You can't know how you would act, unless you've walked in another's shoes.

Not because I couldn't forgive (I probably could, depending on the circumstances) but because I know my partner would never respect me again if I let him get away with it.
I think what you really mean is that you would never respect yourself again because there is no way you can predict how your partner would react.

Our relationship would, henceforward, be founded on weakness, and that's not a relationship worth having.
It would be founded on humility, not weakness, although many tend to see them both the same. Humility actually requires more strength and courage than most of us have.
God Bless the struggle,
