Will he cheat again?

fixing a relationshipI got an email today from a woman who told me that her partner that she’d been with for nearly 2 1/2 years was under a lot of pressure at work and got drunk and had sex with a co-worker. Not only that, but he continued to see her until his partner caught them together. She said he broke down and cried like a baby and apologized and said he would never see the woman again if only he could be forgiven.

Will he cheat again?

I suspect the guy cried because he got caught and all the excitement from a clandestine relationship was flying out the window. If all it took was a bit of stress and some alcohol to trigger this episode, then sadly, I have to say what’s past is prologue and he’ll cheat again when the conditions are right.

Does every cheater cheat again and again?

No, it’s not 100% certain that it will happen again and only you can answer the question of whether you give him (or her) another chance. If it happened to me and I really loved him, I’d give him another chance. I know it’s risking putting my heart on the table and waiting for the knife to stab a big fat hole into it, but that’s the sort of person I am. If I got cheated on twice, I’d take the knife and chase him until I cut his nuts off to go on my keychain.

    If they cheat once they will do it again.I went 25 years with one female and never cheated, wish I could say the same for her. You just have to be good at catching them. The longer they cheat the better they get at not getting caught. You would actually be surprised at the amount of people that cheat and never get caught.

    I love the down to earth advice….and the healthy humor!
    Narcissistic Personality Disorder lends itself to the bad behavior relationship you described so well above. My advice…be careful who you love.
