Can a relationship heal after cheating?

Question

Just curious on anyone who’s been cheated on or has been the cheater. Please voice your opinion down below.

Answer

Yes, it’s possible. 
I was the one cheated on, 6 years ago now. It takes work, from both sides. It’s hard, draining, mentally & emotionally exhausting. But, I’m my case it was worth it. We’ve got married 3 years ago, had a baby last year, having another this year. We’ve overcome a lot.  I’m thankful, for everything I’ve learned. I firmly believe, once a cheater always a cheater is not true. Men & women can change if they truly want to. 
It took about 2 years to overcome trust issues and be happy and confident.

Answer

As the person who stayed with a cheater, never again. Cheating, lies and infidelity, it’s like a piece of paper that’s been crumbled in the palm of your hand, the lines of deception will always be there and will always be in the back of your mind and you will feel like walking on eggshells in your own skin because you will doubt everything they say and everything they do. Are they really working late, are they saving women’s phone numbers as men’s names or coworkers in their phone, are they gonna stay in touch with them, they don’t stop what they are doing they just get sneak ear hiding it eventually they get caught again. By you staying that’s telling them that not only is a behavior acceptable but that you will tolerate it when they do it again because you don’t want to be alone and they now know they can treat you like a dorm at and disrespect and do the minimal because you allowed it. They know that you don’t wanna be alone and they can get away with murder. I would not recommend it, I see it every single day in my office, divorce, custody, child support, I can tell you stories one after another of infidelity have come through my door. From long-distance truck drivers who had one family with five kids in their home state, and we drive to another state all the time he had a whole other family there with kids and a woman, I’ve seen the client who had a boyfriend that lived with her but he also live with a neighbor downstairs. I can go on and on.

Answer

I was a chronic cheater, super damaged individual. I definitely destroyed MANY relationships with that. I was worried about doing the same with my now husband so I started working on myself in therapy (cognitive behavioral) and have learned my usual triggers and how to combat those urges. It's work but not impossible. I've seen many couples going to the same therapist with cheating being in their past and they all seem to be making progress. I personally feel that IF a couple wants to try to stay together after something like that, outside professional help is needed. If they could've worked it out just as a couple, it wouldn't have happened in the first place.

Answer

Yes it just takes work n both parties willing to forgive.

Answer

Yea but it takes sooo much work that most people arent willing to do especially the cheater.

Answer

I made the mistake of staying with someone who cheated on me… And we both put in a lot of work. I required full transparency and he did everything possible to show me that I could trust him and I never did again. That trust, once it’s gone, it eats away at you and changes who you are as a person. You become a different version of yourself because they did something so horrible to you that you don’t ever come back from it as long as you stay with them. It doesn’t only break your heart but it prevents you from fully ever believing a word they say ever again
And anyone who says that they 100% trust their partner after being cheated on… Is not fully telling the truth. They may trust them but they don’t trust them fully. Because at the end of the day, they know that it is possible that that person could cheat on them again.

Answer

Yes but it's very hard. Even after the cheating stops you might be resentful or lack the same respect you once had. Both sides will have to do work. It takes time and effort. Maybe even yearsss. But it is possible.

Answer

For me. No. Not possible.

Answer

Yes, of course but only if you do the work as a couple to get to the root of the problem, fix and heal. It takes time, commitment, transparency and work.

Answer

Yes it can if both people put the work in, sometimes a relationship can heal after infidelity. 
I've never had that as a personal experience, I just read about it, like in Ester Perel's work.
