I would go with a yes, I would. i don't understand how you can go on and trust after that. that's my opinion.

I would leave. I'm not a forgiving person when it comes to stuff like that, I feel like there is no excuse for it. Even if I did forgive, I'd never trust again. So why make both of us miserable? I know how I am, I will never change, therefore, I will never forgive regardless of excuses.

We both know that when we said "I DO" and "Forsaking all others", it was said as a serious vow. If one of us really feels so strongly they want OUT, then leave FIRST....then screw around, out of respect, if nothing else. Of course, we have been married for 31 years now, and as we sit here TOGETHER, shopping and blogging on EF, why on earth would either of us want to cheat...we still are in love and have FUN!!!!!!

For me. yes I would. My husband and i have discussed our relationship very clearly before we sealed the deal. Neither one of us believe in divorce. However there are two factors for automatic divorce. 1) cheating, 2) abuse (physical or verbal) to me ... more
We live together and love together with those exact same ideas and rules...and have been happy together for 31 years now. However, we don't need to worry much about rule section number 2. We met doing world class Karate, and so we KNOW we could both REALLY hurt each other...ha, ha. Violence is OUT in our household (Think Mr. and Mrs. Smith)...oh, and our one child, our daughter....well, as a nationally ranked Tae Kwon Do black belt and also a National Match pistol expert...well, "child abuse" ain't happening around here either!!!! As my brilliant daughter once observed to her pediatrician (as dad and daughter were both sporting bruises from working out hard in the yard). Doc, "the family that slays together, stays together"!!!! Brilliant child. She was only five or six at the time. Still brilliant too, as now she is studying to be a surgeon !!! (Sorry...proud dad and mom coming out).

Hell yeah!!! But he would dearly pay first for the lack of respect and caring.

It's really hard to tell. I pray that I never have to actually make that decision.

If you had asked me long before I was married I would have said yes. Now, I couldn't tell you either way. I think that once the trust is broken it would be extremely difficult to get back. Maybe our marriage could withstand something like that, but not without consequence. I'm no doormat and I sure as heck would let him know that.

There's really no acceptable reasons for cheating, in my eyes.

I'm not really sure and I hope that I am never in this situation.

Yes, since I am open to the idea of allowing him to have sex with someone else. So, if he cheated on me, he did not want me to know about that person and that would be the end.

I said yes and other. Only because in my head now just thinking if he ever did cheat I'd walk out. But then there's another part of me that says even though you want to it's not going to happen. So really I have no idea and I don't want to find out.

If either of us makes it to the point of cheating, something has failed in our marriage, and it wouldn't be salvageable.

It really depends on the circumstances. I mean, if it was a one-time-thing and they told me about it, I'd give them another chance. If they tried to hide it from me or were a repeat offender, I'd drop them in an instant.

happened to me more than enough times to have learned my lesson and just save myself a lot of pain and just cut my losses and move on

I don't care about my exclusive right to his body as much as I care about my exclusive right to his heart. It would not bother me if he slept with someone else. It would bother me if he also fell in love with her. If he could separate love and sex (which I don't think he can) he could have sex with whomever he chose with my permission so long as he was safe.

My husband cheated on my physically at least once. I suspect there may have been one or two other times... but I hurt too bad from the first to go digging around. I also caught him on an internet dating site twice. And I feel that emotionally... we have both cheated many times. HOWEVER... all of that happened within the first year or two of our marriage. I made the decision to work past it with my husband. I love him... have children together... and I'm willing to work through anything with this man. A rocky road with him will always be better than an easy lonely road without him by my side. It's been 3 years since all that happened... and we've had another child since then. Our love life is 100x better than it was. I am so happy I made the choice I did.

As with anything in life, it depends on the circumstances. Most likely, yes though.

He has told me that he would if I ever did, so (hard as it would probably be), I would leave him as well.

yeah i can't tolerate cheating. i really dont understand people who can... for example, my last boyfriend whom i ended up cheating on, telling him, and he still wanted to be with me!
i'm like... wtf. if you did that to me i'd never talk to your ass again.


i respect myself too much. nobody is worth that kind of pain for me. or worth my trust again after that.

NOBODY.

It would depend on the circumstances but I think I would have to leave. I don't think I'd be able to trust him again and it's the dishonesty that really kills me.
