How many relationships are successful after a cheating took place?

nik named mom

not many, and those that do are forever changed. It depends very much on the two people in the "main" relationship, It depends on how it's handled afterwards. It also makes a difference if it happens more than once.

Not many. And for good reason. How can you get the trust back?

Very Few....Whomever was the one cheated on, will always wonder why the other was late, who was with them and what were they doing. Forgiving takes a big heart and a lot of work, but forgetting is the hardest..... Good Luck....

One night 2 years ago I cheated on my husband and he forgave me and his bestfriend.
My husband and I are fine and our bestfriend still hangs out every week.

It's almost impossible, no trust.
try letting the other person cheat.

VOTE YES ON 3 IN MASSACHUSETTS

for me, NONE. Cheating is unforgivable in my book. Especially in a marriage. Once a cheater, always a cheater.

I left my husband 5 months ago when I found out what he was doing. He is going through a midlife crisis at 50. Gaining weight, loosing hair, etc. They say the first thing a man does is get a girlfriend. It will make them feel young and vibrant. I found his male enhancement pills in the trunk of his car. She is a very homely woman. He didn't need anything with me. Go figure!
I am better than that and found an apartment the next day. Life is too short to deal with someone who is unworthy of me and my love. We took vows and I have lived by my vows. If I would of stayed with him it would send the message that it was ok to abuse me in this manner and that I have no self respect. I loved him with all my heart, so it has been a rocky road. Thank God for good friends and my family. I know I am so much better off with out him in my life. There would be no way that I could ever trust him again.

Some if you get counseling.

not many if the person who did the cheating is taken back there is always a lack of trust. the other person is always thinking the other is cheating when ever they go out.

Successful none, they might stay together but that past will haunt them for ever.

Well I'll just go with the most obvious thing.....NO......(think)!!!

Nothing but the truth...!!

more than you would think!! People make mistakes...and some are able to forgive. Sometimes issues like these wakes someone up to what they really stand to lose and what they have and make them appreciate it even more!

I think it would depend allot on the people involved, If you really love the person you're with you'll work threw it.How early in the relationship it happened. If it was early theres a chance things will work however if your married and it happened forget it you don't need that, and as far as the whole once a player always a player is not always true. trust me I'm speaking from experience. good luck with your choice.

Depends on whether you are married or if is just a boyfriend/girlfriend.

curiously_cautioned

None that I know of. My ex-husband cheated on me and i tried to forgive him, it lasted 3 months and I was gone. I think once a cheater, always a cheater.

Only the ones who can really "forgive" and "forget" can continue with their lives.

Also, for the couple to succeed the "third" party has to be willing to let go too!

If a person is not willing to let go of the past, there will always be problems in the future.

NONE

Sweet Thang

None. Relationships are based on trust.
You have to have 100% trust and faith in one another for
a relationship to work. Even years later a women will always
hold this against you, if you have an argument it will be bought up. If you have to cheat, he or she is not the one for you.

liven it

i told my husband i was in love with he and our good friend... I think slept with the 'other' fellow a few months later. Several years later.. i have a husband and a boyfriend.. and we are all doing quite well =) been w/ hubby for 9 years and bf for 4.... ?? crazy stuff happens sometimes. It was not an easy road to take.. but well worth it I think.
