If someone cheats on u should u just leave them or give them a change
Save your "free cheat card" for a rainy day.

In order to know virtue, you must first become acquainted with vice.

En vis mann slår aldri en hund i klubben med en stokk, fordi hunden vil vende rundt og biter mannens ballene av. Get rid. Even if he primses he's never gonna do it again, was the first time and a one off, you're still gonna be paranoid about it for the rest of your relationship, and without trust there is no relationship
My opinion's not going to be a popular one, but I think in some instances, it's worth a second chance. I'm not a fan of leaving a situation just because it gets difficult. It can't be fun and games all the time.
If you love him, it might be worth the effort for you both to try and fix the relationship. If it's still not working, then it's time to leave.
Depends on the person, sometimes I think it's worth it to give the person a second chance. I have cheated on a bf on the past, granted the only reason was because he was abusive and I was scared to leave. But he found out and held it against me. If there's no trust in a relationship then it can't work. There was a reason I treated on him, it was a bad relationship and it should've ended when he found out, but it didn't. Maybe it's worth fixing if it was a one off mistake and there is still some trust. But if they have been cheating on you repeatedly with the same person or many partners, there is a reason and I would say leave him/her.
For me, I would cut bait and move on. Self respect intact, and no wondering about whether or not there will be a next time.
My ex husband cheated on me after 15 yrs of marriage. I couldn't keep loving him in the way I had done before. He looked different to me if you know what I mean, I couldn't bare for him to touch me. I stopped liking him as a person and for me that is worse than losing trust. I couldn't live with someone I didn't like.
Maybe if you could give us more details about what happened to you, then we can give more advice about what to do
In light of the Tiger Woods ... explosion ... it's a very current topic over the watercooler.
from personal experience ... a man who is IN LOVE with you, committed and respectful to you - may look at another person, but would never cheat - because YOU mean too much to him.
Sex is just sex. Love is something different. Men and women can argue around that forever ....
I always think of Paul Newman's well-repeated comment about lovers/women coming on to him. (For those who are not aware, he was married for 40 plus years to Joanne Woodward - in a very tough industry- film) He said - why have a hamburger when you have steak at home? ok ... I know Primal will say something about that ...
So give him another chance? personally, I wouldn't, because he doesn't respect you or himself. I prefer a man who has self-respect. I prefer to live in the real world; not one that is based on lies ... cuz you'll never get the "real story".
Good luck ... and hope all these opinions assist you in some way to making a livable choice for yourself.

Merc, I think Lisa's point was that you can never really know the true "why", which would make your poviso irrelevant.
Personally I do think a single cheat "instance" is survivable. I do, however, question whether or not a relationship should just be "survived" rather than "cherished". If your aren't looking for a relationship to continue to grow and become more fulfilling over time, you've already "settled" for something less than ideal - so who cares if one party or the other cheats? *shrugs*
To me, the only reason for cheating, regardless of "how it happened" is somebody is at least partially dissatisfied with it. A fulfilled relationship would never involve cheating.

forget them. if you want a relationship with them, forget it, you'll never be able to trust them again, no matter how hard you try, and thatll make yall fight a lot!!!! with no trust theres no relationship. of course if you want to keep him around and use him as a sex pet, well, thats a good idea, but dont try to make a go of a relationship. youll be wating your time and heart and energy!!! follow your gut........and go get his best friend....lo ;)
