I was reading the current threads on cheating and wondered if anyone has been cheated on and forgiven the cheater. How did the relationship go thereafter?
I was speaking to a guy who was a gem to his girlfriend, they have a good relationship with no significant issues, yet she cheated on him with an abusive ex she broke up with six months prior -- and did it on current BF's birthday!
She was going through a deeply emotional experience and felt current BF was not being attentive enough. She was also probably motivated by old feelings that stirred when her ex joined facebook and he was getting female comments, some of which she perceived as critical of her.
So... are there "survivors" among you who were cheated on and kept their relationships intact?

I've never been in a relationship, but if the cheater was truly remorseful, and I'd factored in the circumstances, I hope I would be able to forgive them.

I think I would be able to forgive someone if they were truly remorseful, it's not so much the cheating that upsets me but the refusal to take responsibility for it.
I kind of forgave a cheater once who kissed another guy, yaa.. that was probably one of the more useless decisions I've made. She was so very remorsful, felt terrible about it. She felt so bad she waited another 5 whole months before she did it again
I know how I am. I just dont think I would be able to forgive a cheater. It would be something that is constantly 'there' in our relationship. My trust..which I dont give easily ANYWAY..would be gone.

BS. I know mine never cheated again. I cheated once but never again. And I know I'm not unique. People do dumb things sometimes and can grow and change, I don't care what anyone says.
