Staying after cheating

Please could I hear from those who chose to stay after being cheated on and how you made the relationship/marriage work, how you felt or even how you feel now, are you still together or did you eventually call it quits etc

Please refrain from saying “leave”, “don’t stay” im looking for genuine real experiences whether it be good or bad

I know the response that these kind of posts can have sometimes so please be kind ❤️

I know a guy who had affairs since before he even got married, confessed he had hope his wife would end it when she found out. She didn’t and he is miserable.
of course he also did all the begging to stay crap but really he just didn’t want an expensive divorce and having to coparent young children.
don’t be fooled by their tears..
I have no doubt he will do it again or leave when the kids are older. Why risk it.

It rarely works once the secret is out. The trust is gone and resentment builds.

Woah! I don’t cheat. This person has asked us for our opinion. Don’t turn it round on me @Pickle991
