    Out of curiousity, would you forgive your partner for cheating on you? Not the repeat cheating thing, but let's say you two had a huge fight. Your partner went off, got drunk and slept with someone s/he knows. But let's assume it was a honest mistake and your partner confesses to you soon after, the next or the day after. Would you forgive your partner?

    that's a tough situation. i dont think the relationship would ever be the same again after that. it would take a really long time to get the trust and security. i cant say yes or no to this one. there's never an excuse to cheat but this is one of those scenarios that you want to say no i'll never forgive him but at the same time it was a one time thing hopefully so you want to stick it out for a bit to see what happens.

    Once a cheater, always a cheater? Gotta be someone who you truly trust. It depends on personality. And also, gotta remember, a woman might "forgive" but never forget. NEVER.

    Aye, if there was no sexual activities involved... then sure, why not?

    Depends on the relationship, im more willing to give him another chance if we've been together for a long (and i mean looooooooooonnnnnng) time and no sexual relations were involved. But one thats not too serious, i wnt 4give.

    agreed^^^ like if this relationship has lasted a really long time... i might be able to say i forgive but the incident will never be forgotten and no matter what she does i will never be able to look at her the same again.

    wow, i was just thinking about the same situation this morning. This is one hard desicion. If that person come straight foward with the problem, and the relationship been good and all, i would reconsider a second chance. everyone make mistakes and deserve a second chance. and thats that. ESPECIALLY when he comes to be about it right after. I would want a second chance too if i did that, not to say i would =)

    once a cheater always a cheater.

    ask yourself this question. would you let your children be around a child molester a second time even though he confess about molesting kids and is truly sorry?

    i dont care if she mistakenly have sex, unless she's pregnant. but if not, who cares? it's still her, notin really change. a stain cant be wipe off, but it can be ignore and still continue on as if notin happen. Feeling angry can only destroy the relationship and cause both peoples pain. As long as she still got me in her heart, it's alrite.

    its funny how men are usually more willing to forgive than women.

    Starting to think of it... it's true. Maybe we just love them so much, that we can't lose them.
