I would want to know if my partner cheats on me. A relationship according to me is founded on trust and honesty. And if the two people are not honest with each other, the base of their relationship would not be able to hold both of them together for long. Even though, I and my partner are in a relationship, both of us deserve a personal space. It is my partner's choice to stay in a relationship with me, to not cheat on me, to be loyal to me, these aspects can not be forced. But being in a relationship together, both deserve to know the truth. Marriage according to me is just social acceptance of your relationship, and this perception is based on my origin. But marriage really does not change the way two people feel. You take vows to be together, but at the end of the day if you don't feel like being together, vows do not matter. Vows are taken by one's own choice, not forced. And this is applicable before, during, and after the marriage, Well, if I would have to encounter such an episode in my relationship, I would respect my partner's decision, but ask questions I want to but at the same would not expect her to be answerable. What decisions she makes, is her choice. If that decision is hurtful to me in any way, I would decide for myself and get myself out of the scenario. I believe a person can hurt you only if you allow them to do the same. If my partner cheats, and cheating here is not just sexual but anything that is hurtful or breaks trust, or is unjust to me, I would be the first person to move on. If my partner is sorry and can explain things, and if she accepts what she has done and accepts to mend her mistakes, there is still hope for the relationship. But if these things miss, there is no hope.
Hey, please do leave a thumbs-up. Thanks.
