Yes a relationship can work out with a cheater. You have to re-establish trust within the relationship. It can only work if that person is trustworthy. Has that person ever cheated before?

Most people have been cheated on in a relationship. Does kissing someone outside of the relationship constitute cheating? I think it cheating.I have never cheated personally.

I think that cheating can be forgiven if you are not married to that person. I wouldn't forgive that person if we were in a marriage at that time. I would personally seek a divorce.

If I was cheated on I would wonder why she did it. I probably would wonder what i did wrong. However I wouldn't excuse her actions. I think the decision to cheat is a personal one.I would hold her fully accountable.

I think there are many reasons for cheating. I think the main reason is unhappiness in the relationship for whatever reason. I think the other reason is boredom.I think the cheater might want to experience someone different.

Cheating can also be forgiven if the cheater doesn't catch any sexually transmitted diseases. The relationship would be doomed if the cheater contracted HIV. the person would be forgiven by me if they only cheated with one person.I would forgive the person if they were honest. I wouldn't forgive them if they tried to lie about the affair.

I think that it is almost a natural thing to cheat on someone. I think it may happen after at least a year into the relationship. I think the relationship would probably take a year at least to be repaired. I think a long term relationship is worth a try.

I am the type of person that hates looking for a girlfriend. I also feel everyone makes mistakes. The punishment should fit the crime in a relationship.The ability to forgive that person will depend on the strength of your relationship. You have to have a strong foundation to move forward in your relationship.

I think the person who was cheated on has to have a strong sense of forgiveness. They have to want to save their relationship. They have to feel like they have something invested in the relationship. They may have invested money,love,time and emotions. You can never get these things back. All of these things are important from me in my relationships.

The person who cheated has to know what was invested in this relationship. They have to be willing to invest their own time,money,love and emotions.
