The question is: Would you forgive your significant other if he/she cheated on you?
For me, it would depend. If I had been rejecting my husband emotionally and/or physically, I could see myself forgiving him. It would also depend on the extent to which he was unfaithful. Did he just kiss this other person? Or did he go all the way without a condom--putting me at risk? If he put me at risk, it wouldn't matter if I had emotionally or physically ignored him. I couldn't forgive his putting me at risk. Although I'm not sure I could forgive him if he had sex or oral sex with another woman. The thought of that repulses me, and I'm not sure I could ever get that image out of my head.
