"Once a cheater, always a cheater": Men and women spill the tea on taking back cheaters, share stories from their own lived experiences

They say that cheaters never change. They may learn to hide their infidelity and how to say the right things to manipulate their partners better, but they will always be drawn to other people. Some cheaters claim that they do it because they are not happy in their relationship; others insist that they crave the thrill of doing something socially unacceptable. All cheaters, though, regardless of their justifications, lack respect for their partners. Whether a relationship can bounce back from — not just a betrayal — but a demonstration of one partner's low regard for the other, varies case by case.

Below, internet commenters who have been cheated on reveal the outcome of taking back their partners after infidelity. While some stories end in breakup or divorce, others seem to have had some level of success in continuing the relationship. All, however, admit that the trust that was broken never quite healed all the way. Scroll down for more.
