Forgiving/Unforgiving

Kylta

If your husband/wife/partner was unfaithful to you
Would you forgive them?
Maybe their are kids, mortagages etc involved?
Would you be unforgiving with them?
Would you pack up their gear and kick them out.

I'd start a thread on Boards looking for advice.

Someone's taken up the baton from mr fegs.

My wife found out I was cheating after she found the letters I was hiding.

























She got mad and said she’s never playing Scrabble with me again.

Not looking for advice, its a question, and i'm amused that when you ask certain questions on boards, how posters are reluctant to answer them for some reason, but I also am aware you dont have to reply to posts either. But thats just my opinion.

If your partner is riding someone else it is nothing to do with forgiving or forgetting. It is over. Move on.

Its impossible I have to dig both of them up, and their in the clay along time. If your interest in doing that you have my blessing (won't say the family be happy). I can give you the plot numbers and the graveyard if you so desire. Actually are you MrFegs?

Maybe ask to join in and bring a friend.

I was cheated on one time, it broke my heart. It also broke me heart to send her packing. It nearly broke me mentally, only a friend who was my boss at work kept me together. I feel bad about the women I used after that. Looking back I was emotionally unavailable at times. I'd blame myself to be honest. Married to a lady now, if she cheated I'd have to ask why, we have a wee lad and he is the priority. I have unreal respect for single mums however there is stuff he needs to learn that only I can teach. Breaking the family would be a last resort.

Depends on the circumstances. If I'd left him without explanation after a bump on the head and a case of amnesia, and he moved on in my absence and I came back to rekindle what we once had (I've been watching a lot of Hallmark movies lately), then yes.

If he did it because the opportunity presented itself and he didn't care about the consequences to myself and our child, then no.

In-betweeny circumstances will be decided on a case-by-case basis. But probably a loud NO to any excuse. Kids are better off with parents who live separately and civil instead of parents cohabiting while loathing one another, I'm guessing.

Cheaters can pack up their own gear and find the door themselves. I wouldn't be making things easier.

Look the deal is if he is going to shag someone else then tell his trusting friend and lover first as to do otherwise is to demean them. Give them an opportunity to unshackle from him with dignity before the sweaty session. If that is too big for him to do then I would forgive on one condition. That I get to shag other people at least as many times as he shagged her or my best guess thereof, and then we can (maybe!) resettle after I have that out of my system. If he does not agree to that condition then no forgiveness. Hehe.

Earthhorse

It would definitely depend on the circumstances but for the most part I would say I wouldn't be able to forgive it. I can barely forgive spelling mistakes never mind infidelity.

I think this is one of those things you couldn't really know until you were in the situation.

I know it's childish but I'd be the same. I'd have to do a lock of harm.

If the cheating party apologises, begs your forgiveness, says it was a one-night-stand, promises never to play away again..... Don't believe them. Trust is like a clean white sheet of AFour paper. When that paper has been scrunched up, trampled into the mud, wiped somebody's backside, it will never be the same again. Neither will the trust. Believe me.

It is not childish! How very dare you!

We have to remember we're all human; someone can love you a lot but at the same time, fall victim to their own impulses, their need for excitement and novelty. I would forgive them and find peace with their decision but it would be the end of the relationship.

But the sad reality is that over time, relationships do change. No matter how hot you are, eventually, the thrill and sheer sexual attraction will fade.

Forgiveness and trust are very different. If I was walking on a bridge with someone and they pushed me off, I may well forgive them when I was recovering in hospital but I do not think I would ever walk on a bridge with them again... Yet that would mean I had not really forgiven them?

Also in a deeper way you forgive to heal yourself not the other person. Holding on to hurts creates bitterness that does not affect the abuser.

Pherekydes

When I found out my first wife cheated on me I knew my marriage was over. Forgiveness never came into play.

Plus, she never asked, so why would I?

I do not like to have hard rules on how I would react to events that have not happened yet. Context would be everything.

However in my relationship communication and honesty are infinitely more important to me than fidelity.

So if after an infidelity she came directly to me and told me it happened - how why and where - we would be in a strong place to work through it.

If it happened and I found out myself somehow weeks or months later - I could see very little coming back from that.

Surely you would allow her the time to put back on her knickers and comb her hair? :pac:

But its not really about sex, its about the fact that its betrayal. If you fu¢k everything that moves thinking your going to get back at your partner, (it might not even bother them) it might give you pleasure but it doesn't and won't hide the fact that an act of betrayal has taken place. And no matter how much spite or reconciliation that goes on, the trust is broken and doubt will always follow their actions ie. Going to a do/golfing/ out with colleagues etc

Probably. But ach, it would be worth the trying

When I was much younger and when I was in love TBH I'd probably try to work it out, but since my 30's no way, I'd look to my own behaviour to see if I was a factor in it, but regardless I'd scrape them off with extreme prejudice. Plenty more fish in the sea who aren't untrustworthy whores.

Trust is everything. I’ve never cheated or been cheated on to my knowledge but I couldn’t imagine having the will or want to remain in a relationship where my OH has cheated.

Trust is the very foundation on which relationships are built and if trust is gone, i imagine it’s quite difficult to keep liking the person as well as trusting them... not simply a standalone trust issue, will you still like the person, see them in the same light, I can’t imagine I would or could . I wouldn’t stay in a relationship if I’d been cheated on... I wouldn’t necessarily be throwing the good china around the sitting room, it would just be goodbye and good luck.

Jesus Wibbs. Do you have some anger issues?

Anyway, I'm in a lucky position that I've never been cheated on (to my knowledge), and I've never cheated. Don't get me wrong, I've found other people attractive, and been in situations where things could happen, but trust and love are very important, and that's it for me.

But relationships differ, as do people.

I would find it very hard to stay with somebody who cheated on me. Would question a lot of things afterwards.

How do you know there are plenty of trustworthy people out there Wibbs? It's impossible to know, given the chance I think a huge amount would cheat if they thought they'd get away with it or actually had an opportunity to do so, of course none will admit to that, I know I'm cynical after what I discovered after over 20yrs with someone but I think I'm being realistic tbh.

To answer the OP,I'd never forgive or forget and I'll definitely never trust 100% again.
