How do you forgive and move on with somebody who cheated on you? !?

It seems so impossible. Especially when you're pregnant with their child. I don't know how to just keep trying and to move on from it...

It is not easy... But, don't listen to those on here who are telling you it cannot be done. If it is your desire to forgive, than you should allow yourself that. I am not suggesting that it will be easy or that you can undo the damange that has been done. But, people are not perfect, they make mstakes. If that is what this was, and you both agree that you want to try, then be honest with eachother about this and move on.

Below is a link to a very good book on the subject:

http://www.amazon.com/Forgiving-Unforgivable-Beverly-Flanigan/dp/0020322305

The book is called Forgiving the Unforgivable. I have read this book and would recommend it to anyone who is carrying the resentment of being wronged my another...

The cheater was/is weak. You need to believe in your own strengths, to carry on.

You don't. It's just going to cause more pain, even though you really want to go on..I've done it before. It sucks. It's been a year and a half, and I am in love with him as ever. But I know that I did what I had to do, finally.

I think it's going to take time, and some effort on their part. If they support you through your pregnancy maybe you can forgive them. If things don't improve then you will need to move on, as you say.

Do you want to? If so, then Robert is right. Give them a chance to prove they can be trusted and give yourself a chance to be able to get over it. If he/she does it again, definitely leave! If you don't want to forgive, then don't do it just because you feel like you should. I don't know if I could forgive that. I don't think I could, actually, but everyone is different and every situation is different too. Good luck!!!

You don't. It'll always be at the back of your mind no matter how much you try to forgive and forget. I wasted 3 years on a similar situation. It doesn't get better.

I could possibly forgive them, but I would not be with that person anymore. So, the moving on part for me would be moving away.

I don't think you can because that is unforgiveable.
You just try your best to hurt them in some way. Or you dump them. Or do both.

as for forgiving, yes you can
but you won't ever forget and you probably won't trust them again.
it will ultimately eat away at you, sorry to be full of doom and gloom on this one, i speak from experience.
with me there where no kids so it is slightly different

Not in a million years could I have forgotten the incident. It was like my heart was sliced apart from the back. Very deep wounds. It hurt so bad that my truelove would kill me like that. I felt so betrayed and dishonored. I had 2 small children back then. I couldn't be touched by husband ever again. It took me along time to forgive also. We eventually divorced and he did it again to the next wife.

In this world cheating is a daily thing and will never go away no matter how much you want it to but there is an answer. You must work on your self esteem and know that you were not the cause. Count the good qualities you have and know that if he does it again you can leave if that is your choice. You will never forget it but you can go on with him if you let time and the LOrd help you. Forgivness is what the Lord wants us to do because we are not all perfect and we make mistakes. When we do it is up to us to change the wrong and pray that we do not repeat it but we ned his help. In time you will be able to trust him again because you will have grown strength in yourself and know that you will not tolerate it if it happens again. Let him know that you like yourself and its got to change not only for you but for your child. No child wants a cheat for a father.
