Is it normal to want to stay in a relationship after infidelity?

no it is not normal, please build your self eseem

I do believe that it is normal to want to stay in a relationship after infidelity. We as humans are creatures of habbit...as much as we don't like to admit to it we are...so for some of us change is difficult. But the question really is....if you are the one that cheated can your partner trust you? If you were the one that was cheated on can you trust your partner? Once those questions are answered then you can decide what you best for your well being. Good Luck.

my husband cheated on me while i was pregnant and after a month of being married, its not been easy and if i were not pregnant at the time i probably have told him where to go. I didnt because i felt needy and that was probably the wrong thing to do, as 5yrs on even though we are together and he has made an effort, i cant forgive and punish him daily by acting cold and un loving. If you forgive and forget easily then maybe you will survive, but unfortunately for me i am very much a stubborn mule and dont forget anything....so it eats away at me daily and in the process have become an ice maiden, making not only him unhappy but myself too, i just wish i could forgive and forget more easy so that life could be more happy x

There is no such thing as "normal" when it comes to infidelity. It is absolutely no one elses decision but your own as to whether you try to stay or are determined to leave after infidelity. You can listen to all the advice in the world but it is a matter of whether you can move forward and let go of the past with regards to your partners straying. If are not willing to do that your relationship will always be in jeopardy. The hurt will go away but you will likely never forget that feeling and it will take much time to rebuild trust.

it's normal to think you can fix things. but amazingly hard. don't set youself up for another heartbreak.

It really depends. Have the couple been together a long time? Are there children involved? What were the motives behind the straying? How much do you love the person? It takes a long long long long time to deal with betrayal of heart, but I dont think it is odd to want to the relationship to still work. It will take a lot of work though.

Who cheated? If your spouse did, I'd take it as a sign that they're ready for something else. It's natural for you to want to hold on if you love them, though.

Good luck.

depends on the severity of the infidelity in my opinion....if it occurred only once, or many many times....if it was just physical or if there was an emotional infidelity as well. lots of things to take into consideration before deciding if one should stay or not. the trust level will not be what it once was, so that is something to think about as well. will the fact that you couldn't trust your partner lead to more problems later in the relationship?

If you can forgive the person then yes but you both need to sit and talk and be totally honest as to the reason this happened.

I am in the same situation. I want to fix things with my husband but he doesn't want to try. If both parties are willing go to a marriage counselor. Good Luck!

if you're the one who cheated and you were jilted by the "other person" then of course it's normal to come crawling back. if you were cheated upon you should not want to stay in the relationship at ALL.
