Relationship Q&A

Question:

My boyfriend cheated on me. Now we're trying to work things out but the pain still keeps coming back. Can you actually let go of the past? from Missy

Answer:

This is a difficult one. Some people can easily forgive a cheater, but as the saying goes, once a cheater – always a cheater. I don’t blame you for finding it difficult and feeling pain every time you think of the situation – no girl should have to go through with that. Maybe taking some time apart to assess the situation from afar might be the answer for you at this stage.

  • i know it sounds harsh, but do u really want to be with someone who cheated on you on the first place? i know somtimes these things apparently happen, but if he cheated, whether or not he does it again is irrelevant - he did it in the first place. You deserve better than that

  • i was with a guy for 2 years and then the same scenario occurred. we tried so hard to stay together, but something like that affects and crushes your relationship so much that you really can never recover and it sounds harsh, but it's even too hard to be friends after a love that strong is lost. find the strength to move on.. good luck and blessings

  • leave now , even if he wont do it again he stil had a point in your relationship where he did not resect you!!! how can you thrive where respect has been lost... would he be so forgiving if you had a " lapse in judgement" and cheated on him?

  • Exactly the same thing happened to me, and I had no idea whether I could leave him or not. I found the best thing was to sit down and talk about it and tell him honestly how you feel. I told him that me staying with him was to show how much i actually loved him. Its the worse feeling in the world, and I wish no girl had to feel it. Good luck
