What would you do if you come home one day and found your spouse/partner having sex with a close family member? Do you pretend as if nothing happened just for peace to reign in the family or you call it quit with your partner or you disown the family member involved or you dissociate yourself from the two or you just forgive them and move on with life. If you forgive them, can they ever be trusted?

I have forgiven infidelity when the remorse seemed real, the partner would be irrelevant to the betrayal except that the partner in that case would also be betrying me


I think that my feelings would be consistent for both of them, If I cut one off , Id cut both off

If I forgave one, ID forgive both

once Im shown someone is capable of this type of betrayal though, trust is gonna be an issue for a while if not permanently...

Ok I can forgive, but I surely would not forget..

For me it would be over with my partner. there would no longer be any trust and without trust there is no relationship..

As for the family member, although I would not hate them i surely would not want them anywhere near me. Their actions would have shown me the amount of care they had for me and family or not, i dont want rubbish in my life..

I would rather be surrounded by people that i know that care about me.

Ive never had it happen but I do not have close ties to my family for the simple reason that they have shown me that it could happen. Some people are not well, really, and they may be in your family. If you cant 'fix' them, you can protect yourself and others you love.


Yep i have a lot of people that I call family, but most of them are not related to me or my children, they are just people who have come into our lives that we care about and who care for us..

I guess it's easier to forgive than to forget, don't you think so? Which brings about rebuilding of the trust you once had for them

The sad thing with trust is it can never ever ever be given back, if you place you trust and love in a person and they trample it into the ground its broken and cant be fixed..

No excuses gifts or sorrys can fix it.

Well OP, I would forgive, but it doesn't mean i'd be visiting those people again for quite some time. Not never again. Just never any time soon. I'd have to cut contact with the two people at first.
