How many Times Should I Forgive my Wife for Cheating?

Has your wife cheated on you in the past? Have you just found out she's cheating on you again? How many times should you forgive her for cheating before you pack your bags and move on?
That's a good question.

Unfortunately, there's no easy answer.

Cheating is tough on relationships. Sometimes it can be turned around and become something that works out for the best but there is a lot of hard work that is required to make that happen.

Ultimately, you are the only person who can decide how many times you are willing to forgive your wife for cheating. Here are a few questions you can ask yourself that might help you make up your mind.

Why is she Cheating?

Until you get a handle on this there is little you can do to keep it from happening again and again. If you don't know the answer it's time to find out. Knowing the problem leads to fixing the problem though and that might require a lot of work depending on how deep the problems run.

It may not be the immediate reasons that come to mind that keep her going back to other men. You might have to dig deep and that will take a lot of time and attention on your part to accomplish. Until you do, you are going to have a hard (maybe impossible) time getting her to stop.

Does she want to Stop?

Most women don't go around looking for opportunities to cheat on their husbands. Their may be a few rare exceptions but as a rule the average woman doesn't want to hurt her husband that way. If she is an exception and doesn't want to stop you need to find out why.
It could be that she just can't handle monogamy. If that is the case you need to decide if you can live with the knowledge that she is going to cheat.

If she wants to stop and just can't seem to do it there may be other issues at play. Professional help in the form of personal counseling for both of you as well as couples counseling (jointly) is likely in order to get to the bottom of things and see what you can do to help her stay true.

Can you forgive her either way?

The bottom line is that you should forgive your wife for cheating as long as you are willing to forgive her for cheating. You will have to ask at some point in time if the marriage is worth continuing as it is or if you both need to make strong changes or redefine your relationship. Until that moment comes, you must do what works for you.

Did you send your wife packing only to regret it later? It isn't too late to get your ex back. But, don't make a single move until you've done this secret maneuver that is guaranteed to get her attention: http://www.getyourexbacknow.com/just_break_up3.html.
