| Cheating- can you forgive?
Posted: 2/24/2009 11:47:01 PM | | ^^^I agree...just lying alone I have an issue with...imagine physical and emotional betrayal...monogamy is the most sacred necessity in a relationship in order to ensure a happy, healthy, trusting, secure relationship...if you can't have that...then the relationship is pointless and superficial at best...for those who continue to sustain it. | |

Posted: 2/25/2009 1:45:20 AM | | My sympathy to you. But do you try to solve the problem in your relationship? Did you try to understand his mental status before your judgement? When you are busy claiming moral high ground, do you truly and honestly put enough effort in your relationship? | |

Posted: 2/25/2009 1:49:15 AM | I could forgive it once.
No more.
If we were going to stay together, we'd have to work on why it happened. | |

Posted: 2/25/2009 4:49:44 PM | Look I thought I met the man of my dreams. I dated him for 3.5 years and if we were not together we stayed on the phone for hours. I just found out that he was messing around not just one woman but others . I never had been cheated on and always wounder why a woman never could see it. The reason that this man was so good is because he had perfected his game over the years. So when you forgive you are just giving them power over you. you may forgive, but you will never forget. So move on. Its hard but face it now or later.  | |

Posted: 2/26/2009 9:36:51 AM | | Nope, 2 schools of thought. 1. Can you really bring yourself to forgive & FORGET? 2. They went elsewhere for something, therefore something was/is missing between you two..Move on | |

Posted: 3/2/2009 3:09:04 PM | I would have a hard time forgiving... I think I would always think about it when I would make love again to him which would likely have a negative impact on the relationship.
I guess it would also depend on the circumstances, eg. how long have you been dating since this happened, were you happy with your sex life or were there any problems? Does he have regrets? | |

Posted: 3/2/2009 3:50:17 PM | No,dont believe they will ever change. Im devastaded because recently I found out my x boyfriend of 5 years was cheating on me AGAIN.!!! Yes, i forgave him the first time,we were 7 months together and he lied saying he had broken up with his girlfriend who lived abroad. Got busted when she decided to surprise him showing up at work(we used to work together)
and now,One year with another girl and they were together already 8 months when I broke up with him...the only reason i found out was cause he never stopped texting me and when i heard rumours I answered to ask him. He should win the oscar, he denied,swore on his sons soul and started "seeing me" again.....but God always shows us, I was having nightmares and other things,then i found her on the net and gave her my number:Busted AGAIN..... listen,this time it hurt 1000 times worse! Ive already lost so much weight,i dont sleep and look like a crazy person at work...the depression is taking over and I feel like Im nothing but gargabe...
So,of course,when we love we become dumb and blind(women) but if you forgive him,FOR SURE he will do it again cause he knows he can... | |

Posted: 3/2/2009 5:16:45 PM | I believe that it's up to the cheater to figure out how to get forgiveness. The cheater made the mistake, so it's that persons job to solve the problem.  | |

Posted: 3/2/2009 6:09:06 PM | YES,
That doesn't mean letting the betrayer back into my life. I forgive for myself not for them and I move on......... | |

Posted: 3/2/2009 8:22:08 PM | It is not easy but it is possible. First you have to forgive and forget. Forgetting is the problem with most people. My husband started cheating after 25 years of marriage. When I found out, I did not yell at him, I never said anything. I found out what the woman looked like and went to the beauty shop and had my hair streaked like hers. I found him on the street corner using the telephone. I waited for him to come home. All I said was since you liked streaked hair, I had my hair done for you. He laughed and made fun of it. I didn't care and did not let it bother me. I made a point. Instead of being jealous and worrying, I just started showing him for affection and love and did more for him. We stayed married until he died in 2003. (45 yrs)
The biggest mistake women make when they find out their husband or boyfriend is cheating is they yell, throw it up to them and accuse them. If you don't accuse or get mad and say anything, they will feel guilty and have to deal with it. When you yell, your man will feel justified that he got his punishment for what he did and he will repeat it because you take away the guilt.
I'm not saying this will work in every situation, but I do know it worked for me. Also I know that usually when there is a problem in a relationship it is never one sided. It may seem like it to you or to him but the truth is somewhere something has happened. It is usually something very small that don't amount to a hill of beans but things get of hand and leads on to bigger issues.
If you really love the person, you could give him another chance. It is not the end of the world and none of us are perfect.

Posted: 3/2/2009 8:41:07 PM | | I would never forgive and would walk away from a person like that in a heartbeat, If you have no trust and not enough respect for another person why be in a relationship and hurt them... Stay footloose ad fancy free then. | |

Posted: 3/3/2009 9:44:25 PM | ya know, people don't cheat unless something is missing in their relationship. For me, I have tried to explain to my spouse EXACTLY what is missing and she says "I understand" and things will get better but they NEVER do. I could forgive, never forget but I would have to ask her....what am I not giving you to cause you to cheat.
If you are giving to each other everything the other person wants and needs then there will not be a reason to cheat PERIOD | |

Posted: 3/3/2009 10:03:33 PM | | If you are in a relationship wherein both proclaim love for each other and one is cheating then run from the relationship. Can you forgive someone cheating on you? You have to forget before you can forgive. Who forgets they've been cheated on! If they proclaim love for you and can cheat on you then you can bank on them cheating again. | |
