Can cheaters learn from their mistakes? Do you know anyone who learned from their mistake and did not cheat again?

I believe a person who cheats can feel remorseful , and regret their infidelity

However, I'd never enter into a relationship with a guy who'd cheated on an ex, and I'd never stay with a guy who'd cheated on me. People cheat because they have no self-control over their desires and emotions. So they will always have the potential to cheat , because whenever they feel vulnerable,
opportunity will always control their loyalty.

Cheating has nothing to do love , or with a person's situation or circumstances. They cheat because they lack willpower, and self-control. A person's character determines if they'll cheat , not if they are unhappy or unsatisfied in a relationship

Cheating is a betrayal of trust, and once trust is broken it can never be rebuilt or regained. You can never get back the same level of trust as you had before.

Loyalty is paramount , so I'd never place my trust in someone who has already given me one good reason why they can't be trusted

I think cheating is mostly nothing else that you actually miss something in your relationship.

Other case is, when the man (usually men cheat, sry) can't give up the feeling for the hunt n chase. My experience with this is, that type of men married early and left out the fun of chase, dating around lot of women in their early 20s.
One of this sign is, when my friend told me "there are so many beautiful women". you wouldn't care much about other women if you're happy with your wife.

To answer your question: yes, they can learn. but will they? not in the near future as long as they enjoy it and the woman forgives them always.

What she said!

For some, I feel that cheating is due to insecurity, a lack of communication in making things work with their initial partner or a loss for love. Cheaters are able to change their ways when they truly sit down and discuss the root of why they strayed and if both people from the initial relationship care to make things work and are actually still in love, a relationship can presume. But for some, once a cheater is caught, they usually learn to be more stealthy in their approach to cheating. It's sad, as I know of a few stories of those that don't know how to leave a cheater and have been cheated on a several times.

I cheated on my past boyfriend when we were teenagers. We broke up. I've never cheated since.

Thanks!!

[Dude55]

Up until I was about to turn 28 id cheated on every girlfriend i ever had, i was having an affair with a married colleague and got caught by my then girlfriend and it ended the relationship.. I learned from my mistake to not stay in an unhappy relationship and to not go sneaking around and I've never cheated since.

[Asker]

Thats great and something i wanted to know !!

[JimRSmith]

Good question.

I think it's certainly possible, but it's not what I've observed amongst people who cheat. I'd never thought about this before, but they've all been serial cheaters.

Obviously, the one off kind also exist. Perhaps they're just better at concealing it. It would make logical sense.

[samhradh_leannan]

They can, it’s possible. But it depends on the individual person, and their situation. Did they regret their choice to cheat? Why did they cheat in the first place? Do they have the self awareness and control to avoid doing it again? Are they motivated to stop? Some people cheat because they get caught up in something without really meaning to, and make a stupid mistake that they regret horribly. These cheaters can most likely learn their lesson, if they want to. Other people cheat because they actually don’t care about the people they hurt, or they think they are exempt from the rules of honesty and basic human decency. For some, cheating is almost like a compulsion or addiction. They probably won’t stop, especially if they never experience direct consequences of their actions. Even if their brain knows that what they’re doing is wrong, they want to keep doing it because it’s fun for them.

I don't know anyone who has cheated and then learned from their mistake.
But honestly, I don't think they can learn from it. I really believe in that saying "once a cheater, always a cheater".

[fauchelevent]

I think that t's possible that they can change but I don't personally think I'd be comfortable taking the risk or being with someone who at one point thought that was acceptable... But it's definitely possible they wouldn't cheat again, I just don't know anyone who's done that.

[TheRedLemon]

Yes. Myself. What i did was really stupid and will never do again. More details: I forced r_drawothermodels 2 to stay like that in tf2 servers with cheat engine and then got vac banned. Will never cheat again. I have 995 days since last ban.

[Polymorpher]

I learned from my mistake after i cheated. So in my next relationship i flat out said that im a polyamourous person. And we couldnt be happier, sharing people between us. Seriously, its the most healthy relationship we've ever had.

[xCherryKizz]

Depends in the person you dated. I hate to say "depends" but if the person repented and stuff i think he or she deserves a chance. (Provided the cheating thing doesn't escalate into bigger problems like pregnancy and stuff)

[pinkzoesbb]

I don’t know anyone that’s cheated. I do think the cheater and learn from their mistakes. People cheat for a reason the relationship can be lacking something. They’ll know more of what they want in a new relationship.

[RJGraveyTrain]

I think it’s possible, but I wouldn’t hang around to find out.

[estoydorado1]

It's possible but serial cheaters are pathological liars. I don't make a habit of repeating other's mistakes and it would be ridiculous of me to trust someone with that pattern of behavior.

[RuthAnn1781]

They can learn from it but that doesn't undo it or mean that they won't do it again. I wouldn't stay with a guy who cheated because he must not really give a shit about me, but that's just me

[Ellie2432]

I feel that once a cheater always a cheater, they just get better at their game. But I guess if they find someone they are willing to settle down with anyone can change.

[EvilAngel114]

I think the only way they learn is to lose a person they really love, be cheated on or be hurt insanely bad.

[thechico79]

i will be honest, in my early 20's i was a cheater, then something happened that changed me for ever. Not going to say what because it won't work for everyone. But since that day, I have not cheated. so yes they can change.

[Jemini_Crocket]

I don't think so. Maybe very few of them can but I don't think their partners would trust them again.

[peachpitt]

I expect the answer is no. Cheating isn’t just about honoring your commitments , it is also about your relationship with yourself.

[Pomegranate139]

They are human aren't they? Of course they can learn form their mistake. They can learn to not cheat again or learn how to cheat better.

[ZaraMohammed]

They can learn from it yes. They will not cheat again, maybe. But will we be together? No. It's a forgive but bye situation

[momo770]

I think there has to be something that triggers the behavior. I have been cheated on and it's a betrayal of trust which can never be the same.

[Humbledman74006]

Like most here, I think They learn something, but once you do it, the door is open. It's to easy to do it again.

Someone on here referred to not being happy with something in the relationship, and I believe that's a fact.

[Crankor]

I have a feeling they just learn how not to get caught

[Warmapplecrumble]

Yea I know someone and they didn't cheat again ever.

[Olodumare]

No. Cheating is cheating. It’s best to just stay single and get to mingle

[Anonymous]

I'm pretty sure I taught my ex a lesson on cheating. I helped him cheat on his current girlfriend at the time, everyone found out and he lost friends and respect and she broke up with him. Then I dated him for about a year and left him.

[JosyJosy]

Yes they can. And it's going to be a painful lesson once they realize that the person they cheated on, was the one

[cinderelli]

they might and learn to no cheat on the next partner.. because I won't be with such a person no matter what..

[Cuteusernamehere]

I think they can but I don't know anyone that has stayed together after infidelity.

[Lelaila]

Perhaps some can, but definitely not all of them. I don't know any cheater who "changed".

[mishka0044]

No for the most part. They dont learn. Some can though.

[es20490446e]

People can change if they do because of themselves, not because of been with you.

[HamAndCheese]

Nah, I find that cheaters are very often repeat offenders.

[brownbeauty23]

Never been cheated
Never cheated anyone

So I don't know

[Sasha95]

I have to confess... Once a cheater, always a cheater

[LadyCourtessa]

Maybe they can but I won't take that risk once my boyfriend cheated on me that's just it I'm gone forever

[Anonymous]

I refuse to answer all of your questions that start with "GaG"

[Asker]

[Opinion Owner]

[Asker]

[Opinion Owner]

Do as you want
Just wrote my opinion.

[supergrape]

They learn to lie better

[QueenofCups]

They can learn, but they rarely do.

[luvstoned4him]

Not as yet. They say the temptation is too strong.

[LeeKenz]

They can yeah... but do they? No

[Kranjec]
