I must look to the heavens and express a little gratitude. Why? I've never (knock on wood) had a significant other cheat on me (well...at least to my knowledge.) So, my opinion on this issue is a little slanted but hey, isn't that why you read this because I have opinions?
Cutting to the chase: do you take a cheater back?
Now, I'm talking about the person you've been in a relationship so long that you can't even remember what life was like without them. This isn't just someone who you can or want to chuck easily. This is like life and death and sugar and spice and...I have no idea where I was going with that but you get the point.
As already stated, my advice does not come from a point of personal experience but rather a point of logic. And, my answer is, quite simply, no.
I do believe in the power of apologies and forgiveness. Trust me, I do. But, I also believe the level of trust that is breached once a person has cheated is irreconcilable. When a person cheats, the non cheater in the relationship could possibly have leverage over that other person and you can't live in a relationship with one ups. Meanwhile, the cheater spends the rest of the relationship's lifespan trying to prove him or herself and gain back the trust that they so easily tossed out the window.
Conclusion: cheating is a relationship's ultimate death sentence. Get ready to walk to the electric chair, folks.
And, so as not to end on such a morbid note, keep it in your pants unless your bf/gf tugs at your belt.
Love freely,
tY
