Forgiving your partner for cheating is difficult - but some people can make it work. For most people, getting cheated on is an absolute dealbreaker. No one likes to think that their partner would rather be with someone else and, even if the affair was a one-time thing, it could still plant seeds of doubt into your head about whether your significant other actually wants to be with you - and whether they'll do it again.
One man who managed to forgive his wife for cheating, however, has been living happily with her for over a decade. He believed everything was fine in their relationship, and they went on to have two kids together - but he's recently found out a shocking detail that changes everything.
In a post on Reddit, the man said his wife initially cheated on him with her boss 10 years ago, and the affair caused the couple to "separate briefly". A year later, the pair reconciled, and they've been together ever since. He explained that they were able to reconcile because his wife transferred out of the office where her boss worked, so he felt sure the affair - which had already ended - wouldn't start up again. However, his wife has now dropped a huge bombshell on him - her old boss is working on the same team as her again, and they've been "texting a lot.".
The man wrote: "I've been told it's mostly professional, but they are friends. They go out for staff drinks together. They give each other rides to events. They text on weekends (work-related or otherwise). She has told me they are friends, she enjoys his company, he's happily married, and I would get along with him if I got to know him (I've refused).".
