I’m not forgiving a SOUL but I talked about this before with some friends.
The reason I know I wouldn’t stay is because I know that deep down I’d most likely never trust him again. I wouldn’t be able to be in a relationship and happy while feeling like every time he says he’s going somewhere, he really probably isn’t. To save him and myself the misery, I’d end the relationship.
I believe when some men choose not to forgive and not continue the relationship, they think about this and it’s like, if I know I will never trust you again why exactly do I have to stay? Some women would rather be miserable, feeling like he’s always doing something, accusing him of doing something all the time...than to end the relationship. It gives me huge codependency vibes.
If a man ends the relationship after she cheated, he most likely did both of them a favor.
and vice versa.
