If your mate cheated on you, could you forgive?

    alcohol does not make a person do what they would otherwise not do; it simply lowers the barriers to enable them to do what they think they can get away with.

    I agree 100%, they were thinking about cheating before the alcohol or the alcohol wouldn't have made a difference. The betrayal is not the act but the thinking that they can get away with cheating.

    its only my own perspective but I find it comforting to have trust and be trusted in a relationship...after 17 years I can honestly say I love my wife as much as I ever did..as I said ...just my own experience....

    I could forgive her easily, but I would never trust her again. Because of the lack of trust jealousy would develop. Jealousy destroys more than just trust, so I would divorce her while we could still be friends.

    Respectfully,

    I mean has everyone here only had sex with people they loved?

    Nope. More without by far.

    Did you never have sex with someone you had little or no feelings for at all.

    Nope. Usually didn't care about them at all and it was mutual. But it never happened while I was committed to being monogamous with someone. Tempted yes, but a little voice kept saying to me, "how would you feel?".

    btw, is it you who wants to forgive or be forgiven?

    I think much of this is just a generational and geographical cultural gap thing. I dont believe that people who chose with their partners to be monogamous forever and make that work are wrong. I think it is admirable. But for me - I'd have to marry superman to make that kind of agreement.

    Thanks for the info twitch.

    btw, is it you who wants to forgive or be forgiven?

    I'm just entering the spirit of debate. I havent had to forgive anyone yet. And yes I have been forgiven. It meant a lot to me and made me love even more deeply.

    Fair enough.

    I don't mind a good debate. Can be a bit dicey on certain emotional subjects, no?
