False. I always believe there a chance for people to change. However, as someone that was cheated on 3xs by the same person - I will say the trust in the relationship will be extremely hard to obtain again lol

False. But if you don’t want to take the gamble don’t take the gamble. Just don’t shit on people who did take it (esp if their relationship is happy and healthy)

I would have said false but I know that it’s true for me. I don’t go looking for it anymore but if the opportunity presents itself and I want to do it, I will. I’m not proud of it.

False because nothing is finite in this world but generally most of them have a tendency to repeat the behavior

Imo false, I would definitely have a harder time trusting them and my view on them would be irreversibly altered but I don’t think it’s fair to say nobody can change. I personally probably wouldn’t get back with a cheater but I honestly don’t know, I certainly wouldn’t judge anybody for getting back with a cheater

False, but it takes time and actual effort for the person to better themself

Hating on anyone regardless of their actions is wrong.

Then get into an enm relationship fam. It’s ok to not be monogamous when your partner consents to it too

lets not recommend enm to people who already can't manage ONE person's boundaries

The boundary isn’t respect bc they crave non monogamy. So being in a nonmanogamous relationship would actually benefit them here.

Not necessarily. They hate this about themselves, and actively avoid seeking it out. They’re not purposefully being malicious for the enjoyment of it. The fact they like it isn’t because they enjoy hurting their partner. Thus, a non monogamous relationship would benefit them, bc they aren’t someone seeking monogamy. And that’s ok

I say this as someone who has had successful nonmonogamous relationships- fuck that. they have the option to respect the boundary of the relationship by ending it. they know they have this habit and have chosen not to disclose it knowing it will happen.

How do you know they don’t tell their partner and break up afterwards? How do you know they’re hiding it? You’re making a TON of assumptions about this random commenter. You heard cheating and assume they’re an evil horrible person incapable of love or respect. Which fair, tons of cheaters are. you have no clue about this persons life, except they hate themselves for lacking control to not be monogamous. So, they should look into nonmonogamy to remedy that. I say, as someone in a successful enm

I have had enm relationships in the past and the non monogamy lost a lot of appeal for me after that. It actually fucked up the original relationship for me. The secrecy and the thrill is what draws me to do it. My current relationship is technically an open one but I told my wife that I had no interest in seeing anyone else and at that time and for years that had been true. I never sought out anyone else, and turned down many many opportunities without a second thought. But that changed.

Also, FTR, my wife is very well aware of my past with cheating. She also has a past with that and has cheated on me. It really didn’t even bother me other than the fact that she did it with this chick who was a tweaker who I was already mad at for other reasons. But I told her that if she wanted to do something like that again she shouldn’t feel bad about it and to go ahead.

Ah so you are into the cheating part. Well at least you’re aware it’s harmful and don’t like it about yourself, and working hard to change. Genuinely caring enough to do better is a big piece of the battle. It looks like you found your perfect match at least, yall are made for each other

This is it. Pretty much. This is the reality. Not as intensely as I used to, but it still comes up.
