Completely disagree with this. While it might be true in some cases I think it’s extremely unfair to say this about everyone. People make mistakes, it’s in our nature. Maturity is learning from them & changing accordingly. You just have to learn the difference between mistakes & habits. Someone who habitually does wrong probably won’t change & you shouldn’t always stick around.

So true about my ex. He cheated on me several times when we dated.

This isn’t always true. I think that it isn’t fair to make a blanket statement like this. Sometimes people make mistakes that they would never make again. They learn from their mistakes and grow from that learning experience.

Well if it almost cost you or it cost you a relationship with a women we loved. We won’t do it again if they gave us another shot. Or at least if will be in our mind going forward. With our future relationships.

I can’t say I agree. I do believe it is true for the most part, in general, but some people make mistakes… They might do something once, but never do it again.

The problem with generalized statements is that they don’t take into account that people can have the heart to grow….they can have the heart to change….the heart to improve themselves. You have to look at each individual situation and the details within it. There can be many mitigating factors. Ultimately it comes down to choice. What is the root cause of the choice? That is what needs to be looked at.

Haha yup!! We are human… Chances are we are going to make mistakes.. The good ones may screw up once and let us down- everyone deserves a second chance- but if you do it again, clearly they weren’t very sorry from screwing up and letting you down the first time.

Someone will only purposely touch a hot stove once, out of curiosity. After that, they’d only do it again if they “enjoyed the burn”. But in this analogy they’d be both a sadist and a masochist.

I get the feeling most who disagree with this statement are the ones who cheated before lol. Ppl can learn from mistakes but it’s extremely rare. Cause once someone cheats they know they can get away with it again and won’t respect their partner to even begin with anymore. If they do change its like a small percentage. But like others say don’t call cheating a mistake cause it’s not at all its a conscious decision always.

I dislike the truth in this statement so very much…. But don’t believe it to be true 100% of the time. Some people learn from their mistakes and grow from their experiences.

I think this depends. Sometimes they just find a new way to hide things. Other times they are capable of changing. But that’s only if they want to. Glad to see not everyone finds this meme to be true.
My thought is if they do it once and you’re willing to give a second chance then just be careful and don’t be blind.

Totally disagree. Read the Bible. The Apostle Paul was a murderer, hunted down people and a serious hater; gave his life to Christ and turned from everything he did before, and never to do it again.
That is just one example, we can all do the same thing.
Nobody is perfect. Forgiveness is the key.

Not necessarily true. If you don’t believe people can grow and change I’d say avoid relationships altogether. Each person is different.

I’ve given more chances than I could imagine and he does the same shit .well not no more I’m done with him and his lies and sneaky shit

Are you jaded relationship rules?

If this is cheating related then not necessarily true. I believe if you sincerely believe that you made a mistake and admit to yourself that it was wrong, then it won’t happen again.

True, I always give second chances when I shouldn’t. I thought he picked me after the first time I found out he was bouncing back and forth….turns out he really did pick her after all. I just wish it didn’t take him a year of convincing me he wanted me and to this day, still couldn’t face me to tell me. The worst is finding these things out on your own.

Not always true… If you’re capable of learning then of course it won’t happen and if you’re not.. you’re on the stupid side. Those women that bash men all the time are the ones at fault for allowing it to happen over and over again. If it keeps happening the problem is probably you because you keep falling for it. Which destroys your image of men. Most men are very easy to love and when you figure out what speaks to them you will give you the world. And cheating becomes the last thing on their. Men cheat because they… Read more »

I found my ex repeatedly on dating sites. I should’ve learned the first time. We got into a disagreement and she blew up and left. She then tries to lie to my family about a female friend that I had, saying she has a source saying we were more than friends. She used that as an excuse to go back on those dating sites within a week. She either lied about the source or the source lied to her, because I proved to my family beyond any doubt that what she was saying wasn’t true, and a polygraph doesn’t lie.… Read more »

Why is everyone pressuming this is about being unfaithful? ?? So if someone cheats on one person does that mean they will cheat on a new partner?? Why do people act like its the end of the world if a man or woman fks sombody else it’s just sex they can love their partner very much but might have a sexual preference I just think there’s a lot worse a partner can do than fk someone I would be more upset if they lied I can’t stand liars

Yep, 99% true….. there’s only a tiny few that truly learn their lesson after the 1st time.
As for actual cheating, it’s not just a “mistake”.
Serious decisions are made before it takes place… such as having NO respect for your partner.
If someone will jeopardize their relationship for some side action, they DON’T deserve to be forgiven!!

Oh….so the first time someone cheats is a “mistake ” ????? Give me a fucking break already…. no man falls into a woman’s pussy, and no woman falls on a man’s dick. PERIOD !!!!!!!!!!!

If my ex-husband would have been faithful like I was for 25 years. Things would be different today. I have forgiven him years ago. I don’t think our kids have. He did it to his second wife also. I want a faithful, God fearing man that can mean forever when he says those vows.
