When people start a new relationship there is always the fear of getting hurt, but the worst of all is getting cheated on.I have been in several relationships and certain enough I have been cheated on.To find out that the person that you love and trusted deceived and betrayed you in such a vial manner.Such betrayal its usually the cause of many break-ups and our cautious behavior in new relationships. I think that the worst part of being cheated on, its not the betrayal itself, but the fact the we self-doubt ourselves. So, I was thinking, if someone cheated on me...would I take him back?would I be able to trust him again?would I be able to forgive and forget without being suspicious all the time?After thinking about it, I came to the conclusion that I couldn't because if that person truly love me he wouldn't have cheated in the first place. So, would you take back someone who cheated on u? do you agree with me?let me hear what you think.

NO. Trust me on this. Once a cheater ALWAYS a cheater. Especially if he knows he can sweet talk you out of it. Never ever take him back.

I completely agree with you...if we give them the green light after cheating, they know that they can do it again and we'll take them back....it will never end

O,Oh! I'm guilty of this. Me and my partner are in a relationship for almost six years and I flirted with someone in our early stage of our relationship. Now that we are celebrating our 5th year anniversary I confessed to her that I cheated again(no physical contact though). I admitted to her that I'm flirting online. again, just plain chat. But,i told her that i almost fell in love with that person. She still accepted me, we regularly communicate but she's different now. I'm not sure if we are in "cool off stage" but i can feel the wall between us. I know i caused her so much pain.... I still want her back...

Nope, I would never take back someone who cheated on me. I just feel like that's setting yourself up for more hurt. Plus, it's very wrong to be romantically involved with someone while in a relationship with someone else. Too many people cheat today, and I don't trust easily for that reason. My man feels the same way. I'm just glad I'm with someone who feels the same way I do.

I agree with all of this. I am glad my husband feels the same way.

I believe that everyone deserves a second chance. It would certainly depend on the relationship and the circumstances that led to cheating. I would honestly have to say that i would take someone back even though they cheated on me and broke my heart. It would be difficult to regain the trust and commitment of the relationship. If I really care for this person and they feel the same for me, anything can be mended. Even a broken heart.

I respect your opinion,but if someone cheated on you there is no excuse or reason that can validate such betrayal.The most common excuse is "you are not there for me."Well, as a couple it is my understanding that there has to be communication and a person should talk to his or her partner if he or she is unhappy instead of cheating. I believe that regaining the trust is nearly impossible as for we are going to be more suspicious about the person's behavior,activities, and so on...and in every argument brought on by a suspicion we will end up remind them of their infidelity. I think that if a person takes back a partner who has cheated on him or her will not be able to forget which will put more strain to a relationship that already is in the edge of an abyss.

I can't really answer that because i had never been cheated before in my 7 years relationship with my boyfriend but when i think about that situation i guess i cant take him back anymore because of the pain that he caused me, i don't think i can handle it again if it will happen again in the future.

I don't think I would be able to. With the first time they cheated I wouldn't be able to trust them again = [

Theoretically, a fox can change grey but never good. It is hard for people to change. Like you said, they cheated you one time. It is possible that they cheated you again. I am a soft-hearted person, however. I know it is not right to forgive the cheater, but I always can't help taking someone back.

When one partner cheats on the other there is a loss of trust. I don't believe a relationship can last if there is no trust and it's awfully hard...if not impossible...to regain trust in someone who has betrayed you.

No, I would not stay with someone who cheated on me. Like you, if he loves me he will not do that. I would never do that to anyone, it is so wrong for many reasons. Other people are brought into the relationship, there is a division between the couple because of the other person who he is cheating with, and of course there are a multitude of diseases he can bring home. Raincoats don't always protect against those. Can you imagine going to the doc for a regular check up and finding out you have a disease? That is the ultimate betrayal to find your husband is cheating on you. I hope that never happens to anyone, how awful that would be, especially if there are children.

Hello baby welcome to mylot I am sorry to learn that you have been cheated many times, because you are simple and trust all. In my opnion a cheater is always a cheater, he might be having multiple relationships, NEVER TRUST A CHEAT for the second time... Thanks for sharing. Welcome always. Cheers. Professor

i think it completely depends on and also d circumstances under which d person cheated us and also d person who has cheated us and how much we r ready to believe him .but a betrayal is a, betrayal, and i personally think dat a second chance should be given to d person who u feeel deserves it ,but at d same time must ensure dat such a situation never arises again

Betrayal is a "heavy stuff".. Life is to big to depend on someone who had betrayed you. Your conclusion was correct. I myself "allowed" my lovely one to hurt my feeling, as long as it's not involving someone else, i mean cheated on me, that i will not accept. You had that strength, keep your life move on.
