How to forgive someone who cheated on you?

This can be a very long process, because it's not just that you got hurt. Trust, the very foundation for a healthy relationship, was breached. Mending it back takes time. Take it slow. He/She must be willing to do all it takes to rebuild it. Seek some counseling.

Forgiveness comes when you are ready. Look after yourself first and foremost. Forgiveness, if you choose to forgive them, will be a result of healing. So focus on you first.

This is a hard one, as I've never been cheated, at least that I know of. Anyway, if you truly love the other person and believe he/she is trully sorry and committed to be entierly faithfull to you, then it becomes a little easier to forgive. But every situation is different, the circumstances that led to cheating can sometimes be less bad (they are always bad, though), while in other cases, like if is repeated, it's harder to understand and thus forgive.

You can only really forgive someone else if you can forgive yourself. Love them for what they gave you in life, be grateful for the good and then let them be.

Try thinking of it as a past event. Tell yourself that everyone deserves forgiveness. Not giving them a chance will just fill your heads with thoughts of "what if"s for as long as you can remember. Try giving them a chance to explain. See their side of the story. Then make your call from there.

You must forgive the cheater in order to have peace for yourself. It will be the hardest thing you feel like you have ever done. The truth is, either you forgive the cheater or there can be no more relationship. You may never completely forgive the cheater, and it will cause stumbling blocks throughout the remainder of the relationship, but it will give you healing to forgive.

If someone has cheated on you, you have to remember it isn't your fault. When someone cheats, it's because of their own internal issues. There is no rush to forgive, give yourself time, think through everything and know that when you choose to forgive, it is for your peace of mind. Forgiving does not mean staying with the person. That is another choice you'll have to make through your experience and knowledge of the person. Only you would know if the person is worth another chance.

Forgiving someone for cheating on you is definitely one of the hardest things anyone can do. For me I just took time for myself and then when I had come to terms with it, I had a conversation with the person about it. It's never easy but I find that forgiving the person was very helpful in terms of moving on.

It depends on what you're forgiving. If you mean the hurt you felt at feeling inadequate, maybe investigate if that is even true. Many people cheat without really thinking it through. If you feel violated and cannot trust the person, that isn't always something that can, or should, be forgiven.

Forgiving is one of the hardest things to do when someone has hurt you. In my experience you have to forgive in order to heal. Take time for YOU, as much as you need to process your thoughts. When the time is right... when you healed some you will be able to forgive.
