....could you forgive them? Under what circumstances could it be forgivable, for you?

We're all human. Forgive and forget. I did.

Nope. Trust is gone, that's it. Shattered pieces of pottery aren't the same even if you can glue them back together.

To me, forgiveness benefits the one doing the forgiving much more than the one who committed the transgression. I would forgive. But I would also divorce him. I firmly believe in once a cheater, always a cheater. There are only 3 reasons I would ever divorce: Abuse, Addiction and Adultery. Any of those would be absolute show stoppers for me.

Maybe if they were really drunk and it was a one off thing where they kissed somebody really quickly.

2nd degree cheating.

Anything like sex or a blowjob that takes time to think about and perform or like spending a year getting to know and fall for some other dude while they are supposed to be dating me is inexcusable.

And punishable by death!

I think by forgive he meant remain with that person.

Forgive, yes.
Forget, no.

She has said she isn't the type of person who would do this in a relationship and I have taken her at her word. I could forgive her on the basis she is a human being and we make mistakes. I could never forget she put her needs above our family and went behind the backs of her loved ones.

Trust would be gone. Relationship over

I would move on in life without her as my partner. I ain't got no time for wishy washy people who don't know themselves and preach they are something they are not

A breach of trust hurts, there's no denying that. But it's not the end of the world. Humans make poor decisions sometimes. "Mistake" is not just an excuse. It's a human characteristic. Trust can be rebuilt.

In some types of relationships, trust can be rebuilt, depending on the breach. But cheating in a romantic relationship? Nah. Not for me. That level of dishonesty and disloyalty indicates major character flaws.
