Can you forgive someone who cheated on you?

May 15, 2022 9:37am CST
I have this friend whose husband cheated on her. He not only had an affair with this other woman, he is married to this other woman too. My friend didn’t get a divorce, but stayed seperate. That man, after a year, wants her back. He is now begging her to stay with him and is willing to end the other relationship. She decided to go to him because she still loves him and believes that her selfishness shouldn’t cost her son to miss a perfect family. I don’t know, I don’t think I would ever be able to forgive someone who cheats. That’s the worst you could do to a person.I have told my husband if he ever fell out of love, he should tell me so that we could either fix it or part ways.

She might want her son to feel family with both his parents by his side. When she says that it seems as though she isn’t prioritising her happiness, which is sad.

i would never forgive cheating. it's the most hated thing for me. because if you cannot commit yourself to only one, then you must not commit. i feel bad for your friend. hope she gets the love she really deserves.

The husband is guilty of bigamy if he's legally married to both women. If she lets him come back, it will only be a matter of time before he's with yet another woman.

Some people do make errors in judgment and fall to temptation , so for me it depends on the situation - if it was a one time thing that didn't last long, if l am still in love with him and if he seems contrite enough, l would probably take him back. However l don't think l would completely trust him again.

Yeah, once you break the trust, it’s gone forever. I think that will make things difficult in the relationship
