How many chances would you give a cheating partner?

How many chances would you give a cheating partner?

By VANESSA E CHAMBERS 

For some people, a relationship isn’t a game of eeny meenie miney moe, nor is it a game of Tic Tac Toe, so they won’t give second chances no matter what the circumstances may be. Others are willing to give their partners chance after chance like ‘get out of jail free’ cards.

How many chances would you give a cheating partner?

Evelyn, 38:

If you cheat once, it’s over. I see no reason to keep him in my life.

Rosemary, 41:

I gave an ex of mine a chance after he cheated on me one time and I think he took it as a sign that me giving him a second chance was a stamp of approval for him to do it again, and he expected me to take him back. I wasn’t having that.

Elliot, 36:

We all make mistakes but it depends on the mistake. Cheating to me is not a mistake. It is a conscious decision to be with someone else regardless of the consequences.

Maggie, 39:

I would never take back a cheater. Because whenever he touches me, I would be wondering if he touched the other woman the same way. Taking him back would be an ongoing headache and no man is worth me getting sick over.

Eric, 34:

I can’t see myself taking back someone who cheated on me. Once the trust has been broken there is nothing left and I’m not sure I could trust that person again.

Lee, 28:

I have never had anyone cheat on me but I have cheated a few times and I have been given a few second chances. But the relationship never works, because I tend to cheat and if I can get away with it then I’m going to do it again. I don’t mean to cheat, but it happens.

Denise, 33:

I took back my ex after she cheated on me but I couldn’t believe anymore when she told me things like she was going out with her friends or going to her mother, because in my head it meant she was going to go and find a way to cheat on me again.

Bobbie, 26:

I would give her a chance if I had cheated on her first. The thing is this, if I cheated on her and she forgave me, then I think it would only be fair to give her a chance. But I would only give her one chance.

Ric, 27:

Not at all. Not even if she begged me on bended knees.

Kearia, 23:

Cheating is a major thing for me. The minute I find out that he cheated on me it would be over. I have no room in my life or heart for a man who I can’t trust.
