Hey guys,

A friend recently asked a couple of questions that very got under my skin and I wanted to share them with you. How can a relationship survive dishonesty and is it okay to go back after your partner has lied?

Here's my answer:

That’s a tough one. It depends on the dynamics of the relationship as a whole. If the relationship was solid (no prior problems) and the person made a mistake and confessed their wrong doing without being prompted to do so then I believe a second chance may be in order. But the relationship will not work thereafter if the offended doesn’t honestly forgive them. How can a couple move forward down the path of life if one partner always looking back at past grieves? Now if they cheated then I don’t think I could go back, they’d be community property after that. YUCK!

Luckily I found a wonderful man who thinks cheating is, in his words not mine "Gross". Gotta love European men!  I'd love to hear your thoughts.

Cheers,
Tracy
