    Yes. It's possible to save the marriage, but it takes a lot of tears, work and forgiveness.

    Possibly. I'm skeptical, but I think it depends on too many factors unique to each marriage to make a snap judgment.

It alls depends on the who the couple. For some once trust has been violated, it is impossible to trust that person again.

I think cheating is most painful, It breaks the trust you feel for your mate. If you truly love each other, make it work.

    My own marriage did not. Once that happens there is no trust. I could not go on without that.

      It totally depends on the marriage. Most people don't have many experiences to choose from either.

        No! You simply must divorce and clear out the cheating bastard's bank account!

        TRUST ISSUES WILL ALWAYS EXIST! AND THIS SHOULD NOT HAPPEN, EVER, IF YOU STOP AND THINK AHEAD OF WHAT YOU HAVE TO LOSE!
