My boyfriend or girlfriend cheated on me, should we break up?

First things first, respect yourself always. Often it is hard to know exactly what to do immediately after you find out what has happened, and sometimes people rush into decisions. No matter your decision, though, remember that whatever happened is NOT your fault, and there IS someone out there who will not break your heart in this way. Respect yourself

If your partner cheated on you, you should do what is best for yourself. You're the expert on you. Don't let yourself get torn up over this situation!

People breakup for many valid reasons. If you're asking whether you should leave your cheating partner-- then that is something only you can decide. Cheating can be extremely detrimental to the relationship and the other person. You have to ask yourself "How much am I willing to put up with? What am I willing to tolerate?" In relationships, at one time or another we may all be guilty of doing something or saying something we regret. While we are all imperfect beings, cheating is one of those things that shouldn't take place. But speaking from personal experience, it's one of those things we have to dig deep down and answer the questions we may or may not fully know. Are there any underlying issues to where the cheating partner that there was no way out? Perhaps some people just cheat to cheat with no regard for the other's feelings. In that case, it's selfish. Perhaps the cheating partner felt their emotional, sexual/physical, etc needs were not being met and they sought that in someone else. While it is still wrong, who knows. Communication is very important in relationships and I do believe cheating is one of those things that couples can come back from. It's so easy to tell someone "yes, leave that cheater for what they did." But what is this really saying? Did forgiveness just fly straight out the window? Where is the mention? If you are willing to forgive your partner and take them back and stay and work through the problems, them great. If you decide this one time mistake of infidelity is one you can't tolerate, then that's what's best for you. What someone else may be able to forgive may not be true for someone else and that's ok. It's your choice what you do, but please know you deserve to be happy. Aside from the infidelity this time, how was the overall relationship? Was there more good than bad memories? You've got some thinking to do, my friend, but I am wishing you all the best! ♡

Yes, you should.If they did it once, they would do it again.A relationship is based on mutual respect above all else and if they have cheated on you it means they don't respect you enough.

Do you think you can forgive him or her? I might not ever be able to let go of the pain and take him back

The best thing to do is talk through the situation and decide on whether you can trust that person enough to go forward. Always do what makes you happy, do not follow through with something if you are unhappy or unsure.

YES. You should not be with someone who cheats on you. You are way better than that. I think you should breakup

How important is sexual exclusivity to you? Do you have the will to rebuild the trust, which is hard work? Have you talked about why they cheated? Do they still have feelings for you? All of that are factors that can change the decision. In the end only the both of you can decide.

what you think are they had really cheated you once you should ask your self then take decision its all up to you its all in your mind

Yes. You deserve better than that, especially is you have given him/her more than one chance. Once a cheater, always a cheater.

Not necessarly. maybe you can both sit down and talk about what happen to see if there is anyway of forgiving each other to move your relationship futher

Maybe you should talk to your partner and ask him or her why he she did it and later think about your happiness

Yes you should. A cheating partner will always cheat no matter how many chances you give them. Only 1/15 second chances work out

ask your self what you want, talk each other about the reason why he\she cheated on you. take your time , forgivness is always the hardest part

I think you need to double check, maybe triple check, that that's what exactly happened. After that, talk it through and decide what is best for you

That’s a personal decision only you can know the answer to. There is no right answer here, and what we each experience in our lives will lead us to different outcomes. It’s easy enough to say “YES, of course!!!” But depending on your circumstances that answer may not be what’s best for you. Look at the facts. Look at your partner. Decide what to do from here. This is not an easy process, nor is it something that comes without faults. There will be work to do on both sides, and rebuilding trust as well as self esteem will be the forefront of the situation. If staying together, working through this challenge is what works best for you and your personal circumstance, then be patient. Be kind, be forgiving, and be honest. If this is the choice you make, give each other the best shot at success as possible. If you choose to leave, then care for yourself. Heal yourself and take the time to learn to love who you are and what you encompass as an individual with a new experience to grow from

You should focus on yourself, give yourself the value you really deserve, the love you really deserve.. get fullfilled. get emotionaly healed.. once you get it you are ready to move on...remember "New good things only comes to your life when you get rid with the old and bad ones"

That all depends on how you feel about the situation. Honesty and trust are one of the most important things to have in a relationship - along with communication. If you have a feeling that he / she can't be trusted or honest with you, then that will probably hurt you even more in the end. Sometimes cheating can be worked out - everyone makes mistakes. But if it's brought up later on in a fight or a repeat action, it could become unhealthy.

Depends on your situation. If you are willing to work with them and still love them, there is no reason to break up, but maybe a break is needed.

Well i think breaking up is not the solution. Until you know that he is acutally really sorry for what he/she did. If they are asking for a second chance and really loves you. Then you should give it to them

This always depends on the type of your relationship and your personal feelings. I think there is no defnitly answer to this question. But you should defnitly speak with your partner about the incident.

I believe you should. Absolutely no one is worth being disrespected and deserves to feel that way. There is always someone who will treat you better!

a relationship is a bond or a link made with trust once its broken you have lost the relationship theirs no meaning of braking up after that

Decisions such as a break up is hard to make and I am sorry that this has happened to you. I don't think anyone would like to be cheated on or have their heart broken. Talking things through with another persona can really open the door to the answers that we are looking for

Depends on how you both feel. Talk about the situation and figure out what is best. Once you come to an agreement follow it.

My answer is yes, because they might take it to advantage that you didn't break up with them the first time you cheated, so they might cheat again; knowing you're not going to break up.

First, you should have an honest conversation. Forgive, but don't forget. You deserve so much better.

In this type of situation it is completely up to you. Once your significant other cheats it's really hard for them to earn your trust back. But, if you want to be with this person and you are willing to work through it with them then, do just that. Good luck! :)

If you feel that you two can't recover from it, then the relationship should end. If you're willing to work it out with your partner and try trusting them again, you should do what's best for you and take baby steps

There is no general rule, because it depends on so many things. Every situation is unique, every relationship is unique, every love is unique. So There is no should. It is a betrayal of your confidence, yes, but the why's, the how"s, and everything else matters immensely. So talk about it, and think about it sincerely within yourself, and whatever decision you end up with is okay. Forgiveness is not weakness, and breaking up is not coldness or hard-heartedness. Just make sure the decision is comming from within you, and that you"ve taken the time to listen to your partner. Be kind. Be empathetic. And Love and value yourself.
