of redemption if it was someone I was married to, or in a serious relationship with.
Iwillwait · M
Probably not.
I would not allow myself to even consider them as alive.

I could never forgive something like that it be impossible for me.
CookieCrumbs · F
Maybe give them a second chance depending on how I feel about the situation.
But one thing I learned: People don’t change.

She would be out the door asap
Teslin · M
No path. It would always be in the back of my mind that it could happen again.
Stillwaiting · M
I tried .. considering how she's acted since, I should have just walked away then. It happens again and I'm gone.
Lilymoon · F
I might..... but a second time would be the end.

Depends how truthful they are, when you know they are lying, just give up.
They don’t change.

Well, you put it in the right category, betrayal.
So, no

BeJeweled · 61-69, F
Nope, they would be out of my life forever
ImRileyTheDog · 22-25, F
I don’t think I could tbh but depends on who I’m with and for how long, what we have been through
olderuncle944 · 70-79, M
i did for years then decided i might as well have fun too
uncalled4 · 56-60, M
That's a tough one. My first instinct is to say no, but I can't be 100% sure. To think about it is one thing, to FEEL it happen to you is another.
BeachBum · F
Nope.
Just Leave 😎

exexec · 70-79, C

LunarOrbit · 56-60, M
Physically cheated?
They already made that choice for me
See ya!

It depends on what else is wrong with the relationship.
I can work through just an affair, but, cheating is usually indicative of other things that are wrong - and I refuse to try to work through another abusive relationship after I get out of this one.

Forgive
Miram · 31-35, F
It seems like I have forgiven them.
I forgive most people despite my extreme anger. I don't really hold unto grudges for long unless it is about child abuse.

I think about how it mostly goes for someone to cheat and figure it's not just something that "happens".... it takes time for a partner to keep seeing someone else to get to know them and finally do the deed. So, trust was broken when he didn't walk away from a situation before it became more.
To forgive is one thing. To forget is another.
I'm not sure how easy it would be to trust again.
From my own experience.... he fit the ideal of "once a cheater, always a cheater".
