Based with my experienced, though my heart was broke many times with same person and still my partner now, is forgiveness and acceptance. I know in a relationship there is always challenges and though I been cheated three times, I know the love we have is true. Sometimes we should accept someones shortcomings. In a relationship lots of temptations around and sometimes we can't afford to reject.

Hi! Believe me--been there, done that so do understand. You may need to start asking yourself some hard questions--the kind that no one wants to answer but has to. For one, do you really want to spend your life with this person? Can you accept them for what they are? Do they understand the kind of pain they are causing you and are they willing to stop or at least modify this behavior? If not, what are you prepared to do? I know it is not easy to be on your own but if this person is causing you pain and is either not willing or able to change their behavior (within reason), you may have to decide what is best for yourself. No one wants to be alone but it is better than a painful relationship. I just hope that all will work out for you. :-)

i completely agree with you. it's the harsh reality that we have to face. we cannot just sugar coat everything when evidently it wont really work...i think if you gave forgiveness a lot of times, it wont be too right for you to give it a million chances before you realize that it is done and that it has got to stop.

True--especially if the other person makes no consistent effort to stop whatever behavior that is offensive or worrisome. I know that some things can't be changed until the person either wants to do so or over time but some things can be if done in the right way and for the right reasons.

Thanks for that guys. I also agree with you. Once I been cheated ( I understand) , twice being cheated (I forgive), thrice being cheated (I give another chance). I do all the forgiveness, I think it's enough.

I am amazed. I mean, i am so hurt right now. i feel like the world is on my shoulders, and i feel like i am being torn apart when i knew that my bf had cheated on me. He said i am the one he loves, he said i am the one he wants to spend his life with. but how could he have not resisted that person... how and why would he not remain faithful. it could have been me... would he be true now.... you see there are a lot of questions and things in my head that i do not have answer to. how did you deal with him? why did you accept him if he has troubled you and cheated on you for several times?

Accepting and forgiving are key in a relationship. We reach deep joy and deep hurt..and that shows just how committed we are when we continue to forgive. Both partners affect each other like no one else can and you are wise to remember all have shortcomings.
