How to forgive someone who cheated on you?

Honestly - sometimes you can't... But not every situation is the same and sometimes context makes a difference here. There's a checklist maybe you can apply to the situation with your partner and see if it helps you get any peace. First, are they naturally a cheater or was this a one off? Because some people take their relationships seriously and others don't. Which category does your partner fall into? Second, can you cope with being in a relationship with someone you know will easily do it again? Do you want it have to deal with the lies and the excuses and the pretence? Can you trust them when they're at work or out with their friends? Third, how many times did it happen, that you know of? Fourth, and this might be a deciding factor, did you find out because they told you or did you discover it for yourself? And fifth, were they, to the best of your knowledge absolutely honest about what happened? If they fessed up immediately and appeared distraught when they related the news, that says a lot about how much of a mistake they know they made. Ultimately it all comes down to whether or not you can trust them after the event. If you can't, maybe think about walking away. Trying to keep tabs on someone isn't the best way to navigate a relationship, all of which come with their own unique challenges even when you're both faithful. And remember to protect yourself and your esteem levels; being trapped in love with someone who runs around on you can have seriously detrimental effects on you as a person and might leave you with baggage you don't want to bring into future relationships. Give yourself a break, put yourself first and then decide what is going to work best for you with this person. Remember, you can't change a person but you can change what you're willing to live with.

It is never easy to forgive someone who cheated on a relationship, whether it is a formal agreement or not. And the idea of whether the person cares or not about what h/she will make the idea even worse. We forgive the way we are forgiven. To forgive is necessary for ourselves alone, so as not to continue carrying the pain. When a person finds it hard to forgive cheating, understand and acknowledge this idea- this bad feelings can be the reason for bad actions which results to regrets. Giving yourself proper space to heal from the pain of cheating will help a person form the forgiveness the situation deserves.

I think that it may be hard to forgive someone for doing something that can really destroy you. I feel that forgiving shouldn’t be done because you should treat yourself with the highest respect. I think that is possible to move forward and move on with your life in a positive manner. I think also for many people it maybe hard to get into a relationship again after being cheated on but It’s really important to keep an open mindset. So i think that instead of forgiving you let go which in a way is forgiving but it’s also knowing your self worth. You should never believe that you should be cheated on or that you deserve it.
