Ha.  One last post from me.  (sorry).  I believe if my husband cheated on me . . . I would be so hurt.  But I love him and want us to remain a family.  I think if he was willing to work on our relationship and do everything possible to make it work----------  I would absolutely give him a second chance.

Thankyou for all your responses.Trying to make a relationship work is hard after one partner has been unfaithful.Family is the most important thing and trying to keep it together.

getitright, there were a number of posts from someone else--------  I thought this was one of them.  My advice still stands but I do not know your story or if kids were involved.  I do think relationships can heal if both parties are willing to work on it.  good luck

Oh, I definately think some relationships recover from cheating.  It is hard, don't get me wrong, but I've personally seen some come out with an even better relationship (more honest) than they had before it happened.  

I especially think that working on things is important when kids are involved.  They deserve their parents to give it their best shot to making it work out in the end.

The key ingredient is that both people really want to make it work.  If the cheater is remorseful and willing to accept blame for what has happened and the one who was cheated on is willing to move past the event and work on the relationship as a whole (rather than always being the victem and never getting over the bitterness of it all)-------  if both give their very best effort to make the relationship very strong and loving------- well, then it is definately worth a second chance.  Good luck if you choose to give him one!  I do hope it works out for your kids sake.

No...If I did decide to take my husband back I will take him to the clinic to get tested for every STD in the book...and then maybe if he pass...then I will take him back...but he will have to work to prove that he loves me, not because the other woman dont want him now or because..he dont have no where to go...I want him to prove to me I am not his last option...and he just know I will take him back???NO dont get suckered...let him work for your love affection and trust again...
