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

I don't think so.

No, because if the trust has been broken once it can never be fully repaired

@SW-User They didn't care about how their s/o felt in the first place, why would they care suddenly after being confronted?

@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.
