If you would have asked me if I could forgive someone who had an affair and cheated on me, ten years ago, my response would have been a definate, "NO". As I have started my family and I am getting older, I am starting to realize that life is too short to label anything as "unforgivable." Every situation is different. If one's spouse commits adultery then he or she is going to have to determine their course of action for themselves. There may be serveral underlaying factures in the marriage that have led to the affair. Some may see it as a wake up call and a chance to make changes to fix the relationship. Others, my not be able to work through the affair and may choose to end the relationship, but the bottom line is that life is too short to hold on to bad feelings. An affair would be something hard to work through, but if possible, it would be better to let it go: whether through divorce or relationship repair.
