had it done to me in the past, forgave as he could charm his way out of anything, but he carried on doing it again so we broke up. That was then.

Now?

No-one is going to make me feel like that again, I would take great pleasure in smashing up the truck, the flat screen, the quad, all of his fishing gear, putting wood glue down the barrels of his guns, jumping on the games consoles, putting a big hole in the underside of the boat and setting fire to the sled and the hunting shack.

And would do all of the above with pleasure.

Then would find out who the trollope was that he had an affair with and whether she knew he was married or not, would kick 10 barrells of shit out of her too - just because.

(I have a bad temper)

We could do a Thelma and Louise :thumbup:

Edited to add on a more serious note, a good male friend a while back actually said to me "Mand if you believe that any man would pass it up if he had it laid on a plate in front of him, without anyone ever being able to find out, then you're stupid"

Whether any of you guys out there would admit to it or not I doubt - but I think he's right.

Re: Would you forgive an affair?...............
 
I wouldn't forgive! I trust my husband 100% so I think I would be too devastated if he did that to me!
(My ex was different, he had a wandering eye so I don't think it would have hurt so much - weird to say that really when he is my ex??!!??):confused:

Elaine B. Apr 2nd 2010 12:38 pm

Re: Would you forgive an affair?...............
 
Interesting question I guess it depends on a few things like would any of you be more likely to forgive a one night stand or an ongoing affair?

ann m Apr 2nd 2010 2:43 pm

Re: Would you forgive an affair?...............
 
I might eventually forgive - but I would never forget - and therefore the trust would be gone .... completely.

An affair would be much worse than a one night stand.

I don't think I'd go for revenge, I'd go for the martyr option, polishing my halo on a daily basis. :lol:

No - end of

As for the "all men would do it" I don't believe that that is true at all. Let's face it, while this is not bullet proof, it is not that difficult to work out those that would and those that wouldn't. Just like it wasn't that difficult to see who the slappers were and who the knobs were in our younger days.

Hi
It will be interesting to hear from some men, but in my opinion (for what it is worth) If Men do the dirty....women need to forgive and forget....if women do it....Men treat them as soiled goods and as their male pride is truly dented...a lot less forgiveness. I have seen the way my husband reacted when a close friend's wife did it to him.....and it were not pretty, I can tell you.
Do you ever hear a man called a slut, slag or whore for sowing wild oats?????? NO....but let a woman do it and there is no worse creature, in their eyes, on earth!!!!
Don't think I could forgive..........wouldn't want to put myself through the wringer everytime he was outta my sight. Trust is trust....a fragile thing....no....couldn't forgive. Anyway mine snores.....so nights alone would hold some appeal for me....lol.....:rofl::rofl::rofl:
lol

Re: Would you forgive an affair?...............
 
Personally, it would depend. We've got two kids and over a decade of marriage together, so I'd work hard to forgive a one night stand. An affair would be a different matter though, if it had gone on for a while then I'd kick him out and contact MMC for vengeance tips!

Yes, if she was really hot.

Today I survived riding in the desert on a horse called, not by accident, "Buck". Deeper thoughts than "my thighs are throbbing" will have to wait for another day.

Re: Would you forgive an affair?...............
 
If your partner (male/female) "cheats" (for want of a better word), it destroys the trust in the relationship that you will never recover.

IMO, the biggest hurdle to cheating is on the first occasion, after that they'll think they can get away with it on subsequent occasions.

Best off calling it a day and going your separate ways.

We have friends whos hubby had an affair 2 years ago its been such an awful roller coaster for all incl the children, they now have another and are still going from one day to the next,

It has totally destroyed any trust and things will never be the same,

very sad for what ?

It depends on whether or not you have children, how rich you are, where you live, where your family lives, how you can manage when you split, how desperate you are.

sparkling_gal Apr 4th 2010 1:58 am

Re: Would you forgive an affair?...............
 
No way. With my ex, I forgave one affair after another, even though I was desperately unhappy in the marriage. Eventually, I'd had enough and I threw him out. Looking back, I wasted a lot of years forgiving someone who didn't deserve it.

Hi
I thought time had moved on from this scenario. It was certainly true years ago, but with the welfare system in place....and more women gaining independence through work, I don't think these points are as relevant as they were. I do think that it all depends on whether you feel that you still love the person and hope it was a one off deviation......continual affairs though...destroy that love eventually. Having divorced without children years ago...at the time it was hard...but got to the stage where I knew I could live well without him....so filed for divorce. I believe he died a couple of years ago in his mid 40's due to alcohol abuse over many years, and women or course. Glad I got the hell out of it. Also once you have divorced once....it would be easier to do the second time...as would not hold the same fear....you know, you survived it once...could survive it again.

I have now been happily remarried for 17 years...together for 20....but if he strayed......off with his head.....I would be kicking him out and keeping the kids (13 and 15) with me if they wanted to stay.
with me.....that is
lol

Re: Would you forgive an affair?...............
 
As a man, no I wouldnt forgive. For me it is about the trust we give each other.

On the answer about having it offered on a plate, with no relationship attached. I can tell you here is one who refused (more than once). It wasn't easy, but I kept thinking about the investment made in the relationship and the fact that we had two children.

If you want to understand why I turned it down. IMy experience as a child of the impact on the family. My mum forgave and forgave ad infinitum, they are still together at 70+ but the marriage was a bitter one. My father couldnt afford to leave (four of us and mortgage) and ditto for my Mum. Boy does she make him pay continually for his affairs:(

Jules and I celebrated 28 years being married yesterday and we are still best friends, lovers and partners:D
