It seems that couple relationships find their main enemy in sexual exclusivity and we say it by the amount of infidelities that are verified and by the greater amount that are intuited. We are looking for reasons to forgive an infidelity , although later we will continue to have the doubt about how to forgive it.
Reasons to forgive an infidelity
In principle, infidelity should not be forgiven because it is a deception , a total breakdown of trust in the couple and a full-blown betrayal. But we don’t like to be too strict and there are some cases in which it may be worth considering forgiving infidelity.
1 Reciprocity. The most common reason to forgive an infidelity to your partner is because you have also been unfaithful. This is called empathy and it is one of the fundamental components of happy couples . If you have done it too even though he has not found out, how can you not forgive?
2 Weather. It turns out that a poorly managed relationship crisis led you not to break up, but to give yourself time or distance. During the crisis, your boyfriend had a few flings , and you? It hardly counts as cheating, so you can easily forgive.
3 Slip. An infidelity can be more easily forgiven if it is a specific slip, on a night out or on a separate vacation or on a work trip … the song already said ‘the night is long and the meat is weak ‘. It will not happen again.
4 Love. They tell us that there are people so so, so in love that they are capable of forgiving their partner for infidelity because it is not worth it for them to break that love for a single mistake . We add generous lovers, because forgiving out of love is not as easy as it seems.
5 Importance. You can also forgive an infidelity because you don’t care at all. We mean that you do not care about your partner, that inertia dominates your relationship and you will continue in your apparently happy partner state no matter what happens.
