Just like the title of the thread: Why would anyone forgive infidelity? I'd like to hear all the different reasons. I'm interested because this happened to someone in my extended family and everybody's all about sweeping it under the rug,don't say a word, it never happened. And the spouse who was cheated on is a cousin of mine that I have long treated like a brother, so I'm just mildly p*ss*d that his parents, mine, the whole lot don't stongly take his side and tell this woman we welcomed into our family to shove off. And when I've tried to talk to him about it, he says he appreciates my loyalty but he's "dealing with it." What kind of limp-wristed passive crap is that? Ugh, I'm so mad. I know without doubt that if my wife ever did what his did, we'd be front page news the next morning. And it goes the other way; no woman should put up even ONCE with a cheating husband. Why doesn't anyone refuse to take abuse anymore?
