Do you think therapy can help my cheating boyfriend change?

Tagged as: Breaking up, Cheating<< Previous question   Next question >>
Question - (15 August 2008) 1 Answers - (Newest, 15 August 2008)
A female United States age 41-50, *gbaby writes:

My boyfriend has cheated on me twice now in our relationship. I love him dearly and because of this I forgave him the first time with the understanding that he would never do it again. Now he has.

After I found out I immediately broke up with him but he came crawling back telling me that he will do everything in his power to change because he "loves me" and I am the one that he wants.

He wants to seek counseling to assist him with some of the problems that he has and to help him work towards remaining faithful. He scheduled himself an appointment for this Monday.

I guess my question to you all is do you think that therapy can help? I have heard once a cheater always a cheater but what if they are willing to seek help from a counselor? Any experience with this? Thoughts?

kenny agony auntIm with Kinky Boots on the Leopards never change their spots thing. I think that if he cheated on you once then the likellhood is he is going to do it again, the question is are you going to stick around and let hit happen again. My advice would be to leave him and move on, and find someone that provides you with the love and respect that you so rightly deserve.

All the best x
