Again, it depends on you. And your situation. Are you married to this person? If I were married to them, then there is no way I could live with that betrayal. You have to ask yourself if that is something you could live with. Don't even bother wondering if you could forgive and forget, because that will NEVER happen. You may be able to forgive and move on, but you will not be able to forget, believe me. And if you can't forgive them, then you need to cut your losses and move on now, before you realize five or ten years from now that you just can't move past it and you've wasted such a big part of your life. Good luck, and I'm truly sorry you have to deal with this :(

I think this is really only something the parties involved can answer, for themselves, because they are the only ones who really know how they are handling the situation. But I also think they need to look in to the reason it happened in the first place. Trouble in the marriage? Husband who doesn't care whether or not he hurts his wife? Some outside influence that needs to be removed? There are a lot of reasons. These situations can be rectified under the right circumstances and if both parties are willing to work at it. I think in the end there really is no easy"yes or no" sort of answer.

You are so right that there is no easy answer, it has to be based on the individuals and the situation. I like your response.

IF HE IS ADMITTING HIS MISTAKE AND READY TO CORRECT IT HE SHOULD BE ADMITTED

He did admit to it but it was when I found the emails, printed them out and confronted him? What could he say then I had proof! Before that he did lie to me and said he had never cheated!!

Well, do you think you can truly forgive him? Also, is this the first time, and do you think you can trust him not to do it again? If so, you might be able to take him back. It's a very difficult decision and I don't blame anyone who can't do so. But, some marriages do survive infidelity.

right now, no! It's too recent and painful. Honetly no I don't think I will ever realy forgive him. To realy forgive you have to be strong enough to never bring it up again and keep holding on to it. I don't think humans are programed that way. It's impossible to forget a painful experiance.

That really is a very tough question. Was this the first time?? If no than I would probably not take him back. If yes, what was the situation, a affair over a period of time or a one night stand. I don't think I could forgive the affair. But it really comes down to you. Can you get past the cheating to be able to forgive and move on, because if not it won't really work out. Just my thoughts.

He swears it was the only time. I did see the emails and that is what it said but I have so many doubts now.It was a one night stand with an old high school girlfriend but it was planned out. That , to me, changes the whole thing! Even if it was once, he planned it!!!

I believe everyone deserves a second chance. Unless you have reason to believe they wont change..if they do it again sry, they got to go. It would hurt for awhile, but time heals and there are more people out there who would treat you properly..

I do believe that everyone of us deserves a second chance when we make a mistake and hurt someone not intending to...but this was planned! It was a one time, one night thing but he planned it!
