Forgiveness can come in a lot of different forms. We can forgive them by respecting that they made a choice that changed and shaped their life. By thinking of a time when we ourselves were impulsive and irrational. Forgiveness doesn't have to be staying with someone who cheated on you, it doesn't have to be staying in contact. It can simply be an acceptance and a release of all of the negative emotions we have. I learned long ago that forgiveness is actually not for the person who hurt us, but forgiveness is for ourselves. Let that negative energy and emotion go, and you yourself will walk lighter.

Speaking from personal experiences the best way to forgive someone who cheated on you is to first accept the fact that it actually happened , i was in denial for days when this happened to me and somewhere deep down it feels like it's our fault , that we are not good enough , but buddy that's not the case i assure you that :) So after you have accepted that someone had cheated on you , now accept the fact that you are amazing as you are and THIS has nothing to do with you , this is all on the other person and their choices and decisions :) After we have ourselves in a much clearer light , things become a little easy to look upon and reflect, nobody is perfect but we try nonetheless :) Reflect upon yourself and how you can make yourself better , engage yourself and over some period of time you'd see for yourself that forgiveness for the other person comes from within and on it's self. All you need to do is just breathe and let it all flow/run it's course first !
Hope that was of help :D keep smiling and be brave :)

Forgiving is difficult for most of us. We feel betrayed by someone we trusted. Something that you could do is sit down and think about the incident to see where things may have gone wrong. Try to determine what it is about the betrayal that affects you the most. After that has been determined speak to the person about it, if possible. Tell him/her how you feel and exactly what it was that hurt you the most. If you cannot speak to the person, try writing it down or practicing the speech in the mirror. Writing and verbalizing helps to release the feelings that we have inside. Actually say, I forgive you for ... This should help you feel better.

You have to remember no one is perfect and you did nothing wrong, don't blame yourself in the situation.
It's all on them. Never beat yourself up over something like this.
Remember that everything will be okay, it just takes time.
I've been this kind of situation before.
You'll get through this just fine, no worries. Just try to relax and love yourself. You are better off without them if they decided to treat you so badly like that. You deserve love and respect, not to be treated like dirt.
Never think otherwise. Everything will turn out okay in the end, just you wait

Being cheated on someone is an absolute horrible feeling. Especially being cheated on by someone whom you trusted your life with. The first feeling is betrayal when you are cheated on so forgiving that person is definitely not on your list. However forgiving someone who cheated on you is possible with the correct steps. Personally, the best way to get over that betrayal is not bottling your emotions as these feeling and emotions will eventually build up one day and you will explode. The first thing to do is letting all your emotions out. Keep the next few days for yourself. Sometimes it may seem very hard to go out and carry on with life as usual but it is possible. Once you’ve let your emotions out, you need to take care of yourself physically. Take a shower, spray on some perfume, do something you love, watch a movie.
The next step which is very very difficult is reasoning. It is extremely important to listen out for the other person who cheated on you. This way you will have some closure and also a beginning point from where you can carry on.
After some time, you will eventually feel the pain begin to lessen, it will still be there but one day it will not get as much. You will cry one day but the pain won’t be as bad anymore. You will reminisce the days and be grateful you got to spend them days and have them fun times. And because of that forgiving that person will be much easier. Forgive. It will lessen the pain and the burden you hold.
Thank youx
Hope everything goes well x

You have a couple of options, the two main options being forgive them or don't. If you're trying to forgive them you have to know that both of you are in it for the long run. Look at everything beforehand, how long have you two been together? Things like that. If you two haven't been together for a long time and they've already cheated then maybe they aren't committed enough to the relationship. If you've been together for a long time and they cheated then it's up to the both of you to decide the steps from there as to how you're going to make it work.

Decide whether you should forgive the cheater. This is the most important step. Before you try to make things work, you have to decide whether it's worth it. No matter how much you love your significant other, you should know that forgiving a cheater may be one of the toughest, most emotionally taxing things you will ever have to do.Take time to cool off.Don't blame yourself.Have an honest conversation.
If you still can't forgive your significant other, then let go. It takes time to forgive an open communication would help to sort out things. Talk through it. Don’t overstrain or stress on it or what happened.

It is very difficult to forgive someone who has cheated on you. If that person knew that it would hurt you and still chose cheating, he/she doesn't really deserve to be cheated. At the same time it also depends on how that person cheated and if you can accept it and move on with it. It also depends on how much you want to get back to the person who cheated you. Sometimes its just too hard to forgive but too easy to forget the mistake they make. That's when forgiveness and moving forward comes into picture. If its impossible to forget the betrayal and are really hurt and feel used, its not worth forgiving. Live a happy life and look for someone who treats you right and who cares for you.

Cheating is a great way to lose trust in someone. My ex-boyfriend cheated on me and I can't trust him the same ever again. The most important thing to remember here is that you want your relationship or friendship to be healthy. In the case of cheating, I would definitely say taking a break or breaking up completely is a good idea. Each situation is different, though! To forgive that person, I would say the number one thing to remember is that they made that choice and it isn't because of you. They learned a lesson from making that choice. If they choose to do it again, then it isn't your problem. If they are sorry and have learned a lesson, then that's a good thing. I find it was easier to forgive the ex who cheated on me when I broke up with him and we became just friends. Then, I could trust him as a friend but I don't have to worry about him cheating on me. If you are looking to forgive them so you can stay in a relationship, then have a conversation with them about trust and maybe give yourself some distance from your significant other so you can figure out what you want to do about it. I hope this helps. :)

First of all you have to be proud of yourself for loving and trusting someone so much. If they cheated on you, it’s their loss. There’s so much more in this world to see. Forgiveness is an act of bravery. Once you believe in yourself and accept and once you’re at peace with yourself you will start growing. Forgiveness will come from the heart. Let go of all the things that hurt you. Learn from them and know that everything happens for a reason. Once you accept yourself the way you are, everything will fall into its right place.
