Trust After Infidelity- Is It Possible?

If you catch your partner cheating and you guys eventually work things out, can you go back to trusting the person again?

There's a saying that goes "Trust is like a paper, once it's crumpled it can never be perfect again". Do you agree with this saying? I do. I believe once trust is broken  it can never be fully restored. There will always be that tiny voice in your head reminding you of what the person did. No matter how hard you work to fully regain that person's trust, it can never be the same except of course the person develops partial amnesia. So if you can't deal with the consequences of getting caught then don't cheat and if you can't help but cheat then don't get caught!

I think it's easier for people who are dating to deal with issues of trust because you can afford to walk away and start over without looking back. But when you are married.....it's a whole different story it's becomes even more complicated if you have children.

I have friends who say they can never leave their husbands because he cheated, they say it's stupid to give up what you have spent time and energy to build for another woman to come and reap. Then I have those who swear they would leave their husbands in a heartbeat if they ever catch him cheating. I say you never really know what exactly you are going to do until you are faced with the situation.

I also think men are tougher on women when it comes to infidelity. Women will often forgive their boyfriend or husband when he cheats but most men won't hear of it....they will rather end things sharply and move on. My friend tried it with her husband..... The story get part two but we'll talk about it some other time.

So let me ask the guys that cheat, will you forgive your woman if she does the same? Please don't tell me its a man's world 'cause I've gotten that response from a few guys I asked. 

So my people, what do you think about trust after infidelity? Is it possible to restore things back to what it used to be after the damage has been done? 

Has anyone had a personal experience they care to share?
