I'm thinking about dating this one girl again...but I'm having a hard time forgiving her for cheating on me. I don't know if I can take her back. She's really beautiful, but I think I'm going to have to pass.

I agree with you completely but I think taking back an ex depends on the circumstances. I've experienced being cheated on too. I hated my experiences. I usually never forgive cheaters. It's not about whether they'll cheat again or not. It's just the plain fact of cheating that i hate. For others however, it may be better to consider forgiving and forgetting especially if they hava had a long history as a couple or if they have kids already. In these cases maybe it would be okay to forgive once.

Yeah, I agree. The sad part of it I think is that it makes me trust people a little less than before. :( Instead of talking to her, I think I'll just go watch fight club and get a burrito.

hahaha. That's a great idea. I mean about watching fight club and a burrito. As for not trusting, I am sorry to say that it's really a risk and a lot of people just can't be trusted at all. I also trust people less now. But don't let it get you down too long. Just go on with life and see what happens.

My first wife cheated on me and then became pregnant. She left to live with her boyfriend. I didn't divorce her until she had her baby, so that she could stay on my health insurance. Her new boyfriend had no way of supporting her and I didn't want the child to be neglected proper pre-natal health care because of poor choices her mother made. As soon as the baby was born, I filed for divorce. At one point, she told me that she wanted to come back but I told her no!

Yes you are right.It is not easy to just forgive cheater.If you really want to go back to her ,have strong reasons for that.Just physical beauty is not good enough reson to go back to her.Analyse the situation well & then take the decision.Once she cheated she can do it again.

I can relate to that, but thinking with your other head causes all kinds of trouble.
