    My boyfirend and I have known each other for six years. We were eachothers first love.We broke up four years ago and got back together. After a year of being with him I found out that he was cheating on me with another girl and cheating on her with me. I have never been cheated on so i had mo remorse for this type of action. I never wanted to speak to him ever again. But he would never leave me alone. For five month he begged and pleaded his way back into my heart. I never thought i would take back someone who has hurt me that bad but he promised that he would never cheat on me and the only reason he cheated was becasue he wanted more sex. should i be worried that he will cheat again? aor should i just learn to trust him?

    I believe a cheat is ALWAYS a cheat and these sort of features in a person never change. However I think if you’ve been together for a long time and in a long term relationship and by that I mean 20 years or something like that then in extreme circumstances someone can cheat/have a short affair and it’ll be a one off and things can be worked out between them, even though most people/victims won’t try to work it because of the hurt, etc. And I seriously doubt your relationship is that strong as you’ve already admitted you broke up after a few years anyway.

    uhh, your boy friend cheated on you because he wanted MORE sex. Now, that’s pretty disturbing. So yeah, he WILL cheat again when he is lacking of sex. If you still want him, okay fine, give him a chance.. besides, everyone makes mistake. But then again, some change for better; and some remain the same.
    By giving him the “chance”, you need to observe him and do not trust him completely as you’re taking a risk now. If he strikes again, PLEEAASEEE do not take him back.

    I can’t tell you that it’s an ironclad truth that if someone cheats once they’ll cheat again — however, the reason for cheating is pretty important. That your boyfriend cheated on you because he wanted more sex makes me wonder if he ever told you before he cheated that he wanted more sex. In other words, do you believe that this reason is a legitimate one — that he really wanted more sex? If that’s true, how much sex was he getting and how much more did he need?

    If he’s the kind of guy who needs sex multiple times a day and if he can’t get it from you he’s going to look elsewhere with no warning, you’re in for a bumpy ride — and I don’t mean in bed! 😆 The other problem is that if he has a problem in the relationship — whether it’s sex or something else — his not coming to you first, and instead taking problems and solutions in his own hands, isn’t a great tool for relationships. Ideally, he would come to you first and tell you he’s unhappy and what he would like to be different so that YOU would have first crack at giving him what he wanted if you so desired.

    In relationships it’s common that both people don’t get everything they want at the same time, but cheating isn’t going to fortify the relationship. Instead, communicating, compromising, sacrificing, being honest and respectful and acting as a couple, not as two independent entities is what keeps relationships together.

    I hope this helps. Let me know how things go.
