It’s no news that people cheat in relationships,
an incident that has accounted for the break-up of many marriages. Meanwhile,
there are always different excuses people give when caught cheating in a
relationship, with the hope that their partners will be convinced enough to
forgive them.

Trust would be lost
Bolaji Oluseyi
I don’t think the relationship can remain the
same again. Once a partner cheats, there will be distrust. For instance, if my
partner cheated, I would not be able to trust her totally again even if I still
loved her. If I travelled somewhere alone, I might start imagining what she
might be doing while I’m not around. Infidelity is a serious issue. The best
thing to do to keep a relationship glowing is to be faithful to each other.
It can’t be normal again
Ojo Bukky
I don’t believe that kind of relationship can be
back to normal. If there was an act of infidelity in a marriage, distrust would
be created immediately, making it impossible to trust each other fully again.
That’s why it’s always better to be disciplined as a couple. Whatever you are
looking for outside is right beside you.
No, it’s like scar on the heart
Amadi Glory
From my point of view, the relationship can’t be
normal again. This is because distrust will be created. Sure, they might not
separate due to the infidelity, but deep down in their hearts, they would know
things are not normal again. I am sure the one who was cheated on would always
remember the incident. It’s like a scar on the heart.
Deep love would be gone
Iyiola Lowo
It only takes God’s grace for the relationship to
work again. First, the cheating partner would not always feel comfortable
afterwards, while the partner cheated upon would not find it easy to love
deeply again. That’s why I said it is only by God’s grace that the couple can
sustain their relationship.
It’d be hard to restore the relationship
Amax Sarah
It will be hard for such a relationship to be
fully restored. Infidelity is hurtful than one could imagine. Let me also say
that the maturity of the partner who was cheated on also matters. But even at
that, the only thing a mature person would probably do is that they would not
separate or file for divorce. They would feel disturbed in their heart anytime
they remember the incident.
Love, trust would be absent afterwards
Don Roberts
If one of the partners cheated, my take is that
the partner cheated upon would find it very difficult to find love again in
their spouse. Apart from love that would be gone, trust would also go. So,
what’s left when love and trust are absent in a relationship? Nothing. To me,
the relationship is dead.
There’d be hatred in the long run
Stella Akpan
Thinking about the act of infidelity can create
hypertension. So, the best thing is to forget about the issue or go for the
alternative. That’s why it’s advisable to leave a relationship or partner one
can’t cope with again due to an act of infidelity. Let’s be sincere, the
relationship can never be normal again. Even if you were a pastor or imam,
you’d always think about the incident once in a while, which might fuel hatred
in the relationship.
Discipline is key in marriage
Layo Olukokun
I always say that apart from love, discipline is
very important in marriage. After wedding, many temptations would arise and if
any of the partners falls into one, it would create problems for the marriage.
It can result to the crash of the marriage, no matter how long it’s been built.
In essence, that relationship can’t be fully restored again.
The relationship can’t remain same again
Igarando Sweeny
Undoubtedly, the partner who was cheated on would
not forget about the incident even if they forgave their cheating spouse. We
have heard of cases of infidelity resulting to murder of the cheating spouse.
Things can still work out
Sanusi Ganiu
Depending on the maturity of the partner who was
cheated upon, I believe the relationship could still work again. Of course, it
might not be easy to get it back on track soon, but in the long run, if there
is forgiveness, a broken heart can still be restored.
