How to forgive someone who cheated on you?

Take time for yourself. Don't force yourself to forgive too quickly, especially if you're not ready. Don't push for more than you can take. If possible, try to have a meeting with the person and make sure you let them know exactly how you felt and still feel. After this chat, take time for yourself to decide how you want to approach this. Maybe take some time off and go for a walk or something, just do something that clears the mind. Listen to yourself. This could take awhile but that's okay. Once you've had enough time, you can forgive.

Being cheated on is different for everyone. Sometimes people can look past it and forgive however it’s a little harder for some people. Listening to your heart and intuition is always the best thing to do. Try to weigh out the pros and cons of leaving or staying with this person. Having a positive and healthy conversation with the person who cheated on you is also a good thing to do. At the end of the day you need to really talk to yourself and see what you want and don’t want and what is acceptable and what’s not

I am sorry to hear you've been cheated on, it is honestly a very awful experience, so valid to feel shaken up and lose trust and feel confused about future. It is extremely commendable to even think about forgiving someone who did us wrong, you're such a strong person for considering it, I feel more than for the other person, it is important for us to forgive and let go , because past can't be changed , we can only accept it and learn our lesson and move forwards, however we can take all the time to accept and move past it , no rush . Forgiving helps us feel lighter and open to new things and people in life, after letting old stuff go . Perhaps it would help to accept what happened and then look out for yourself assuring that the worst is over, you're free from someone who wasn't worth your time and efforts and can now make space for someone who is loyal and for you, in between, it is needed to ignite our self love and do things good for us, what we find enjoyable and comforting to us .

One thing to remember is forgiveness is not about forgetting or being okay with what has happened. Forgiveness is about allowing yourself to move forward. Forgiving someone who has cheated is incredibly difficult for many reasons, and creates a lot of feelings that are hard to understand or accept. Realizing it had nothing to do with you is the first step. That this person cheated because they made the choice to do so, despite the ways in which they tell you you may have contributed. We all make choices, and we have to own and take responsibility for our own actions. Second, which can only come once you’ve truly accepted the first, you can’t take it on as your own. Nothing you did or said gave permission to betray that trust, and it’s not a problem with you that needs to be addressed. Only when you can really believe it’s not about you, can you start to forgive. You forgive yourself first, for allowing feelings of doubt and insecurity and you nurture your needs and broken heart. Give yourself the love you deserve, and know you deserve better. Forgiving your partner is accepting what they’ve done, and making a choice to not let it control you. To let the anger and hurt fade, finding a lesson or positive in the situation. What did this teach you? How has it changed you, and if for the worse, how to switch it the positive? Find your strength and confidence, maybe redefining your personal boundaries Forgiveness is for you, and your healthy mind.

It can be really difficult to forgive someone who cheated on you and there are a lot of issues to consider when doing so. First, you may want to consider if this is someone you want to continue to have in your life. Do you want to forgive them and take them back, or, is it more important for you to forgive them in your heart, so that you can find peace and closure to move on and let them go? This is a difficult question, and one that only you can answer for yourself, based on what you believe would be most healthy and self-nurturing for you and your growth. If you decide that you want to forgive them for your own sense of closure but not have a relationship, try to reflect on ways you can kindly yet assertively tell them that though you forgive them (or are in the process of forgiving them) you no longer wish to continue a relationship with them. You don't owe them an explanation, however if you choose to give one, try to focus on why this is the best choice for you, why you think it's healthier for you, what you're looking forward to doing for yourself as you restore your independence. Choosing explanations that center on you, your growth as a person, and your outlook for a healthier future, rather than explanations that reference them or their past actions, is more likely to prevent them from feeling attacked or becoming defensive. So, instead of saying "You're a bad partner for me because I don't feel like you respect me, as evidenced by your cheating", you might try saying something like, "Even though I forgive you, it's really important for me right now to restore my independence, build self-respect, and grow on my own, which is why I'm leaving the relationship." Not only does this not give them control over your mental health, growth, and future, thereby retaining your personal power, but it's also not accusatory, insulting, or mean. It's assertive but not aggressive. On the other hand, if you do want to try for a relationship with them and forgive them, you might want to consider what personal needs must be met to give you the best likelihood of succeeding with both the forgiveness and the relationship. Do you think the relationship needs to be restructured (as open, closed, polyamorous, monogamous, etc.)? Do you think the relationship needs couples counseling for better communication and trust? Do you want to get back together but only with certain commitments in place? What do you need to feel safe or have trust again? What habitual or situational factors lead to cheating (for instance, sex addiction, poor communication, a lack of appreciation between partners, secrets or dishonesty) and how can they be treated, modified, or avoided to decrease the likelihood of problems with fidelity? On your own, reflect on what you think would make a stronger relationship possible again, then ask them to do the same, and meet later to discuss your ideas. Sharing ideas for improving the relationship will help you work together on a problem, and finding solutions to insecurities and problem-areas will help you both feel safer in the relationship, laying a basis for forgiveness.

If they truly love you they will make it obvious and they will regret it after happening. You won't forget about the cheating happening but you can give them another shot.

This page is an amazing resource on how to forgive someone who cheated on you - I read through these answers below and immediately felt better about my situation. I think that the key thing to remember is that you don't need this person anymore after they've cheated on you. They've moved on to thinking about someone else, and you should too. Forgive, forget (even if they don't say they're sorry!), and move on.

You just have to let it go. The past is the past and the only way that you can move forward is by letting go of the past.

Its gonna take some time , because you have to build trust and love again !!! but if you really loved this person then evrything will work out just fine !! :)

Firstly, establish if you actually want to forgive them. Cheating is not good- it means you were off their mind long enough for them to do things with someone else. If you really do, the best thing you can do to forgive is to not ignore any feelings that may arise and try and talk them out with your partner to make them understand that what they have done is wrong and they should never do it again.
