    Would need context to answer your question.

    and tbh any cheating can be forgiven, depends on the person who has the power to forgive and whats at stake

    When I was in my previous relationship I forgive my partner at the time for cheating but that was because I felt guilty for hiding my addiction and I felt like in a way, I was cheating on her.

    I vowed that in my next relationship my conscience will be clear and that if I ever get cheated on again, I wouldn't forgive.

    That's quite a big mistake. Big enough to break the vow.

    One thing for sure : If she cheats I could never trust her again completely. There will always be that doubt.

    It's still similar on some aspects. When you cheat you betray someone trust. If you hide your porn addiction and your wife think you aren't addicted but then discovers it, she will feel betrayed. The trust can be broken.
    It's not as bad, but it can be really damaging.
     
  13. Commitment for life means you don’t cheat on your spouse lmao

  14. Cheating is unforgivable. Obviously the cheater doesn’t want to be with you anymore why would you want to continue the relationship?

    You may not think it’s remotely the same but many partners of porn addicts do. Porn addicts lie, gaslight, neglect their partner in favor of mind fuc*ing others using their hand. They can “ cheat” more often than an actual affair and hide it better. It is a deep betrayal as is an affair.

    Oh, I was cheated (in fact emotionally cheated) at the end of my 7 year long relationship.
    That trashed my self confidence so much that I feel disgussed by thinking of cheating. I'm not in a state where I could forgive cheating.
    In fact, that was the time when I started using PMO as a coping mechanism.

    we dont have to trust someone 100% but we're all allowed to have boundaries. if a friend cons me off some money, i'm allowed to break the friendship n never trust him again. i dont have to hate the person but i'm allowed to break the friendship. likewise one is allowed to break the relation if one cheats. it depends on the person if he's willing to forgive. it also depends on the person how he defines.

    some spouses consider porn as cheating, some consider sleeping around as cheating. it boils down to the individual n their decision.

    I will say this, you can forgive some one while deciding not to reconcile. Forgiveness is one way, reconciliation takes two.
