NO. Because once a cheater, always a cheater. It also says in the Bible that no one is truthful except GOD. From experience, if someone has cheated and they do their hardest to get you back and you take them back, the chances of them doing it again are real high. They know what it takes for you to accept them back, they may figure out a way to cheat more discreetly, and they also know what to say and do to make you believe that the cheating has stopped. (I'll keep doing things my partner wants me to do even though I can't leave my other partner alone). He or she knows that they are under a watchful eye.

What would make someone think that their partner would stop in the first place? Is it because they said sorry? Or is it because they take care of them financially, physically, emotionally? Then you want to know why it happened, so in turn you try and make things better, by trying to keep that unfaithful person happy, when all you're doing is making it worst on yourself. Anxiety and paranoia settles in, cause you try so hard, but nothing's changed.

Some people are just greedy. For no apparent reason at all, they'll cheat, even when they tell you that they stopped doing it. It's a compulsion that can't be controlled, most likely they were cheating on someone when they met you. Sometimes, it's hard to let a cheater go, but in the end, it's for the better. People stress themselves out, because of unfaithfulness. The victim most of the time blames themselves for the cheating, even though they were faithful from the start. Or maybe you cheated, and out of spite, your partner started cheating.

Once you start cheating, it's hard trying to keep it under wraps, but when the cheater is caught, they feel a since of relief, and keep doing it, because the consequences weren't that big of a loss. And both of the victims are still willing to try and make things work. They can deal with the arguing, and the lack of trust. The chances of someone actually breaking up with a cheater is real slim. Because everyone convince themselves that things change, and that they can't live without that person.

So to sum it up, NO, they'll never be faithful again. And get out while you can!
