Would you truly forgive your husband or wife for having an affair ?
Find answers to your legal question.





Would you truly forgive your husband or wife for having an affair ?

Do you notice many couples stay together through thick and thin?
Could you honestly forgive them for betrayal?
How can one sleep with their partner knowing this?

Personally, I don't believe it could ever be the same.
I assume they try hard to forgive, yet can never trust again.
Could you do it ?

NO, I would never forgive or forget, she would be history. Too many honest women out there to continue living married to someone who cheats.

I think after marriage, I would be able to forgive my husband. Although i am in the process of a divorce for completely different reasons. If i was in a loving and caring relationship and he may sway I would eventually forgive him, but burn me twice and its over.

Steph, I did forgive but she became a repeat offender and I shut her off so she divorced me !


girlfriend
Yes , I could forgive him, right after i smacked him with a
2x4.

Yes, I truly forgave him; once but if it should happen again, no way would I forgive. And as far as sleeping with him again; it was easy for me. It isn't the same as it once was - you are correct, but in a way it is a bit better as he now seems to cherish our marriage more than ever and shows me this in every way he is able. And, yes, you can trust again; that is a choice. I don't even worry about it anymore. If it happens, well, he'll be out the door and why worry about something that 'could happen' - you'd be worrying all the time and who wants to live like that. No, I choose to trust and love and forgive.

I couldn't.... but some people could.

I did forgive my boyfriend for having an affair when he promised he would never do it again. We even got engaged. I told him at the time that even though I had forgiven him, I would never be able to forget. I never brought the subject up again. He never kept his promise though. He had another affair. Needless to say, he is now my ex.

Forgiving someone is not always the problem
Forgetting is the problem.
So far I haven't been able to forgive to the tune of
4 ex-husbands...

I would forgive my partner once. I would try my best to anyways. It all depends on the length of the affair and who she was and how long we had been together. We are all prone to make mistakes. I do think that the relationship probably would change after the affair, but i think it is fair to forgive at least once.

me and my husband has both made the mistake. we regreted it and told each other before we found out from someone else. if you love someone you'll stick in there. if you remember when you took your vows it was for better or for worse. if you didn't mean it you shouldn't have said it. everyone makes mistakes no one is perfect. you may have not cheated on your spouse but just take a moment and look back in your life can you honestly say you've never done anything you regret if so you are not human.

No, never, personally opinion is NO NO NO NO NO!

ONce cheater always cheater, that's how I see it.

The trust will never be the same.

I don't know how other people "forgive" the betrayal, but myself would definitely gone crazy for things like that, it will bug me all the time!


sapphire
No i could not forgive cause i would be heartbroken and i would never feel the same way about him ever again...I would lose all respect for him and never being able to trust him again....

husband, yes, cos men n' women are different.

i don't think i could truely forgive him, I don't think i could trust him ever again either. I would always be wondering where he was if he was late or when he called to make some excuse about being late home. I don't think things would be the same again.

I believe that everyone should be given one chance in life,
since none of us are perfect. Married for over 21yrs and
neither me or my wife have not needed to give one or the
other that chance, as there are some marriages that are
rock solid.

Like a friend of mine said...."I'd forgive him , but I'd sure miss him."

It's hard to forgive someone who has cheated on you....Even if you stay with them you always have that thought for instance when they are late coming home from work your thinking "yea he's with her again" or when they don't answer their cell

you can stay together but things will never be the same.......


Laurel
NO WAY...


Bryan M
Yes I would forgive her, and as long as we are both willing to do it, we would go through marriage counseling to try and work through it as well. Yes there would be a loss of trust, and we would have to work to rebuild that trust.

I could not if I knew. If he was all I can say is don't tell me and stop doing it. That would be ok but not if I knew for sure.

personally i couldnt ever forgive or forget, i wouldnt even want to be in the same room ever again as my husband if he ever did such a thing.


?
"NO"

No, I could not.... when I took my vows I meant them. My first husband and I was married 30 years and I never thought of having an affair and I don't think he ever did, I really don't (that wasn't his flaw).
My husband now was married for 22 years and his wife had two affairs while they were married and he forgave her both time and treated her like a queen after that (he always did) she treated him like crap the entire marriage. I asked him "how could you forgive her the first time, then again the second"? his reply was that he loved her and he wanted to make the marriage work and if he wasn't willing to forgive and forget them they didn't have a chance of any type of marriage.
The way I look at that marriage is they didn't have one .... because she didn't love him enough to be faithful to him and treat him with any respect and he was giving his all to her and trying to make it work. This is not what he has told me I know these are the facts.
So the answer to your question is NO (I may try to forgive them) but I could never forget what they done to me. I feel if you have the need to go out and have an affair them you need to get out of the marriage first. Have that much respect for your spouse.

if you are deeply and tuly in love with this person and they never do it again then yes , because when you are so in love with them you will do anything to make sure they never do it again and try to make them undrestand how you feel about them. but if you are not deeply in love with them then you should end it weather they want to or not

I think I would be able to forgive my husband, he is too important to me to just throw away what we have without trying. It would not be easy, but it would be worth it. I would feel better if he was the one to tell me what had been going on, and that it was over. It would be hard to trust him for awhile.

I could not do it and I would not even try.
