How to forgive someone who cheated on you?

Forgiveness is very artificial and not useful in my opinion. After an incident like this, you will certainly be unable to feel the same about them. So, why do we seek to forgive them? To tackle our resentment? To resume interacting with or exchanging things and favours with them? If it is the latter, one could try to do it without letting any feelings towards them get in the way, it is unpleasant but possible. If it is the former, then it can only happen when they and your memories of the relationship become an insignificant aspect of your present. Getting there usually takes time and conscious effort. Your present life and new responsibilities become your priorities and your mind finds it of no consequence to waste any energy on the thought of them, except sometimes as a lesson learnt or if you are alone again and want to self loathe one particular evening, which will hopefully pass too.

Its hard. Its such a breaking of trust with an intimate friend. And sometimes forgiveness can look like never seeing them again but releasing yourself of hurt and anger. Forgiveness doesn't have to include trusting them. Forgiveness can just be a moment you take often with yourself to release yourself of letting them hurting you through memory or into the future. Let yourself mourn the betrayal. Let yourself mourn the loss of trust. And then ask yourself about if you want to trust them again? Can you trust them again. And what do they need to do or say so that you can regain trust. or so that you can forgive them. You can forgive without them apologising. If you are comfortable with that. Because by forgiving them, you will have less bitterness and hatred to deal with, two things that may poison nice experiences later on. Talk it out. We are here for that.

It is difficult, not impossible. Speaking out of experience, do it for yourself. Because hate and hurt, both are heavy. Forgive them for not seeing your worth, forgive them for choosing someone else, forgive them for making a mistake. You don't necessarily have to get back with them after forgiving them. Let them go, along with your pain. It took me a while too, but I came to terms with it eventually. It's like leaving things on time. Revenge just brings temporary happiness or just the adrenaline rush. Be the bigger and better person for yourself. Let it go.

You can forgive a person because you deserve peace in your life and stability of your mind.But this is not easy.You should so courage to forgive and this can be done by thinking that it was just an incident which should not affect your future. You do not have control on your past but you can control your present to improve your future. This incident might have broken you but you can not let your pain to overcome you.You should overcome your heart break from your action which can bring good in you and your surrounding. You should take this incident to improve your strength which will help you to forgive others.

In many relationships cheating is a serious offence, and in most cases an unforgivable action. However, if you are your partner are both willing to deal with the situation then you both need to be completely open and honest with each other. Talk about how you both feel. Your partner may have some feelings to share about the situation as well. Create a safe space to speak freely, if needed you can seek couples therapy from a healthcare professional. Cheating takes time to forgive, and will probably hurt for a long time. But love conquers many things, and if you both fully commit to healing it is possible. In the case that you are no longer together, it's best to talk to those around you that love and support you. Your partners actions are not your fault, and its important to remember that you are worth love and respect.

be the best version of yourself you can be. get that closure you need. and be thankful that they showed you a prime example of what you dont deserve. I think its a very hard think to go through you know? The instant feeling of betrayal and a sour feeling that sits in your stomach. You begin to doubt yourself and really hold in a lot of anger for that person. I think taking sometime to care for yourself and stepping back to think about the positives of the situation can really teach you alot about the situation and help you move forward.

Forgiveness does not mean that you plan to continue a relationship, platonic or romantic, with that person. It may be easy to dismiss completely an unfaithful partner, and in some instances may be the best choice, but there may be underlying reasons that after hearing, may help you heal faster. After the initial wave of shock sets in, knee jerk reactions are not productive. It will be painful, but having a conversation with and actively listening to your partner to hear the "whys" and getting clarity as to why they cheated. The answers may help, but it is facing the issue head on that has a chance of setting you on the road to recovery. We are not perfect, and as noted, forgiving your partner does not mean that you will keep in contact with them - that is up to you.

forgiving is not easy but we live in this earth for short span of life so if we can forgive and move on in life we have so many things to do and be happy instead of thinking of being cheated and hating that person and avoiding them .. we can teach them good things and PROVE THEM WE ARE NOT THE SAME LIKE THEM we have love and we carry from our heart

It's difficult but it's not impossible. I know its hurtful but the most important thing in my experience is not to blame yourself. I asked my ex the questions but I was receiving mixed messages. For that reason I decided to focus on myself. What is it that I want from life and a partner. I started to listening to influential speaks, joined online mediation groups etc. Eventually I learnt sometimes we dont receive answers or closure but thats ok and maybe I needed to experience this to grow as a person. I forgave my ex not for him but for me. I feel more freeier and a better person for it.

remember your self worth.think about how much better you'll feel after you get that hate out of your chest.then leave them out of your life.positivity is key. that's all you want surround yourself with. cut the out of your life because you only want people that bring you up in your life. use this as a learning experiencing, not a painful one. look at the bright side of things. now you wont have someone that makes you feel bad about yourself in your life anymore. take care of yourself and dont hold hate in your heart for future relationships.
