It depends on many factors, including how much I love the person and the relationship that we have together. It is NEVER as simple as black and white....there is ALWAYS a grey area.
However, this does not condone the act of cheating. It is wrong, no doubt about it.
If I found out that my boyfriend of right now (4 years together and living together for 3) was cheating on me, I would do whatever it took to try and work it out between us, honestly. I would expect the same from him, including ending his affair and letting me have some time to settle things in my mind and be angry.
On the other hand, if I was in a relationship that was not strong to begin with and I did not truly love the person, I would not invest any of my time in further trying to reconcile the adultery/affair and continue the relationship.
I find it very hard to comprehend how people can be so black or white when it comes to this issue. Thinking and making decisions based upon emotions is illogical. There is ration, reason, and a myriad of other things to factor in.
