If your spouse confesses to cheating, would you forgive them?

Nope she could have him

I did, but it took a lot of time to get to a place of forgiveness. I still am not sure I made the right choice.

Been there, done that, big mistake. Once trust is shattered, the relationship is over.

Yes but I would ask her to tell me all about it in detail.

I did but i shouldnt have. He just did it again.

It would depend on whether he was was in love with his mistress and she felt the same.
I'd give them my blessing to start a new life together.
It'd be the easiest way I could finally get free.

However, my husband has never been sexually attractive to other women.
He's had plenty of women friends, and still has a few whom I like very much. They all always friend-zoned him.

These days, at almost 80, he shows no sexual interest, except perhaps watching some beautiful and talented character in a film or TV series.
It's a relief from the years of jutting skinny bones, bad breath, forgetfulness and clumsiness.

I do love him despite all that. He's been my best friend for over 40 years.

Its happened. I did forgive her. So she did it over and over again thinking it was easy to get away with.

There is nothing for them to be forgiven for, they did what they did.

Nothing is going to change that.
Nothing is going to stop them from doing it again.



I'll forgive myself for loving such a person and move on and get away from them.

I couldn’t and that is why I am divorced

At poker or darts?

Forgive, yes. Forget, no.
It would end our relationship, but not our friendship.

yes if it was only sexual and not emotional

I have forgiven TWO cheating ex-spouses. Forgiving them does NOT mean staying married to them.

No. One time...goodbye. Cheating isn't only a sign of character it's a sign of a poor relationship. And who would want that?

IDK, I'd have to actually be in the situation to know.

I don’t know. I’d have to hear the circumstances.

Forgiven.
What else one can do in such matters.

I believe most everything can be forgiven once.

Nope. I'd rather be alone.

Nope.

Depends.

I don't think mine ever really forgave but she learned to live with it, especially when I gave her full details of the dirty thoughts the other girl sometimes has. I think honest communication is important.

No, he knows how important fidelity is to me. If i can't give him everything that he needs and he feels like he's missing something i would urge him to just move on and go find it.

I could never be in love with someone I did not trust. If he violated that, I would never forgive him.

Very likely to forgive. There would have to be other reasons on top of that. Like theft.

I don't think cheating is very important.

I would reshuffle the cards

Supposedly already did.. it’s iffy

There's nothing to forgive

Yes i did the first time

Dubtful

Yes

Yes

No

No.

I always forgive. Forgiving (for me) isn't about the other person really. It's about my own sanity and piece of mind. That didn't mean I'll take them back

Nope!

Hell to the nah, nah, nahhh.

Yes, I will forgive them and wish them well as we go our separate ways.

My life is too short to hold on to anger and resentment

Oh sure, why wouldn't I?
