Should I forgive my boyfriend that cheated 8 months ago?

Don't forgive him, being drunk is never a valid excuse.

Oh girl well I'm glad you decided it's over, hope you'll move on and forget him soon and find someone who will respect you.

I'm in a similar situation to yours. About a year ago, my boyfriend cheated on me with a girl that he had developed a crush on. He didn't tell me, but I could tell something was up, and I called him out on it about a week after it happened. At the time I was very much in love with him and decided to forgive him. He was sorry, but for the next few months, we were both upset because I still had anger and sadness about it and he couldn't stand how "guilty" I made him feel. Over the next year, things gradually improved and he is very much in love with me now. However, I still find myself dealing with huge trust issues and constantly question whether or not I made the right choice so long ago. I feel like after an entire year of being in this relationship since he cheated, I've been very happy and also very sad, and am finally beginning to see that even though I love him and wish I could let it go and move on, I can't.

My point is, you need to think long and hard about this. Think about little details in your relationship and if you can truly say that you 100% trust this man with your heart. If not, take your TIME to figure it out. Sometimes you need to decide that though you don't have to hate someone for what they've done to you, you deserve MORE.

To be real, he CHEATED on you and now that he's caught he feels skeptical....All I can say is follow your heart girl! If you want to give him another chance DO IT! I think that if you are don't give him your whole heart, make him pay for what he did like letting him know that you're not putting up with his mess anymore and if he's not honest from now on then you know....I can't tell you to leave him or stay with him...it's your decision and nobody else's.

If he cheated on you once, then I guess is the first chance he'd get if you forgave him. At least he told you himself and was man enough to push her away. Talk to him and tell him how you feel about it. And if he feels really sorry and regrets it then yes you should give him a chance.

Hi there,
I just want to clarify a couple of things. Was he on a break when he did this? Because these are two different things when a guy does that .. when you are still with him and when you guys have decided to go on a break.

I would say you need to trust your gut feeling. What is it telling you to do? Do you feel like you can trust him? because if your relationship doesn't have any trust left in it .. then it is pretty much already over.

Now if he was cheating and this happened while he was still dating you then I have believe the saying "once a cheater .. always a cheater" the truth of the matter is .. you should be able to let your boyfriend go out and get drunk and not be worried about another chick attempting to sleep with him.

Him being drunk and this chick pursuing him for months are just excuses. U really deserve to be with someone that you can really trust, so I'm dishing a little bit of tough love and saying that you need to probably ditch him and find someone better that you can trust..

If he was remorseful, he would have told you himself not your friend. No, don't give him a second chance. If you are on a break, for a week? You don't go home with a skank then not tell your girlfriend. I know it's hard, but do want a guy who would willingly want to hurt you and treat you this bad. He has no respect for you. As far as the being drunk thing, if it was that easy for him to be persuaded by a skank when he was drunk, then it will happen again. There are a lot of skanks out there. Stay strong.
