Can cheating be forgiven?

[Anonymous]

Man here who would be devastated. Forgiveness and trust? Not all the way. I look at it like knee surgery. Sure, they can fix the tear but the joint is never the same.

I have a 6 and 1 yr old. If DH chested now I could understand. These are the toughest years. Sleep deprived etc. I think I could forgive.

If the kids were a lot older I may be able to forgive considering what he had invested in all these years.

If I cheated I know DH would never recover.

Neither of us has cheated. So this is hypothetical. I just feel like after everything it takes to make a marriage work, I get that times can be so low, but the question is could we recover? DH and I fight hard and a lot now that we are parents. BUt at at the end of the day have a lot of love and mutual respect and communicate too. But if in these yrs if something happens I can honestly say I was not at my best (attitude wise) and maybe I have to examine the whole picture.


If nothing was off however and he was a compulsive cheater I couldn't move on. I also wouldn't need to know details.

Why could you recover but not your husband?
