What would it take for you to forgive a cheating spouse? (Page 2)

[PrettyPriya]

I wouldn't. There is absolutely nothing a person could say or do for me to forgive them for cheating.

[WhatTheHeckkkk]

I wouldn’t forgive them.

[TonyMetal___86]

Good because a person who truly loves you will never cheat!

A time machine that took us back to the time before he cheated.

I know me, and I am not the type to let this go and forgive and forget. If I'd spent my whole relationship with that person being faithful, supportive, loving, and that's what he did to me, it's over because I don't want to spend the rest of my days resenting him or all that I'd done for him. It's best we part ways because I don't see a healthy relationship blossoming after the fact.

He can start by cleaning every single f trash that’s on this planet that people throw on the streets, give pedicures to people who have fungus and athletes foot, clean the bottom of the ocean floor, shower in shit, and after that I still wouldn’t forgive him. Imagine having kids with that person and them just throwing it away for a 1 night stand? Gtfo.

[Oigit]

There is a lot of truth to the idea of forgiving someone for yourself and not them. So I'd diverse them, cut off all contact and work on forgiving them. So that I don't end up carrying around any baggage with me.

[Kaneki05]

If they told me right away and then I may do so or may not do so. What I for sure won't forgive is someone lying and sleeping around behind my back. I think I could maybe forgive them not lying and just telling they fucked up after the fact.

before getting married, If we talked and there was a really good reason then maybe we would have a chance.
once married, then nothing, no thanks, I’m out. The point of marriage for me is a commitment to the person you marry.

[Agape93]

I don't forgive. I don't care what they do or say, they're done.

After 10 years, she had a 6 month affair...
I stayed because I have two kids I love and cherish and can not live without.
As a man, If I left, I would likely barely see them.

I stayed and “forgave” but I am not the same.
I exist. I live to make my kids lives better.
On the outside it looks like I am a happy loving husband... even in her mind.

[Quidthonian]

Divorce with fault on her side. She can get out of my life and go live with her lover. She wouldn't get anything from me. She can take her clothing and get out of my apartment immediately. Not like she hasn't got a bed to sleep in...

[mcguiganestate]

I would forgive them if they did it almost purely out of lust, and if they still loved me significantly more than the other person in question. In the case of my partner, in the extremely unlikely event they ever cheated on me, I have every reason to believe that they'd be telling the truth upon explaining what I've said above, and so I expect that I would forgive them.

[MillOns22]

I'll admit to being that horrible person that has cheated. Hmm... Im guessing/thinking, they'd have to change some things, sorry, little more and I'd maybe forgive, hypocrytical I know. I'll never forget though and I can be kind of a bitch at times. There's only one chance given though.

[GlassTop]

So you can say since you’ve cheated, you could trust yourself to not cheat again or do you think your partner should just have a short leash on you to prevent you from getting into scenarios where you could cheat?

[slatyb]

I could handle the cheating, but not the lying. If an opportunity arose and she asked, I would probably tell her to go ahead. But that’s extremely unlikely to happen.

[Anonymous]

If by forgive you mean take them back then no. I seriously cannot emotionally handle this level of betrayal from such a close relationship. I would feel like I were about to die upon learning they cheated. I couldn't be with them anymore. The little trust I have would be evaporated.

[beingsmudgy]

Nothing...
She cheated
Leave her
Accept it
Move on

[Tiptoetamm]

It would be super difficult but if we are truly in love and he never ever does it again than yes I could try and work it out no promises and would be serious trust issues.

[TonyMetal___86]

If he truly loved you than he would of never cheated on you...
You're a sweet lady and deserves to be loved for real...
You're also a wild lady which means you're future husband won't be able to have enough from you haha

Never forgive someone who cheats, even in the bible, the divorce can only be abtained if someone cheats because it's worst than anything else!

[mrsalyssaefron]

In my opinion, I could never forgive someone who cheats on me. Sorry but, once a cheater always a cheater. The trust was broken the minute they decided to cheat.

[leighbee]

My boyfriend was sexting girls and sending d**k pics in our first year and a half dating ad far as I know could be longer

I think now if I was stronger I would tell him to do one

[annabananna]

Genuine remorse and genuine desire to get to the root of the problem of why cheated and take care of that. The problem is is that a lot of people pretend to be remorseful. It would need counseling and time.
