If someone cheated on you, would you take them back? Would you ever trust them again? I would be able to forgive but I do not think I can forget.

You can't really say No to all cheaters. Even in court they would consider the mitigating circumstances. So, I can only say that it will depend on the situation that drove the cheater to cheating. I see cheating as an escape from reality. The cheaters think that they are solving an immediate problem but in fact they are actually creating another more complicated problem. As to taking them back after they've cheated, that will absolutely depend on the situation. If they are a serial cheater, I think I will never take someone like that back, will never trust them again and will never forgive them. But if they admit that it was an indiscretion that they regret and will not repeat, I might consider taking them back on probation.

In these days of AIDS and HIV, I would not take back a cheater for the sake of my health.

I'm like you and done it with the same person many of times, and maybe still to this day take her back if she asked, well I'd make her beg like crazy, but I'd still probably take her back! We were married, now divorced for about 5 years now and I take care of the kids, so it'll be more so to have that family structure, but I would definitely not forget!!!!! Taripre$

it depends on how grave the sin was.i might forgive her but the relationship that she and I had will never be the same again.i might even have some of my suspicions if she go to places that am not aware of.. trust will be a big issue for me

You just cannot cheat someone you love. Tell me my dear, would YOU cheat the person you love most? If you can answer that truthfully, then there's nothing else to say. If he cheated you, he does not love you; he may care for you, he may regret that he cheated on you, he may even mean what he says. But, he does not love you.

Yes, i would take a person back that cheated on me. If your relationship is worth saving and you feel that you can work on the problems you have it's worth trying. If the person that cheated on you is good to you and made this mistake and genuine in correcting, what's wrong in trying? Trust is a factor that must be regained. It's hard but I think that the person that was cheated on have to think about what is important to him/her and make a decision.

Hello, berry.It is hard, it's very hard for me to trust the cheater again, not matter what reason he or she has, I CAN NOT accept. I agree with you, I can forgive but I can not forget. And I don't have any contact with the cheater again. Have a nice day!

well, if you can't forget, how can you trust on that person again? trust is the most basic thing on a successful relationship. I wouldn't take back someone who cheated on me.

In my opninion I wouldn't take a cheater back. I would forgive the person but I wouldn't take them back. I would let them go because once they did what they did and I forgive them and take them back, they will most likely go back and do it again. I do believe in second chances but cheating is my exception. Once a cheater always a cheater.

Everybody always says once a cheater always a cheater but i don't believe thats always true. I know for a fact because i was once the cheater, i honestly hurt someone and it's something i will ALWAYS regret. I would not, and have not cheated, desired to or wanted to since.
