JujuB, I'm not advocating for anyone to start or stay in a relationship with a serial cheater. I just understand what Painter is saying about the heart being beyond the control of our intellect. Our brains tell us one thing, but our hearts don't always cotton to the idea.
In the other hand, can I forgive someone for cheating? Yes. I think I can, because I know that I am also imperfect, that I once wanted something I wasn't getting in my marriage. Would I take my WH back? Well, that's another thing altogether, and a choice I may never get the opportunity to make.
Phoebe,
I agree with you, I can forgive also since I recognize I am not perfect. I can't say that my STBXW is a serial cheater. I think she has deeper issues that she does not recognize. I am hoping that some of that comes out during the psych eval.
