Yes, I do. Once a cheater most of the time, will remain as such. Time to look into new perspectives and other possibilities because your guy will always beg you for forgiveness and do it again.

I don't know, but what I DO KNOW

"once you've cheated on me,
trust will always be an issue"

If a person cheats they obviously have some moral compass problems that they will probably always have.

that's a tough call, but this guy has a serious history of cheating.

Yup
if they got away with it once (you took him back)
they'll do it again

sorry but a leopard does not change it spots

(((((((only2))))))

nope. they are very low level, primitive men. you can't expect a turnip to behave like an apricot. lol

Not from my experience. They can keep clean for awhile, but when things get tough for them, they will sray.

I think it's just who they are. My STBX cheated on me and found out it probably wasn't the first time. I think when they get bored and not center of attention they do it again. Dump him!

You know him best. Why is he changing? (Why will he not cheat again?) If he's doing it for you...chances are "once a cheater always a cheater" if he is doing it for him....maybe he can change. Can you live with him cheating? Can you be ok if you don't know about it? Just asking because I think you should focus more on what you want than what he's doing because you can't control that.

Once whiner always a whiner?

Once a victim, always a victim?

Once a winner always a winner?

No, you can't ever change anything about yourself. So don't bother.

@TD

This speaks to something larger than winning, whining and being a victim. Cheating is about lack of character - period

Fine.

Drug addict?
Abuser?
Murderer?

I suppose they can't change either, and I think they all trump cheating.

I like how the question is worded "do you THINK they will ever be faithful?"

Its not about whether he would want to change, would be able to change, would be able to maintain the change...but what we think.

Safe to say those of us who have experienced being betrayed in that or another way, believe the adage "the best indicator of future behaviour, is past behaviour", which people think is about them, but really it's about us. That adage is about us choosing to be cautious and skeptical, rather than risk being taken for a ride again by someone with a bad track record.

cheaters never prosper

I have made the same reply on another thread about this subject.

Yes there are some who cheat and find it isn't worth it. That the grass isn't greener on the other side yada yada yada. Then there is a group of cheaters rightly called "serial cheaters." They can't seem to stop. I think it's the excitement of the hunt. Like a shop lifter who has millions in their bank account but steals for thrills. The trouble is figuring out what kind of cheater you are involved with. No one wears a badge or label so you can easily find them. LOL don't you wish they had those stickers on them like the apples in the produce section. That way you know you are getting the real think and not a look alike?
