Probably not. It depends on whether your connection is emotionally based or physically based. It also depends on who cheated. And it depends on why they cheated. If one person is really wanting sex, and the other person just isn't, or can't, and there is little communication, someone might cheat. But before anyone cheats one must wonder, why stay? If you're willing to cheat? Why not just leave? It doesn't matter if afterwards you (or your partner) feel guilty and bad and regret it. The reasons you/they were willing to cheat are there.
If it was a one time thing and the cheater is never going to see the cheatee again, then maybe it can be okay. But if it was a crush that developed and then turned physical. The betrayal of having been with your partner while knowing you wanted this other person, undoubtedly lying about it and so on. That is hard to mend. You know that thing they say about trust. That it's like a plate. And if you throw it on the ground, saying "I'm so sorry. I don't know why I did that. I'm a jerk and I'll never do it again" well, that doesn't unbreak the plate.
In some instances it can't, but i like to look at the positive side of things. Yes He/She cheated and yes He/She BEGGED for forgiveness, at the end of the day we should sit with that person and find out the REAL reason for their actions, I know its hard, but we owe it to ourselves to fill that void of not knowing. Cheating is never a mistake, it is always a choice thought about long and hard.
Yes, if you or the other person chooses forgiveness or either of you never finds out.
