Ballerific Relationships - Can A Cheater Be Reformed?




What defines cheating to you?

To me cheating is doing something that you can't/won't tell your significant other about or won't do it around them. It's feeling guilty about doing something that in your eyes doesn't matter. It's when you go out looking for something that you already have at home. It's giving your all to another person when someone else has already given you all of them.

Cheating is the ULTIMATE betrayal.

Can a cheater ever be forgiven? Even if that person has showed/expressed to you how sorry they are and how much they wished it never happened in the first place. They could have told you the whole story of what/how it happened and how sorry they are. Are you willing to forgive them? Are you also willing to forget the situation?

I believe in second chances. I believe that every mistake deserves to be forgiven but not forgotten. I believe that every person that has made a horrible mistake is not a horrible person. I don't believe that the statement 'once a cheater always a cheater' is accurate. I say that because I was once a cheater.

Yes, I have cheated on an ex before. I won't say it was for good reason because there is never a valid reason to cheat on someone. I will say that it was wrong and I regretted doing what I did even WHILE it was being done. After revealing what I had done to him and the relationship he forgave me but he never forgot and that was the breaking point of our relationship.

He did forgive me and he showed me that he did, at first, but ANYTIME we got into a heated argument he would say "If you're not happy you can go back to ol' boy". I HATED hearing that. We could have been arguing about who was the last person to put gas in the other person's car and it always came back to me cheating on him. I know it was wrong but for him to throw it up in my face all the time was annoying. So, i left.

That was the breaking point of our relationship.

Now that I have experienced what happens when you cheat and what happens when you are cheated on, I do better. Now I rationalize before I do anything irrational that will ruin a relationship. Now, I will leave before I think about having relations with anyone else.

I consider myself a "reformed cheater". I know a lot of you won't agree but I would love to hear what you think.

I don't agree with the "once a cheater always a cheater" either. However, once you have been betrayed by a person it's hard to get over that. I know it is for me. What the "cheater" CAN do is learn from past experience, like you did, and know not to take that into his/her next relationship. But trying to rekindle a romance after trust has been lost...good luck with that. It's just messed up when the one that was cheated on had to be the one to get hurt in order for the "cheater" to learn how to do right in future relationships. The newbie(s) get to reap the benefits of your pain.

idk i dont really care u cheat once s*** is over, im not really tryin to find out if a cheater can be reformed, honestly the best way to tell how someone is gonna act in the future is to see what they did in the past so if u were cheatin in the past there's a good chance ull prolly do it again. i know women tend to be more lenient but as for men we tend not to give second chances and for good reason.

@mrs. denbeigh - he ain't reformed. He just has one too many pics of him in those damn jeans up to his chin floatin' around....

I agree once a cheater always a cheater, once a hoe always a hoe, you can't change people. If you cheated on me with so and so, you move on to the next man or woman what makes me think you wont cheat on them?

@Ord G, you men can't stand it and NEVER give a second chance. She's out the door & locks changed, credit cards cancelled before she knows you know. LMAO
But women keep giving 2nd chances and that's why the once a cheater always a cheater applys mostly to men.

IDK, i'm just convinced that all men cheat as long as women keep throwing themselves @ married men. Men only cheat b/c they have options and opportunity. I don't cheat. If he cheats Im gone. it's not what I want for myself. But hey, what do I know.
