Could a relationship ever go back to normal if the couple made up after one of them cheats?

@bijouxbroussard Well said Bijoux.

@SW-User right,betrayal,,,,it was over as soon as she cheated,,,,but I got last laugh,this time I've been married 10 years,together 12,,,,,

@ChiChi93 It depends on the partner. Some will let a cheater back in and try moving on as if it never happened. Most will end it, as they should. That's why I'm saying once the trust is broken, it's never the same.
Once trust is lost in a relationship, it can't ever be fully recovered.

@SW-User that's a story we like to tell but i'm not so sure it reflects reality.

@CoffeeFirst every relationship is different,,,,i'm glad you'rs worked out,

@Newandimproved Must hurt, I'm sorry.

@ChiChi93 doesn't hurt now...well not much

@daveal Hard won happiness, very hard.

@CoffeeFirst maybe more realistic happiness?

@daveal I would say eyes wide open happiness. Divorce is still an option, if we are not getting our needs met with one another. Meanwhile, we confront the hard stuff every single day because we know the rewards will come.

@HannibalAteMeOut Wow, they're definitely a minority. But good for them I guess. Heartbreak from cheating is the worst.

@ChiChi93 I was totally calling her the worst names when she forgave him lol but after a while I couldn't believe in my own eyes! It's like he was a completely different person! Must be one in a billion, though.
