Could you forgive a cheating spouse?

Could you forgive a cheating spouse?

I've discussed this w/ dh and he thinks it's not very nice when I say I would totally kick his *** if he ever cheated. Neither of us has or has intentions of cheating (to my knowledge) and we have a good relationship, but I'm the jealous type!

I dont think you have any worries.

The women that get cheated on, are the pushovers and the ones that let their husbands get away with it.

You sound feisty and I dont think your man would dare.

Good on you girl.

No, I could not forgive it at all. Especially with all the nasty diseases out there, who knows what he might pick up? And some can be transmitted to others even with no visible signs (herpes, HIV are two of them).

I can forgive but never forget, and a relationship without trust won't be together for long

Hell no I could never forgive my man if he ever cheated on me, thank god I dont have to worry about that. Cheating is the worst way you can betray your partner and I wouldn't want his D*** inside me after he done put it in some other ******. Hell no not me.

It depends on how much I would love the spouse. If the two of us were together just for the kids, then yeah, cheat all you want I don't care, you're not getting any from me then!!!

Otherwise, in a real love relationship, no. I just couldn't swallow the pain and put it away knowing that he cheated. In a real love relationship, obviously the guy would only want to be with you and no one else if it was true love. Once the guy goes astray, then the love is broken and cannot be fixed.

never!

It's hard to say, if it was just a one night stand, I would just rather not ever know about it, if it was something more serious, I'd want to know but I don't know if I could ever forgive or forget.

I could forgive my partner once for cheating on me once

No I would never forgive my husband if he ever cheated on me,no matter what his excuse would be.There are no excuses for cheating on your spouse,especially if you are married.Even if you tried to forgive a cheating spouse,you probably would never get what they did out of your mind,and ever time you had a big fight it would be thrown right back out there! I agree with you...I would kick my husbands a** and vise versa if either one of us ever cheated!

You either Love the person and accept that he will cheat again or you leave him. Once a trust is broken, it is almost impossable to trust again.

no, once a cheat, always a cheat

Never!

no way, cheaters can't be forgiven the same way abusers can't,
either way no matter what your spouse says to you that he/she will never do "it" again, and "it" only happend one time...
history always repeats itself

I would suggest counseling if that happened. You can learn to forgive but you will never forget and you don't want to keep throwing the issue in the person's face. that's just my thought. My parents have done this toeach other at various times when I was younger yet they are workingon their 36th yr of marraige..GO figure


libra_girl_jc
im the jealous type too but i have good reason ~ just about every serious relationship i've had resulted in me being cheated on. It's not something you can get over ~ i tried to forgive and forget but that didn't work ~ we ended up getting divorced a year later. Moral of this story: if he cheats, leave and dont look back.

It would take a lot of work and time to forgive a spouse that cheated. Marriage is sacred and a life time commitment .. I would rather my spouse tell me honestly if they wanted to be with someone else than to betray me

I wouldn't. I couldn't. I would get rid of them and never, ever talk to them again. I deserve far more respect than that from a spouse.

Ask him what he would do if you cheated, and see if he comes around. :)


FoundMySoulMate
could i forgive a cheating spouse, I can tell that if do, that means you can never bring it up again. You can't use that against him ever or don't even bother forgiving him or her. If you keep that over your partners head, that will only cause future problems. The only way I could forgive my partner is if she came to me and told me first before I busted her. Her coming on her own would mean that she feels bad and is sorry that it happened and still wants me. If you have busted them in the act, then you know he or she planned on doing this behind your back, in your own bed ,and now is only sorry because he or she got busted.

So, no I COULDN'T FORE GIVE IF I BUSTED HER.

No way!!!

get over it

Nope. I could never look at them the same way again.

It is sensless to be jealous to that extreme. It doesn't change anything and it doesn't do your nerves any good either. Let it go and just be happy.

Show your love to your spouse in everything - in your talks, in your behaviour and the caring you will give your spouse, that's the greatest thing you can do to ensure the same thing in return. Good Luck!!!


mickey's1girl
No I couldn't!!! What that saying forgive but don't forget. That's a bunch of crap.

No..once a cheat always a cheat. I would throw them out as soon as i found out.

it all depends on how much you love them and if you are a forgiving person.,


NightGoddess1515
Hell no!!! If he wants someone else, he can HAVE them. He just can't have both. I don't think all men are the stupid dogs most women believe them to be....they have a mind, a conscience, and a CHOICE! If they choose to step-out, then BYE BYE!!! I will find someone worthy and mature enough to be faithful.


Mrs.Me
Yeah, being jelous and freaking out whenever he isn't around you and telling him that even though he's not given you reason to think he's cheating that you'll kick his @ss if he ever does is EXACTLY the right way to keep a man and keep him happy..
Big up's to you home girl!
Your a CATCH!


jenjfrost
I would not be able to forget that he cheated, and I wouldn't be able to trust him. The relationship would be over. But you can't stop anyone from doing what they want to do. Don't worry about what might happen, just be happy with the way things are.

ur jealous is going to make him cheat!!!
