Marriage and cheating

Do you think that a marriage can ever go back to being great after one of the married people cheat? The reason I'm asking is because I know of someone that got cheated on early on in their marriage. They decided to stay in the marriage. Every once and awhile she wonders if he's cheating because he does the same things that he did when he was cheating. She may just be being paranoid but I don't know. Do you think that every person who has ever been cheated on still wonders that sometimes?

It can get better, and probably will, but that knowing of the fact will never go away. The hubby's best thing to do is to becareful what he does and work hard to earn her trust back... Its easy to learn to trust someone the first time, but once that trust is broken, it will take a long time and a lot of convincing before the trust can be regained.

Yes, I believe he/she is still wondering about that situation. They never let it goes... That's how people think... you can't complain or blame this person is too paranoid because it happened before and no one can forget everything in a short time. It might take a lot of time for both of them to forget those thing. but in the mean time, he/she has to make thing up and be happy again with each other... that's might help them a lot. Thing happen for reason, so I hope you understand here.

I do think that every person who has ever been cheated on still wonders, because the trust has been broken. Trust is a very fragile thing, and once it's broken, there's no way to mend it. Doubt will always be there. ..And, if her other has cheated once, who is to say that they won't cheat again? It's her decision ultimately, but I believe that she should find someone else.
