I have been cheated on, on a few occassions and even if it's just a drunken kiss or fumble, I won't tolerate it. I am 100% faithful and would expect the same from a partner.

No I could never forgive or forget. My 'lil story involves my ex sleeping with numerous guys where she worked after we had been together 7 years. We got together when we were 16 so I guess I was half expecting it ..... but I didn't act on opportunities I may have had. Why are people so weak? Why can't people appreciate what they have? Why do people think the grass is greener? What are they trying to prove? I've been single for a good few years - unable to trust women at all. So I voted No. AND IF YOU FORGIVE SOMEONE FOR CHEATING ON YOU "YOU ARE AS BAD AS THEY ARE!!!!!!!!!" That only justifies something you may have done!!!! Unfaithfulness is UNFORGIVABLE.

In my experience, you can never really forgive completely. You can want to and feel most of the time like you have. But at important times, when 100% mutual trust is important, it will not be there. Remember how you felt in the first few months? The profound feelings associated with the anticipation of meeting and embracing? with a clear mind and 100% devotion? Well cheat or be cheated on and that feeling will never ever fully return.

best to move on, even if it feels like floating into an abyss...

to me in a time where sexual union is 9 times out of ten not with virginity in tact to be faithful is all you have left that is sacred in the union to cheat is the lowest n most harmful of all betrayal forgiveness comes with understanding but the trust is gone n hurt is all you see nowt down for it!!
