How to forgive someone who cheated on you?

If you think they deserve to be forgiven but you are having a hard time doing it, try and understand why they did it. Ask them questions and get the story straight.

Keeping a grunge against them is only going to harm your well being. It's only going to make you think about the person all the time, when you probably don't want to, It will remind you about the time he/she hurt you. Forgiving them is like freeing yourself from those bitter hurtful memories and moving on.

first of all, ask yourself if you even want to forgive that person who cheated. if you do, it shouldnt be very hard, but just try to spend time with that person and see if you can forgive him?her.

Talk with them about. Let them know that them cheating on you really hurt you and let them warm your trust and forgiveness. It'll take time and if the person is worth your forgiveness they'll wait and earn it.

Firstly, know that forgiving someone does not entail that you HAVE to get back with said person or even allow that person to hold the same spot in your life again. Forgiveness is to let go. The rest falls into place after.

It hurts, it kills, it pulls you apart, it confuses you, it scares you, it shocks you, but most importantly and the most shadowed part of being cheated on is that it helps you grow. It teaches us that we are worth more then what we settle for, we deserve the best. Being cheated on will never be easy or explainable in that sense, it's most often more painful then bringing let go. But those who cheat on us don't know us, they are at loss for the love we are able and willing to provide. Forgive them for they have helped those of us who have felt the pain conflicted by them to realize that we are worth more then we set our selves up for. Forgive them for it is their loss and hopefully one day they too will grow and learn the value of love, life, emotion, and self worth of not only ourselves, but how it is so easy to affect the self worth of another.

You would have to build up a trust with them all over again, but why should you forgive them? If they cheated on you then it was their loss

I think that getting to the underlying reason of why they did it is very important, and seeing if those reasons can be fixed.

If you don't want to forgive them, you shouldn't. You can only forgive him/her when you are ready for it.

Not everyone can forgive a breach of trust like that, and that's okay. If you are willing to try, it's going to take a lot of time, communication and effort on both parts. Be honest with each other, and see if you can find a third professional party if you don't feel like you are getting anywhere.
