re: Is it possible for any relationship to stay intact after cheating?

Anyone saying not possible is dumb. It is not easy, but it happens all the time. Just like people who are physically or emotionally abused stay with their SO all the time.

You're talking about people merely staying together, not the relationship being "intact". Those are two very different things.

That's kind of apples and oranges, until recently unhooking yourself from a cheating husband meant a for sure poor house. So the generation above us have a default forgiveness or go without.

Then there's the old he can change/he's not so bad cliche that comes from being perceived damaged goods and having self esteem brought around to negatives.

So my PSA before I return to being a cad and scoundrel:

Ladies and Lads, if you're in a relationship where you are being abused. you dont have to put up with it. There are people and special someones out there that do and will and can love you for you. Just unhitch your wagon from the loser first.

But yeah in regards to cheating the green-eyed monster exists. And it comes for a lot of swingers, cuckolds, and forgivers.
