I don’t care what the circumstances were or how much alcohol influenced their actions; I could never forgive someone who cheated on me.
I know people will say that I’m not being fair, but here’s the whole catch with being cheated on:
If someone cheats on you and you both talk about it, and “figure it out”, it doesn’t mean that’s the end of it. No matter how much you talk about why it happened and how it will never happen again, the trust that existed before the cheating happened will never return. You might be able to start building it back, but in reality the question of whether it will happen again will always be there, lingering.
What’s really difficult about this situation is that not only is it unfair to the person who got cheated on, but also to the cheater. If the person who got cheated on pretends that they’re okay with things and the doubt is still there, then they’re not being honest with the cheater. In this situation it’s best to just dump the unloyal companion or go out and cheat on them to get even. These are you’re only options!
