Is cheating a deal breaker for you?

I am 97% sure that my bf slept with someone else on Saturday. My friends are telling me to leave him, but I don't necessarily feel the same way. I want to talk about it and try to fix it. Thoughts?

I used to think that I would be mature enough and if the love was strong/real enough that I'd be able to work through and repair such a situation...however, when it actually happened to me my thoughts and feelings on the subject changed. I tried to forgive and work it out, I wanted to save the relationship/marriage...she continued to lie & cheat and made a complete fool of me. So from that time on, yes, cheating is a deal breaker (regardless of how long we are together).

It’s not something you repair. It’s always there. You know what a person is capable of and you’re never secure with them again. The purity of the relationship is gone and the level of respect plummets. @indyjoe
