Is it possible to forgive a friend who slept with your boyfriend/husband or girlfriend/wife?

Fortunately, this has never happened to me, and hopefully it never does. I guess I'm asking this question for a women vs. men viewpoint on forgiveness when it comes to this matter.





I predict that men will be more forgiving than women just because I know how catty and jealous women are towards one another by nature and men seem to brush it off easier. I could be wrong. I don't know why we do some of the things we do as women, and I don't condone getting it on with other people's boyfriends, but mistakes do happen and everybody has feelings, right or wrong? What do you think?





I mean at the end of the day, do you feel that it is about the intentions of a person, that makes it easier to forgive? Or is the action just automatically unforgivable, and is it the worse thing you can do as a woman? I've talked to people who have cheated and have been cheated on, but I don't often hear, ';Yeah, I was trying to sabotage their relationship';. It was either because there was too much alcohol involved, because someone had a rough childhood and grew up to be promiscuous and angry. It's always something, but rarely is it ';I wanted to ruin their relationship';. They just want to satisfy their own feelings like everyone else in the world. Also how do you feel about people falling in love with unavailable men/women? Are those people just supposed to turn their feelings off when the husband/wife reconcile? Lots of different questions, but answer what you can. Thanks!Is it possible to forgive a friend who slept with your boyfriend/husband or girlfriend/wife?
You can forgive but it's near impossible to forget. The friend will have a long road ahead of them to ever be really trusted again. Each situation will be different of course. The person who was cheated on will have to ask themselves why the situation happened. Is the friend someone who is prone to needing affection or attention? Was it a drunken night and do either parties involved have an alcohol problem? What's going on in your relationship that your significant other would cheat on you? There's a ton of questions to ask and the questions will vary based on the situation.
