Forgive? Sure. Forgiving others is in my own self-interest after all. But... stay with them? I don't think so.

Who would even be dumb enough to cheat in the first place?
@DesuMaiden It's often people that hate themselves on a fundamental level and people that have no long-term planning abilities and don't think of the future but live in the moment. Alcohol usage, no life plans and in general just a very self-centred and inconsiderate type of person.

Even after enduring physical abuse and emotional abuse from my fiance for over a year I never once got the thought to cheat or even talk to someone sexually or flirt and anyone who made any advances was blocked immediately.

I think some people are just not built with the same mental strength and emotional intelligence as others. Even if you give one person one opportunity and they succeed, turn their lives around and become a fundamentally better person, if you gave another person that same opportunity it does not mean they will succeed or have it be a positive thing.

Sometimes I guess it's better to just let sleeping dogs lie and to learn that you can't force a horse to drink, because if you don't you will fundamentally destroy yourself in the process if the other party is broken and not capable of giving you an equal relationship.

I did... The bad thing is you forgive them and they think they can do it again... And trust takes a long time to gain but a instance of a second can break it forever...

Depends with who, if my assumed girlfriend:
  • cheated with another guy, I would probably feel offended and disappointed for a while, but if she feels sorry, then I might forgive her eventually, unless she got pregnant.

  • cheated with another girl, I would be so incredibly turned on, that I would not only forgive her in an instant, but also encourage her to do it again whenever possible.
@Zarutaku Hell yeah man, his dude gets it lol. You'd encourage to do it together tho, corrected it for you.

OT: It depends on the situation and the type of relationship you have. If you got cheated in your 20-30 year old marriage, it's not easy to straight up break up with your partner. There is a lot to process in these kinds of situations. I've seen these instances in my family, it's not as easy as you think.

I'm not alpha enough to suggest that, but I certainly hope that she would want me to join some of her adventures.

No

But I would like to say that is it not "weakness" to forgive a cheater, many times (im not saying always ofc) it is the weakness of the cheated partner and his/her fear of being alone the ones that force them to forgive.

Also, it is the most wise decision, you can forgive the affair but they already lied to you.

The foolish idealism is too strong in here, but at least there are a few pragmatic takes, to my very surprise MissHeed has one of them (for once)
