I'm guessing someone cheated on you? Do we need a reason to forgive or not forgive someone for cheating?
That's all well and good if they decide they want a healthy, faithful relationship after cheating, Alexis. They can pursue that relationship with someone that isn't me, as they destroyed any semblance of trust I may have held for them at that point.
I cheated emotionally before with my ex. I didn't ever do that again. So that once a cheater always a cheater thing, is bs in some cases and so shouldn't be a rule of thumb when dealing w this stuff
If you really loved someone I'm sorry more will try to make things work. Not just have some cut dry answer. That's why I think ppl who say "once a cheater always a cheater" are wrong bcuz that's not always the case. Some ppl may only do it once and come clean about it bcuz they know they messed up & doesn't wanna hide things nor let go. As for your next question op you can't have just one answer. It deps on the relationship, age, and just the person. Some may stay bcuz they don't wanna start over or be alone. Someone might say bcuz of hope that things may turn around. A person may not feel gd about themselves and thinks they can do no better than what they have.
I guess having feelings for someone else... Makes you think tho. Say you are getting busy with your partner but the whole time you are imaging its someone else... Is that cheating to you?
