Hello everybody!
I was wondering whether forgiving a partner who has cheated on us may even be a wise and good step towards a new beginning of the relationship.
If you forgive a cheat, then aren't you humiliating yourself? Aren't you placing yourself at a lower "level" (of self-esteem etc.) than your partner? What he/she did is something that can never be erased from the memory of you both. It will leave you with a doubt that something similar may happen again, may already have been happened.
Sometimes you find out your partner's cheat, and even if you rationally know that you should step away, you can't. So you keep the relation alive just for a while, just to postpone suffering. I wonder if you end up suffering more than if you had put an end to it before.
