Would you forgive them and work on the marriage? Or would you divorce? What would it take for you to stay? I was having this discussion with coworkers today. Ultimately I think I could forgive them if they were really sorry and nothing physical actually happened. I believe people are human and mistakes happen but I would expect a crap ton of work to rebuild our marriage (which I dont think would be entirely one sided either). Lots of my coworkers were for divorce though. Once a cheater, always a cheater, etc. What would you do? ... Copied to Clipboard!

Situation literally happened not along ago between my ex and her husband. I helped them patch things up. They have 6 kids though, so that definitely influenced it.

There was a time where Id lean toward trying to make things work. But Ive been cheated on hard in the past, and its definitely left some scars, so I dont think Id be willing to continue things once it happened.

The idea of emotional cheating sounds stupid as hell to me. Having a close friend you can confide in is cheating now?? Or is it having confidants while also having a shitty relationship with your spouse? Jesus this world is fucking ridiculous.

I don't know. I don't really get what you mean. They were sexting them and saying they loved them? That sounds pretty serious even if it's non-physical.

It'd depend on if she confessed or I found out. And none of that sincere apology crap matters unless you enjoy getting cheated on.
Then depending, I'd break up. I'm young and won't put up with anyone's shit. But since I'm an a-hole, I'd tell her I forgive her, cheat on her, then if she finds out, break up with her or continue our 'relationship'. That'll teach her. ... Copied to Clipboard!

My wife wouldn't have to take a dick to cheat on me. However, I don't know how I'd react. And I don't know if I could forgive her.
I could live with her though, I think. We may never be husband and wife but we'd still need to be mother and father. --- I think I need a drink. Almost everybody does only they don't know it. -- Charles Bukowski ... Copied to Clipboard!

I feel like if emotional cheating is a thing there is no point in even having monogamous relationships because otherwise you have to be one of those people who think their spouse shouldnt interact with other people

Hard to know if you've never been in that situation, but I'm so insecure that I imagine it would really mess me up. I feel like I wouldn't ever be able to give my trust or my heart to that person again, at which point continuing the relationship seems pointless.

For those who said no:
Love isn't about the ability to deal with the best of what life throws at you; its the ability to persevere when life throws its worst at you. If you can't survive cheating, emotional or physical, I don't think its true love, sorry, my OPINION. ... Copied to Clipboard!

Darmik 01/30/18 9:20:11 PM #27: |
If it was just sexting and she confessed before things escalated further perhaps I think that could be salvaged. That's stopping things before it got really out of hand I guess. I don't think I'd go straight to divorce at least.
But it's seriously hard to decide these things without knowing the people involved and what lead to that scenario. It's easy to say 'Oh just dump them' when you think about some random non-existent person and not a couple who has been together for like 10 years or whatever. --- Kind Regards, Darmik ...

It wouldn't be a matter of forgiving it or not. I'd take it as a sign (and rightly so I believe) that the relationship has no chance of working and I'd want a divorce.

I'm kinda in that situation now. A woman is basically emotionally cheating on her husband with me >_>
No love confessions or sexts (we're living in SEA so it's rather conservative), but she has told me she misses me sometimes and still goes out with me on weekends despite her husband knowing about us and forbidding her from seeing me outside of work (yes we are colleagues too <_<). We say good night to each other everyday and she always uses that kiss+heart heart emoji in our texts.

Dude... why not just find a single girl? I kinda swore off relationships because I'm still a manchild in my 30s. I don't think I'll make a very sensitive or attentive partner and I wouldn't want to subject any girl to a mundane & boring relationship with me. That being said, I really don't know what she sees in me. I'm perfectly fine with staying at home at weekends with my video games but I guess I enjoy her company too so I just went with it. Just lunch & movies in a shopping mall nearby, nothing much. Her husband is giving her the cold shoulder now and she's sad because I told her we should maybe stop seeing each other outside or work. Idk what she's thinking -_- --- "Average Joe" is a trolling term since it's completely an opinion. "Overachieving" is also an opinion. - SBAllen (Hellhole: 52458377) ... Copied to Clipboard!

Telling someone else you love them seems pretty serious and hard to overcome.
I can see the sense in the both of you talking it out and trying to figure out what went wrong and if it can be fixed. If it can't though, at least hopefully you both learn something from the experience. Learn about what they need and want. Also, I feel like if you're gonna forgive someone for sexting and telling someone else they love them, you might as well work in forgiving them for physically cheating as well. --- Posted with GameRaven 3.4 Beta 2 ...

If they're sending overtly sexual messages and expressed love for each other, I have no reason to believe they won't try to take it further. If our relationship was established as exclusive, then they're violating that and it's over.
