I know this question goes in general terms but since this is relationship forum . This will be in regards to relationship topic. Duhh!
For me personally , I rather know than not. However I've heard stories about couples been together forever and they never caught their significant other cheating/lying on them. Uhmmm, I am kinda 70/100 on this one leaning more to I rather know than not.
Is it always better to know rather than to never know and always wonder? What's your take?
It is often more hurtful to tell a partner about an indiscretion that ended long ago than to take it to your grave. Best not to tell.
However, if you are with someone who routinely cheats, you might want to end things asap. Better not to be made to look a fool or risk STD’s.
You really need to talk to your partner about their opinion on this early on. Ideally, if you go to all the trouble to establish a monogamous relationship, you should agree to keep it that way.
I don't know...I think if I'm happy, than maybe I'd want to stay in my ignorant bliss. But that said, with my first husband, I had an intuition that he was cheating on me, and I was right.
I think maybe that happens a lot...that intuition tends to clue people in.
Of course I would want to know. People should have some self respect.
I know people who just turn the other way and make excuses. After a while, friends of the couple just roll their eyes and get disgusted with the cheatey and cheater. Nobody respects them or wants to be around them. It's really a sad path to go down.
Especially if you're happy, and had no inkling...right?
To me, it's one thing if someone is unhappy because their partner is being weird and shady, maybe more critical of their partner, staying out late...whatever. But what if the other partner is acting the same as always, and you have no idea your partner is cheating?
I don't know...I'm thinking "Why ask for trouble?"

So my wife travels a lot and if she were to hook up with someone I would have no idea, but if it doesnt effect the marriage at all, why ask questions. Thats just me though as I know many would disagree. Ive told her before I dont care what she does as long as I dont find out out about it and she in turn took that as though I was doing the same to her. Im not, but she always likes to flip things around, lol.
