If someone cheated on you would you take them back or would you call it quits for good?


I can tell you that in this case I would forgive I have before and maybe I am just too nice or naive I don't know which one but I have done it more then once. Generally I give people 3 strikes then there out. Unless its something horrible...

Not all people who cheat are the typical "cheaters". Sometimes cheating can be the result of a relationship in a bad condition, and can be a symptom, not the reason for the demise of a relationship.

Although I likely would NOT put up with a cheater, it would be because of knowing ALL THE FREAKIN' EFFORT I had put into the union, having talked, tried to elicit communication, read, refer to experts and friends.... If a person cheated on me and I had done everything in my power to grow the relationship, he'd be gone.

Now, I see all the time about this "once a cheater, always...." crap. And one strike and he/she's out. So, what did my parents have that YOU ALL don't? Were they nuts or stupid to reconcile things? They had love, family, commitment, and they CHOSE to get to the root of the issues that led them BOTH to cheat on each other at one point in their relationship. It wasn't easy; sometimes downright horrid to deal with each other for quite some time. Did they ever do it to each other again? Nope.

Some folks can handle this breach; some cannot. Some CHOOSE to handle it; some choose not. Big difference between those who have no character or backbone and those who do a stupid action once and regret it.

i doubt i will

Three strikes unless it's something horrible? So a guy can cheat on you three times before you dump him but you draw the line at what? Murder? Beating you to a pulp?
