If this should happen to me, I do not know if I'll be able to forgive the girl whom my husband had an affair with.

I'm not sure if I'll be able to forgive my husband, let alone the woman he had the the affair with. I am not a trusting person,and it really takes me a while to give my trust to anybody. so if he cheats on me, I dont know if I'll be able to forgive and get that trust back. if he was a boyfriend that ends the relationship right there and then. if he's my husband, then I guess it would take a lot of work. as for that woman, we better not see each other on the street or she'll regret the day she chose to have a relationship with my man.

You mean to say that you won't be able to forgive the girl with whom your husband will have affair, what about your husband, will you forgive him. It takes two to have an affair not a single person can be held guilty. It is actually difficult to forgive the person who was yours,as it hurts a lot when such things happen.

it would hurt a lot for sure. But if the husband is really sorry, and exerts an effort to make things work again, in time I can forgive. After all, I believe that a wife should not turn her back on her husband.

Hi there bubbletush, i'm a single mom with a 4yr old child. I was been cheated with my bf when i was 3months pregnant. He's working far from me and i never even realized that he will cheat on me, he has new gf and he just texted me that he has no love for me anymore. It's the most painful experienced i've been through for the whole of my life. It was 4years ago, and i already forgive him for all he has done to me. I have to do this for me to have peace of mind and i'm already happy with my life now. With my daughter who gives smile and happines in my life.

why not? there is no harm in giving those people who are close to us a second chance for as long they are sincere and tried to amend things that went wrong, why not?

If I was in a situation like that there is no way I could forgive my boyfriend or husband! Having an affair means he doesn't love or care for me! That he is also slime and I want he out of my life! No ifs ands or buts!

If that will happen I will not forgive both of them. It's hard to forget those infidelity I would blame him for life if we still together after all of that cheating. The worst feeling that you can possibly have is believing that someone is being unfaithful to you. That is really painful I would cry a river if that happen but after that trials I will face tomorrow moving on with my daughter...

I would not be able to forgive my husband if he ever cheated on me. I think that if he were to cheat then he does not have the feelings for me thathe should. If you cheat then you are obviously not happy in some way with your partner. If you can not talk to your partner about what is wrong in the relationship then you should not be together.

I don't think that I will never forgive both of them. I will be more angry with my husband than with the girl, since he had fall to her. Our relationship will not be the same never, since I will be suspecting him all the time, which is not a good relationship. I will never trust him again for sure, it is difficult to trust again.

I don't think I'll be able to forgive both of them,no matter who make the first move,they still choose to cheat and betray.neither of them are less guilty than the other.
