    Is it possible? Yes! Will I do it? I hope so, but I probably won't stick around long if it happens a second time. A lot of times an affair happens as an indicator for a bigger issue in the marriage. Try to fix it/heal and go from there. But after being cheated on over and over, the pain is horrible and stepping away from the marriage is acceptable, but not what God ultimately wants. The point is you commit forever. Keeping the committment through every situations is what makes us rely on Him. But its not easy. If you make it through, you are covered with battle wounds and I consider those people honorable.

    I will be married for 32 years in June of this year, if my husband had an affair I would really have to dig deep to forgive him. The trust from both of us has all ready been well established and it would break my heart right in two. Forgiving is one thing, forgetting is totally different. It would be very hard to trust him again, and if you ever got into an argument it would be very difficult NOT to throw it up in his face even though you know you shouldn't. As for a second time, I wouldn't be able to forgive him. Once is a mistake, a terrible mistake, the second time is not, for he already knows the consequences. I'm not sure if I could really ever forget him because he is so much part of my life. Our children are grown up and gone now it is time for us and the grandchildren. I know that they say men go through a change when they get to about 50, but if they truly love their partner they they won't have an affair. They can change their hair color, weight, life style maybe even buy a fishing boat or sports car, but if they really truly love you they won't have an affair.

    This is a good question, each person would have to look into their own hearts to see if this was the fault of both parties. But I feel that only One affair would be forgiven, I don't see how it will truly be forgotten. I know some do the forgive and forget so they say. I'm not sure what I would do....

    I can forgive, but that does not mean that I should stay in a bad situation. I could forgive a affair eventually, and at the same time move on.

    I think this means just one time forgive and forget for ever and any time come to happen again just forget it .Because man kind like to do same mistake over and over and over ,so just get over it.
