This is an easy question...when there are no kids involved.
Imagine having built a 15 year marriage with a woman, having had kids with her, bought a house with her...everything.
And then she cheats on you?
I don't know how I could handle that.
It's why this whole finding a good wife thing is important.
If I can't find a good woman...I'll gladly die single.
I won't be forcing things. That's how you end up broke and alone at 50.
Couple still divorce even if there are kids involved. My husband for e.g. his case was they just had a kid actually not even a year old. 5(?) year marriage, bought a house with his ex...everything.
There is no cheating involved. Although he said the confrontation started when his ex's ex bf called their house. Then it escalated and they divorced.
Really all depends on the circumstances behind the cheating.
Was I neglecting her needs? Did she tell me her needs were not being met and I failed to listen or do anything about it? If this is the case then I would have no one to blame but myself.
However, if needs are being met and everything is great in the sex department but she still felt the need to fool around with someone else then I think I wouldn't be o.k. with it since it was cheating for no good reason.
A one time unplanned/spontaneous thing under extenuating circumstances I could forgive. Any repeat offenses with the same person would clearly be intentional and planned, and I would not accept that.
Even though we have an open relationship, there are rules and boundaries, so cheating is still possible. It's just far less likely because there is no reason or motive unless the relationship has really deteriorated (in which case it would not be worth saving).
Those who forgive may take a long time to gain back trust, or go through the same trauma over again. Personally, I cannot accept betrayal so its unforgivable. I don't cheat on my partner and I expect the same from him.
