I think we all would want that (the cheating spouse express remorse). But why is that? What does that give us? If the cheater doesn't verbalize their guilt, does that mean he/she doesn't fully accept responsibility? And if they don't accept responsibility, that means they might do it again? Or they are a bad person?
A bigger question that I struggle with in this area - and as you all know, my ex had an affair that destroyed two families - just how can we trust a cheater. The old adage once a cheater, always a cheater isn't that far off base.
I'm not sure as to how I could ever fully trust after not only being cheated on, but also being lied to over and over again to my face. That's not love. To do that, the left the marriage a long time ago. At this point, I'm not even sure how I can regain the trust in her. Ugh.
There are moments in this life when you are so confident in the rightness of your actions, that not even for a second do you consider the option that you might be wrong.
