Cheating Spouses: Will You Even Forgive?

Would you forgive your cheating husband? If you do, what are the chances of them repeating the same "mistake"? If you repeatedly forgive your husband, the chances of him cheating again are great.

If a husband cheats, some women think they do deserve forgiveness one time. They look elsewhere because there is something amiss in the home. Maybe there are problems with communications. Maybe there is no sex, appreciation or even affection in the relationship.

Maybe they want to be heard now and then. Women tend to ignore the issue, feeling like the man is just being irrational. Should all the blame be put on the head of the cheating man? If you are hurt, nothing gets better when there are trust issues in a marriage. Women and men deal with problems in a relationship very differently.

Women either talk about it or brood on the issue until the matter is resolved and/or addressed. For men, any matters that are unsettling should be dealt in silence or look outside the home. Many feel they won't be caught and feelings won't get hurt. Yet, when they are caught, things are even worse than before.

Forgiveness for a one-time affair should be given nevertheless the harm is already been done. If the act is repeated then there is no respect for the other party. If the husband repeatedly cheats then it calls for a look at the situation that will never get better.

For this reason, once is good enough. If your cheating spouse is truly apologetic and needs have been talked about, the matter should never occur again. If you forgive you also free yourself of the pain. However, if forgiveness is given repeatedly, then it will keep on going and never be addressed.

Leave your spouse if they are constantly cheating. You should never feel rejected, neglected and unloved. It may not be easy to get over a cheating husband but you never should feel second place and used.
