Is it normal to forgive a cheater? would you?

I honestly wouldn't be able to forgive or trust him ever again and I'd just wind up shutting him out of my life.

Once someone has cheated in a relationship, it is over. Either you become swingers, or you split up and find someone better.

I think I can in time with the aid of prayer and discernment forgive someone for hurting me, but that forgiveness doesn't need to include reconciliation. I think the thing to do is to leave a cheater and not look back, then forgive the cheater when one feels ready so as not to be burdened with the emotional baggage. I hate the assumption that people make that forgiveness means one must take a person back.

Forgive, but don't forget. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me.

I could forgive a cheater but I wouldn't forget and there in lies the problem. I from that point forward would probably question everything and always have doubt in the back of my mind. Which ultimately would destroy the relationship if I didn't leave them for cheating.

​Another thing...get to know who you truly are deep down at your core and not only accept it but embrace it and fucking fight for it. Because nobody else on earth will, not because there aren't loved ones who wouldn't want to, but because nobody can know you as well as you know yourself. It's all you have in life. You need to be that, be true to yourself and make no apologies.

​​Forgiveness? Sure, of course. We all make mistakes and all deserve a second chance.
But most of the time, cheating reveals a much more complex issue regarding core value compatibility.

Furthermore, is he apologizing because he was caught and now afraid of facing the consequences of losing you, or the stability and identity that your presence in his life has provided him? Does he truly love you or is he scared of being alone? Does he truly value who you are or is he comfortable? A lot of people in the world wouldn't cheat if they had ass handed to 'em on a silver platter, no matter how tumultuous their relationship might be at that time.
If you think you're one of those people, then you're probably just incompatible with this guy and it's time to move on.

Yes, unless it's serial or incredibly dangerous. And as long as they are honest about it.

It depends on the situation. Were they drunk and made a mistake, or were they angry and dicided the best way to deal with it was to fuck someone else?

Dont be fooled by some idiots who might think "Once a cheater always a cheater"

People have chances to change. If the person truely changes for the better, then yes you can forgive them if you want.

I said "Probably if it was only once", but I mean something a little different by it. I'd be like "Oh, so you don't want to be exclusive? Alright, we can try that." But if they managed to break my trust in again in the new arrangement, at that point I'd have to consider the relationship a failure.

Yeah, of course. It'd probably take a little while man but I'd forgive. I can easily see the relationship not progressing any further though.

I may as well. It would probably be my fault anyway.
