Think of what you two meant to each other before it happened. Think about the weight you carry and hold on to by keeping their negative actions towards you in your heart. Let go even if they don’t want forgiveness do it for yourself

Don't focus on what they did to you. Focus on comforting yourself and moving on. It's not about what they did but you accepting and realising what it did to you and what it means.

This can be highly dependent on the situation and what exactly happened, but you should be asking yourself why you are asking how to forgive them. Are you supposed to be forgiving them? Some say that cheating is the ultimate deal breaker. Just be careful and listen to your heart the best you can, because your gut will tell you!! :)

that will take time and a lot of work to forgive someone for cheating on you. keep in mind that forgiving them does not mean you have to like them or what they did to you, also that you do not have to stay in contact with them. you just have to let go of the person for what they did and move on with your life. that is forgiveness... being able to bring peace into your life by letting go.

This is very tough on you and your esteem - I know because I've been there (: I can tell you that by forgiving that person, you will actually do yourself a favor. See, if you don't forgive them, it doesn't make a difference to them. It only limits your productivity and social interaction. Accept what happened, close that person like another chapter of life, place that chapter aside where it'll get buried under layers of dust, and move on (:

Learn to forgive and forget, if they prove themselves to you, meaning they prove their love for you, then they simply made a mistake. We’re all human and we make mistakes.

This really depends how guilty is the person feeling after being cheater. The trust would be very difficult to build again and take years. Depends on situation and the reason of cheating if forgiveness is deserved and also on the length of the relationship because if it has been done in early stages say couple of months, then I wouldn't personally bother with someone like that. If its 5 years of relationship then all you can do is talk about it.

If you keep the anger, frustration or hatred inside yourself then those negative feelings won't harm that someone even a bit but on the other hand you will be the one feeling that pain again and again. So instead of keeping it inside, just let it go.

I don't think I would be able to forgive someone, but if they proved they wouldn't do it again and proved their loyalty towards them, I might give them a second chance.

To forgive is to settle with an issue and move forward. In relationships, trust is set between the couple in which is the basis of feeling comfortable and confident with one another. To forgive someone who has cheated on you will enable for you to forward as well as understand that what happened has happened and cannot be undone. Although emotional pain may be present, the only way to move forward is by understanding and forgiving otherwise it would remain an issue.
