Heloise Reeve is verified as being by the original poster of the questionSome more info: First of all nothing happened in my relationship. I am just curious of how this type of situation works.What I mean is: let's say one of the partners has way to much to drink and ends up having some form of sex with someone else. They are the one to confess the infilelity to you themselves. And want to save the relationship and make up for the mistake they made.

10 years later, she still hasn't.
She can't talk about that time, can't bear to think about it.
To this day, I still don't know exactly what happened, because she can't even bear to talk or think about it.
Everyone is different...everyone. But everyone has some things in common when this happens.

After that, the trust has gone, and even if you stay together the magic disappears. If the cheat puts any blame on their partner for the hurt they caused, then it will never be saved. I have never heard of relationships working after infidelity. Forgiving your partners infidelity is a myth.

I forgave but it was NOT saved.
It depends on the people involved if they choose to work it out but TRUST is a big thing, once that's gone in a relationship there really is not much to salvage.
I hope this helps!
