probably yes, or it depends on the situation. nobody's perfect...I've been there. It's hard to give the trust back. but he should prove and assure you that it won't happen again.

nope... i wudnt....cheatin is not worth of ne mercy.... no need to b creul to him/her....but the very fact that they cheated is impossible to live with....its the worst kind of attack to ur trust n faith....n commitment too 4giv them...but don 4get that it happened....n leave them...let them decide wat they did was right or wrong...i feel nothing in this world cant b sorted out...so they shud hv talked to u abt it rather than go out n cheat.... i hate such ppl...cant stand them... one mistake can cause tremoundous pain to others...they suhd hv realised this...relation is not one person....they hv a resposibility to u too...they cant tk decisions abt the relation without u knowin...

I will forgive him as you say nobody's perfect.Mistakes tends to happens and people misunderstand infactuation as love.It would be difficult to bring that trust back but time will heal the wounds and everything would be fine if he has changed and won't do that mistake again..

we can't be so sure if that person will change if they made a mistake , , , i have been through that and i thought my partner changed but i guess we can never really change who they are

Well since i am romantic at heart who is loyal and trustworthy. I expect the same from other person. I agree nobody's perfect. But that doesnot give anybody license to play with one's feelings. If person doesn't care and cheats he or she is not trustworthy and should be DUMPED. Only the most stupid will give second chance as it will open up endless possibilies of being cheated again and you being heartbroken and feeling like a loser. I value myself too much too get into that sort of situation.

sometimes we misunderstood cheating . . some people think their partner cheated on them but really they didn't they just tried to hide the truth till such time they could fix it . . just like a clean roberry where everything worked as planned . . there might be something bad that they did but . . they tend to make it clean as if nothing happened and go on with their life

If ever my partner cheats on me, yes, I will forgive him. But that doesn't mean that I will still stay with him or get back to him. I can't do just that. Paranoia will hunt me like hell and I can't bear being paranoid forever. Like I often said, loving someone without fully trusting him is hard enough. And besides, cheating you partner doesn't belong under the category of love. If your partner cheats on you, he/she must haven't loved you at all. It could be just attraction, care or anything but love that he/she feels for you. Oh and yeah, that happened to me before. And we're now living separate lives. See? :)

I guess the saying once bitten twice shy appears true to me... If im cheated once, why should i give him the chance to hurt me again? Yah, its confusing coz of love.. but if he loves me, he wouldnt hurt me... He should be more then mature and sensitive to do that... If he cant even be nice, i cant expect more out of that.. Its hard to gain back the trust he lost...

ok i have to give my opinion about this :) theres also a saying "we are only human, we make mistakes" :) i know you'll give your partner another try how would we know anything without forgiving.

No I wouldn't. Not because I think I shouldn't or something, just because I could never trust him again even if I wanted to...

Yes it is ok to forgive your partner but never accept anymore.

I would say yes. It happened to me so many times before but I would still say yes. I don't know why...but I know I have my own limit and when I can't stand it anymore, I will just pack my bag and say goodbye. Once I made my decision, no one else could change it, not even if someone begs me to forgive him.
