What is infidelity?
Infidelity is a breach of trust by one partner towards another. It can occur both physically and emotionally. In both cases, infidelity can cause pain and disappointment within the relationship and deal a serious blow to its future. Infidelity can be a one-time occurrence or a systematic issue. Whether it's a one-time unpleasant event or ongoing acts of infidelity, the person who has been betrayed experiences painful emotions.

Why do people cheat?
Infidelity happens for various reasons. In some cases, it stems from personal issues of the individual (such as low self-esteem and the need for attention), while in other cases, it arises from relationship problems. There are numerous reasons for infidelity, such as sexual dissatisfaction, a desire for new experiences, or emotional attachment to someone else.

How does infidelity affect relationships?
Infidelity can have serious consequences for relationships. The betrayed person often experiences pain, worry, and disappointment upon discovering the infidelity. They may feel that their trust has been broken, and trust issues may arise in the future. Additionally, it may be difficult for the person to trust their partner, which can lead to relationship problems. However, forgiving infidelity can sometimes contribute to healing the relationship.

It's important to understand that forgiving infidelity is not always an easy path, and it may not be suitable for everyone.
I believe that forgiveness should be based on your own peace of mind and well-being. It should make you feel at ease and tranquil, regardless of whether your relationship ends due to the infidelity or you decide to stay in it.

You can end the relationship and still repeatedly dwell on the feelings of resentment towards the past stage of life and the actions of a person who no longer plays any role in your life.

In this case, forgiveness would entail living through all the unpleasant feelings and fears associated with infidelity. Whether to maintain the relationship or end it is, in my opinion, an individual decision that depends on the mutual desire of the partners and the context of the infidelity.
