If Your Man Cheated, Would You Break Up or Forgive Him? Look What This Woman Did…
partner
If your boyfriend cheated on
you, would you break up with him or forgive him? Last night, I was
watching
Sex & the City: The Movie, and one of the
women was debating forgiving her man for cheating. I don't
think I could!
Well, this husband cheated, and here's what his wife made
him do...
His wife made him stand on a busy street corner in Virginia during
the morning rush hour, and wear a handmade sign saying, "I
CHEATED. THIS IS MY PUNISHMENT."
People reported seeing him as early as 9 a.m., and a little
before 11 a.m., his wife texted him and said he'd been out
there long enough, according to
NBC.
See the video
here.
What do you think, my dears? Do you could ever forgive a
guy for cheating, or do you have a one-strike-you're-out
policy? Do you think this husband's punishment fit the crime?
It's almost like a scarlet letter!

LOL. I like that she did that it was a good idea. As for me, I would definetly dump him.

It might make her feel better temporarily to humiliate him like that, but as someone who as been cheated on - repeatedly - I can say that *nothing* takes away the pain. Nothing has been able to make me feel better about the fact that my boyfriend thought so little of me and my feelings that he would cheat.

I forgave him (Did I?), he left me and my 6 yr old girl for his dream (the mistress)with the same lame excuse " it's not you it's me, I need some more time", I was devastated (my mom passed away from breast cancer at the same time). After 1 1/2 years battling depression even moving continents , trying to start a new life without him, he came back to me. It was the most difficult decision in my life, I did it for me and my girl and don't regretted now after 7+ years; He is now a good and responsible husband and excellent father but still don't trust him completely.

That was great! Why shouldn't he feel humiliated like he made her feel? Men hate public humiliation. Apparently, he was willing to suffer the consequence to posiible save his relationship with his wife.
Maybe he'll think less about cheating and more about possible consequences and humiliation they are putting their family through. Stop hiding everything that's wrong with the world and let people suffer the consequence that they made for themselves. Obviously, what we are doing in society about cheaters is not working currently. Nice thinking outside the box. If we all had to wear our "scarlet letters" maybe we'd think about our actions before we take them.
You can only be responsible for your own actions and so you should be!

After looking at the video I didn't exactly laugh. That guy was really sorry, you could tell by the look on his face. Like a kid who's been caught doing something they shouldn't really be doing. That was a little bit extreme, because what if someone got too distracted and caused an collusion? Poor guy. No wonder.

Honestly, what I HOPE I would do (because like Joan said, we don't really know what we would do until it happens) is first time it happens, forgive him, find out WHY it happened (not some lame ass excuse either.. the real reason, because it very well could have been my fault too by not fulfilling his needs for some odd reason) and try and figure it out and go from there... but if it happened AGAIN after all that work, I just might consider leaving.

My boyfriend and I have been together for 3 years now. I tell/remind him every now and then, "Don't you ever lie to me. I don't believe in it, and you won't get a second chance." If he ever does lie about something, he probably would get a second chance. I just don't want him to know that. I would never be able to forgive a cheater, though. Hopefully, I'll never be tested.

If I was cheated on, yup I would leave him for good, a women don't need that kind of treatment. If I know he was cheating with other women's, no forgiveness from me. Like they say, "a cheater will always be a cheater".....you cannot change a man's behavior, he has to change.
