What is your opinion if you found out your partner cheated on you? Do you ever think there is a valid reason to be unfaithful? Is there any room for forgiveness and trust that your mate will never cheat again?

been there done that....cheating is obviously wrong and there is absolutely no valid reason to be unfaithful....none at all.....if you don't like where you are then leave, unless that is, somone actually does have a gun to your head....

I do however, belive that people can change.....I absolutely belive that everyone (within reason) deserves a second chance.

People can change. No little kid in kindergarden says I want to grow up to be street bum, and lose my family due to alcohilism.

On the flip side some people who have fallen, recover/repent and have wonderful lives.

I like your answer..this is very true. Especially if you are the cheater and you know deep down inside that you were wrong and really want to change and make things work.

I always had a hard time when people would say once a cheater always a cheater..i think thats false in some cases.

This phrase is usually chanted by the jilted/cheated on, or the rationalizers who cheat and want an excuse for their actions. Is this person making efforts to change. Are they remorsed at their actions. It's one thing to simply say "I'm sorry", it's another thing to examine why it was done, and seek to correct what led to it.

Optiflex,

Exactly. It then becomes a process, it can take years to salvage the relationship because you have to gain this person's trust all over again and this person has to prove themselves as well.

When one cheats and is genuinely sorry, I think in many cases, if you work hard enough, the relationship can work..it just takes time.
