text: would you forgive your spouse if they cheated and created and new life?   no way, i would be way too hurt. plus if they do that then they don't really appreciate you. so why should you stay with them. i might forgive them if they cheated once when they were drunk or something, and i could tell that it was absolutely something that they regret and i am the only one they want. however, making a separate whole new side life from you, that is just saying that you are not enough for them for one. and damn it....why would anybody forgive anybody who would do that s***. they don't even deserve a new girlfreind or wife ever again in their entire lives!!! if that happened to be i would tell any new person that he attempted to date what happened, so they would leave him!! he doesn't deserve s***!!
