Thread: Cheating: Is It Forgivable?

Um, no. That's why there's something called breaking up. If a person in a relationship isn't satisfied with their relationship, he/she can always end it or try to talk it out. I think one of the major problems that arise in a relationship is that there isn't enough heart to heart communication. Cheating doesn't make either party happy in the end.

Yes, because I'm an idiot who would lose the only girl/boyfriend I would ever had if I dumped him/her because they were cheating on me.

iif i found out a future girlfriend cheated on me then at that moment she can hit the road and find someone else. so no.

Well....since the mod didnt appreciate the witty humor in my last post.........
Simply answer: No
Complex answer: Still no, but if it's someone really significant, you might find it in your heart to forgive them if they're sincerely apologetic.

i am not taking sides for or against you, but i would like to point out that cheating is not always for sex.

I don't think it's forgiveable in most cases, but under some circumstances then I think it can be acceptable. If the person is really that in love with the other person and is at least apologetic for what they did, explained why they did it, and had a valid excuse, then I think it can be forgiven. If you really loved the person then I suppose it'd be very hard getting over it, but if you can find it in your heart to forgive them, well, then, that makes you the better person for not bearing a grudge, right?

To speak generally: No.
To speak specifically: It would depend on the circumstances.

Cheating isn't a one-size-fits-all kind of deal, as it comes in a wide ranges of varieties and flavors. Some cheats are signs that one has no respect or consideration for their partner, while others may simply be breakdowns in the relationship itself. Maybe one is seeking extra companionship because their partner is constantly away and their social needs are being neglected? Maybe one is being naively flirtatious with a friend? Not all cheating has to deal with sex, a lot of it can simply be defined as not being dedicated to their partner.

But in general, if you have to ask, the answer is "No." There are plenty of other people out there who would be interested in getting to know you.

Depends on the circumstances. Personally, I don't think I could forgive someone. Not because of the act itself but just because of the lack of trust i'd have in them from there on out. I know girls that stay with their boyfriends even though they cheat all the time. I just don't understand why they'd do that to themselves.

No no, goodness no. If I can't trust my partner to stay loyal to me then chances are the relationship just won't work out. If my boyfriend ever cheated, I doubt I'd be able to see him the same way again. :(
