How to forgive someone who cheated on you?

I would like to start this off by saying that you don’t owe anyone any forgiveness if you don’t want to give it. I think that’s very important to remember. I also think it’s important to consider the context around the cheating, how badly it affected you, and how much trust you had that person to start with. If you want to be with them, you should try to work out some ways to build that trust back up again, otherwise, it will be hard to look past, and you guys won’t ever really move on from it. Hope this helps!

I believe everything happens for a reason. But when they happen to you it’s really hard to think in a straight way that everything happens for a reason and better things are coming. when someone has cheated you it’s really hard for you I know. But it’s really going to be not easy for you moving on with a grudge. You don’t forgive that person because they have asked for forgiveness. You forgive them for the sake of yourself and your own mental peace. Tho it seems hard but slowly slowly you accept the things that has happened to you and tell yourself that you deserve the best and its time to let go. That’s how you forgive them.

Cheating is an extremely hard pill to swallow! But, forgiving your unfaithful lover certainly does take time. But when you do it, your heart feels lighter and you eventually get rid of any negative emotions against them. Its always best to forgive them, and move on. If you believe in Karma, It works best for such people! Sometimes, The Universe and the almighty takes care of them, without us putting any effort to get revenge. You may feel enraged, heart broken, and depressed at first at your partner, but for how long?? Someday you'll need to forgive them!!!! That person will feel embarrassed to even look at you if you haven't forgiven them. So Forgive and Forget! :)

The first thing to remember is that when you forgive someone you are freeing your soul from being slowly poisoned to death. It is never easy to forgive someone especially when they have cheated on you. I'm sure you'll probably never going to forget this negative incident. When my girlfriend cheated on me, I first thought that I was lousy that's why she wanted someone else. Through time, I learned to love myself more, I stopped blaming myself for the fall of the relationship. I believe it is best not to have the victim mindset, or make your ex an enemy. All these would inevitably evolve to become your life baggage. To the best of your abilities, let go, and be free!

Forgiveness is not given so the other person can feel better, forgiveness is given so you can finally get some peace in your mind and some sort of closure. Forgiveness doesn't mean forgetting everything that happened. The best thing about forgiveness is you can actually feel better about yourself and this can help you move forward and grow as a person. Besides, life is too short to live while holding grudges. Enjoy every moment and learn from the whole situation so you won't end up in a similar relationship with someone else, and finally forgiving the person that cheated on you will help you move past the whole situation because getting cheated on doesn't mean you are not enough.

Forgiving is one of the hardest things to do... I feel you need to realize your self-worth and know you did not deserve what happened to you. Do not feel guilty! You need to accept the fact that this person hurt you! It is not easy to forgive someone and it will be really hard to. Remember you can forgive the person but that does not mean you still date them. Time works wonders and coming to realization with your feelings will take time so try not to rush it. There are no instructions or directions for forgiving someone. That's a personal choice and decision.

Just try to see the best in him or her who have cheated on you. Try to recollect all the good memories and moments you shared with him/her. If you really love that person it’s very easy to forgive that person. Life brings in lots of ups and downs, just think we are all imperfect humans and due to that persons imperfect behavior he or she ended up cheating. By forgiving you will get a peace of mind for yourself as well. If you are not going to forgive you will always carry that baggage in your life. So to leave the baggage behind it’s best to forgive

I can imagine exploring this question can be very challenging in a situation where a relationship is falling apart. You may want to reflect on your partners reasoning and try to understand the why’s behind what they did. Is there any regret or compassion from them towards their infidelity? If you were in their place would you expect your partner to give the relationship another chance or be accepting of wanting them to end the relationship with you? Once you both have an genuine, open and honest chat with each other maybe the possibility of forgiveness will be more open. Please do not feel pressure to forgive. This feeling must come through naturally and not forced. Maybe ask yourself if you were to forgive what would that mean for you and your relationship? You can also look at this the other way: If you were not to forgive what would this mean for you and your relationship ? If wanting to give the relationship another shot ask yourself why? Both parties need to heal. The individual who cheated and the individual who was cheated on. Emotions in such circumstances can be of confusion on who you have given your heart to and not knowing much about partners boundaries . A discussion on boundaries with your partner may in this way be needed. Choosing not to forgive and wanting to end things on good terms can mean showing gratitude for the joyous memories you both shared. Thank you for reaching out!

Forgiving someone can help you find peace within yourself, sometimes we have to accept the apology we'll never receive in order to forgive and move on. You don't have to forgive them personally, but forgiving them inwardly can help you start to let go of what was done to you and work towards a better future for yourself. This helps you reflect on what you need from a partner and helps you learn so much about yourself and your needs. Forgiveness equals moving forward and forward is the motion that encourages positive emotional growth. Forgiveness is healthy and builds strength.

It's hard to forgive,but in the end it's better to just let it go because it eats up your mind and soul. People who cheat often don't have guilt or remorse and barely care about anyone but themselves. Think of them like a small child doing a mistake, because their brains don't work well enough to communicate and try to solve the problem but instead they cheat. You can't go around holding a grudge against people with such a mindset as it's just a waste of energy
