Am I crazy for wanting a relationship with a cheat?

I’m sure in a small percentage of cases, those who cheat once will go on to be faithful from that point on. It depends on why they cheated in the first place. If this is a situation you’re in, why did your partner cheat? What excuse did they give and is their reason valid in your opinion?

I’d say in most cases the chances are the person will cheat again. You know the old saying “a leopard can’t change its spots”?

There are a lot of people who have an understanding in their relationship where either partner can fool around on the side. These vary from an occasional dabble, to having a full on secondary relationship to others that are on a “don’t ask don’t tell basis.”

It’s really between you and your partner as to what works for both of you.

So, use your words and talk to your partner. Share your concerns. Lay some boundaries for yourself on what you will accept and what you won’t.

Be ready for more heartache.

Yes you are crazy.

Yes, you’re crazy.

Yes. There are so many decent people in this world. Why would you want to stay with someone who has betrayed you?

I think you are in for a world of heart ache, but you do what you must.

For me, trust is like a light bulb. Once it is broken it’s lights out.

It can’t be agreed upon to never happen again. If it were that easy to fix, don’t you think a lot less people would be getting divorced each year?

It doesn’t matter what we say because it seems like you’ve already made up your mind anyway, but ask yourself 2 questions….1. Do you really think he (or she) would be sticking around to be with you if you had been the one who cheated?
2. How long can you live with the voice in the back of your head that will be questioning what they are really doing every hour they’re late?

Never say never. It completely depends on the nature of the circumstances and the persons frame of mind when this happened. If the person was in a good frame of mind when it happened and was not honest about it then it’s likely going to happen again. Otherwise try to put yourself in that persons shoes and think about what made them do it. I have known a couple of people who cheated ( not me) that were not in a good place mentally but showed sincere regret and went on to be completely faithfull.

Yes, you are.
Oh, god I hope you don’t do it. Don’t do it, don’t do it.
