How to forgive someone who cheated on you?

This is not personal at all. Realize you were not a variable when the decision was made. It's a breach of trust. Can the trust be mended? That is where forgiveness lies

When someone cheats on you, your mind and emotions scream at you to hate, punish and never forgive. It's hard to let go of those feelings. Nonetheless, forgiving someone for cheating will actually benefit the faithful person more than the cheater. The anger we feel after infidelity is like a poison that lives in us. Ask the person why and everybody makes mistakes maybe if you try talking to them you're figure out why and you may want to start over with them

Forgiving a significant other that cheated on you is a difficult and strenuous process. It does not happen overnight and it takes effort and time. I don't have a straight answer on how to forgive someone who cheated on you, it differs from person to person, but what helped me was putting myself in their shoes and really trying to walk through the ups and downs of our relationship. "Villainizing" a person only causes you more harm and furthers playing the "victim" role which is not very empowering. For me it was empowering in taking responsibility for my actions of neglect and trying to empathize with the pain my ex was going through. I know it may sound unconventional, but you will be amazed at what forgiveness can bring. Holding onto negative feelings of resentment hurts you more than it hurts them.

This is a difficult question, and sometimes, not everyone is able to forgive someone who cheated on them. A lot of the time people say they forgive them but they actually don't, and a good indicator of this is if during an argument for example, you use it against them even after saying you forgive them. Talking it through with the person and finding out about the circumstances around the situation can sometimes put your mind and ease, and other times it can make it worse -it's different for every person and there is no correct answer.

The one who cheats is just weak and cannot be loyal. Imagine they are helpless in front of their desires, just like sick addicted person. We forgive the sick and the weak, We forgive ourselves, We search for our happiness and move on

If someone cheated on you, the first thing to realize is that is wasn't your fault. It's a weakness in your partner who couldn't keep their feelings to themselves. Forgiving them is less about letting them off and more about self-healing. Forgiving them means you are moving on. You are acknowledging that you were hurt but that you are healing now.

Forget and forgive. Walk away. Never lower your worth just because somebody couldn't pay the cost.

if you want to forget him and move on you have to forgive him. take it in positive way that he thought you a lesson not to trust someone blindly and he also gave you chance to find someone better then him

I think you need to redefine the relationship more fairly. The worst parts of cheating aren't the sex with someone else. They are the lies, loneliness, and usually the fear of losing someone you thought you could trust to be with you for the rest of your life. If the cheating was only about the sex, and they still seem to want to keep the relationship going, then you should consider opening up the relationship to new sex partners and learning to be ok with what is good for the goose is good for the gander. Understand, as sexual beings, we are all needing this to fulfill our lives. So sexual curiosity and openness in a relationship should be granted if you really care and love them as you want them to be happy. However, if you are being more selfish and scared, in that mindset you will only be thinking of yourself and your own pain rather than the happiness of your potential mate. So, if you really want to forgive them, you have to let go of the fear of losing them, your own selfishness, and understand you cannot change the past. All you can do is go forward and try to keep loving them until you can know the relationship is over. Although, this is really the most difficult path in a relationship and in a way a path less traveled. So, by breaking up and finding yourself in a better loving environment to help you heal your wounds that you received would be far far easier. So I guess, in conclusion, this really depends on 2 main factors, how much you really love them and not being selfish or using them, and how much they really do care about you and not using you. The more love there is, the easier it will be to care about them, and eventually forgive them if they really care about you. The less you really do love them or the more selfish you are, the harder it will be to forgive them. Thank you for asking this question.

First it's important to free yourself from blame. You cannot control another persons behaviour or thoughts but you can your own. Focus on your own needs to heal and allow yourself to speak about your experience and feelings. Take one day at a time. Writing a reflection journal is very helpful and after each journal write yourself a reply (being kind and giving yourself a pep talk)
