Fidelity
I can’t understand how someone can stay with somebody after they’ve been cheated on.
I know, people can change, blah, blah, blah… I don’t buy it. Cheaters are like pedophiles. They don’t change. You can’t “reform” or “rehabilitate” them. It’s in their blood; it’s their nature. The sad part is, the reason they cheat isn’t even about love. They’ll tell you it’s love. They may even THINK it’s love. But deep down, they’re just chasing something to fill the emptiness inside.
And there are so many empty people in the world…

So what do you do with cheaters who don’t want a divorce and you don’t want to divorce? Do you work out an agreement? Do you open the marriage up? I’m curious.

Every case is different, and humans can have multiple motivators for their actions. A good example is: Why does Hillary keep Bill around? Perhaps her desire to become President outways any thoughts of a vengeful divorce.
And this one: I think my niece has only slept with one person, which caused her to become pregnant and she had an abortion at 16. He cheated on her but she stayed with him and at 21 she had a baby girl. At the age of 22 she married the guy at a wedding on 7/7/07. I hope it turns out to be a lucky date for them. Such a power is this thing called love, at times.

This is just the rant of a jaded, disillusioned, cynical person, guys. I wish I could go back to being blissfully naive.
I know many people who have worked through the enormous pain of infidelity. I just have HUGE trust issues, and I don’t know that I could ever find it in my heart to forgive a cheater.
Let me re-phrase that; I would FORGIVE, but I would never FORGET, and that kind of mistrust in a relationship can be just as damaging as cheating.
To those who have made it through, I commend you. You have far more strength than me.
