Are you Ruined because you were cheated on?

Bear with me,


So I was talking to a female co-worker/ friend last night at a work event. She was describing problems in her relationship being that her BF won't marry her or overly commit to her. I have met him once of twice and he is a good guy seems like.

She tells me that he went through a terrible divorce and was cheated on. While he is a great man and great father the experience cut him to the bone and he has become cynical of relationships and women to some degree. Then she says that both him and I are ruined because we are good men who got cheated on and are now cynical and cautious of relationships and commitments. I couldn't really disagree with that summation as i do have a very different view of marriage and commitment than I did before.

So my question is two parts. For women who are now dating divorced men do you find that men who were cheated on stand offish to get into a relationship or hurt again?

Men if you have been cheated on has it warped your view of marriage and commitment?

Put the internet to work for you.
