Love is always a delicate topic. And in cases like this, Though we find it hateful that someone you loved so dearly could do something like this to you, Your love for them still makes you forgive him. Been there, Done it. But what do you do when they do it a second, a third time? Would you want to still forgive them? Thats when you realise that all along you were wrong to give them a second chance , even a third chance. Never degrade yourselves for a unhealthy relationship. Moving on is the best option. Though all of this is easier said than done, I dont want to see anyone going through such hurt again

Yes, if you love him, you should give him another opportunity. We are human beings and can make mistakes, never let go of your happiness because of 1 mistake give him another change and tell him what he did wasn't fine by you, hopefully he will change. Patience is required. Good luck!

If I had never experience this personally, I would say "no way!" The trust will be gone. However, this has happened to me recently, and I love him dearly still. It would always be the trust issue that would get in the way.

Depends on the circumstance. Is it just a relationship? Are you married? With kids? You truly love him? Was it a one time thing? Who was it with? These are some deciding factors I think. Personally I believe there is no excuse for cheating in any of the above situations. It is not an accident no matter how drunk the person is or whatever. It doesn't "just happen". People say cheaters never change and it's sad to think so. But if that's the case I encourage any woman to be the man about it and leave. You can do better and you deserve better. He will only go downhill from there.

I have always gone with the initial notion that if someone cheats on me then they don't love me. They are looking for someone better, or more compatible. It doesn't mean I'm a bad person or that I'm a bad girlfriend. It just means he wants something different, his values are different or his desires. I had one guy chest on me and I never looked back. Hardest decision of my life. I cried a lot. But after a couple months I was proud of who I was and I found someone even better. When someone cheats, it's an opportunity for you to move on to someone who you can trust and love for the rest of your life. You don't want to be constantly paranoid with someone because you don't think they're being loyal. Because that isn't love in my book. You should be appreciated for who you are. Not someone they want you to be.

Only you can really make that decision. Many people believe that a significant other that cheats cannot be trusted again, but it depends. If you truly believe they regret their action and think they can be trusted to not repeat it, a second chance might be worth trying.

No. Cheating is one of the most immoral things a person can do to their significant loved ones. It can only be forgiven in extreme cases where the cheating occurred due to some special situations. Once a cheater, always a cheater.

No, you should take baby steps and wait to see how he acts. If he cheated on you once, the possibilities of it happening again is very high.

If I really love him, Yes I would, but with a condition that once he cheats on me again it will be over for us. Because he already did it once and then followed by another one that means he will be capable of doing it for the third, fourth, fifth, and to the nth time.

There is so much to consider with this. Is this the first time? Is he truly sorry? Are you willing to forgive him and start over in your relationship? If you can answer those questions, then you can answer that question for yourself!
