kitty01: You have been together for a long time, then what would you do?
We would definitely have some thing to discuss, includiing what we expect of our relationship, why he needed to cheat, where ifany whwere we go form there. A visit to the Dr. for STD Testing is in order.
My last relationship ended in this type of deception, and lies where told and anger by him was had, however as hurt as I was,it was was it was and I was gratful for what we had and what we shared,also being a very trying time in my life. BUT,I am worth far more then that of sharing and so it ended.
kitty01: If you partner is cheating on you. Would you want to find out from your partner or have someone tell you?
And given the choice I would prefer my partner to tell me.
A friend of mine went thru this. He lived in a town with a population of about 5000 people and in Ireland everyone knows everyones business. He was trying to become a Prof Golfer and was travelling a lot. Well his wife started having an affair and it went on for nearly a year. Everyone knew about it but him.
Eventually his best mate told him.
To this day he still feels it as ,to him, he was being made a fool of and I never understood why one of his friends did not tell him sooner......
kitty01: If you found out would you confront your partner, and what would you do if he lied to you, but you have proof.
I overheard my ex tell his friend all about the affair he was having, that was my proof. I confronted him, he denied it, said i was crazy to think such a thing and that i'd misheard what he was saying. I knew who she was. So it was when i suggested that maybe i should let her know that he was denying her that he owned up.

Good for you, omg.
I would want to know, and rarely do I hear that people found out from their partner unless they caught them in the act, so I wouldn't expect that this would be how I'd find out.
What would I do? Boot him. This is a zero-tolerance issue for me. I don't lie and I don't cheat, and I won't tolerate anyone who does. I'm worth more than that.
It doesn't matter how I found out. It doesn't matter how much I loved him, I'd tell him "I don't want to hear it meant nothing" and "I don't want to hear it was only one time and I sure don't want to hear "I'm sorry". There is no forgiveness for cheating.

I would take an in depth look at myself and see what role "I" played. What did "I" do that would have possibly caused a partner to leave the relationship in that manner.
OH!! I know.. It is always their fault, "I" do nothing wrong..
It doesnt matter how I found out, if I found out for she she was cheating, I don't care if I was with her 30 yrs... BYE either she would be out the door or I would be out the door, either way she is done...period

Maybe not always but there is no excuse for cheating IMO.
If they are not happy in a relationship and can not resolve it to their satisfaction, there is always an option to leave this relationship.
Many disagreements/misunderstandings/etc. between two ppl can be forgiven and forgotten if addressed and resolved. Cheating is not one of them. It will always hurt, I think.
hopefloats: Pat. Oh I don't have fear of my partner's friends. Heck, my ex had more "girl" friends than "guy" friends. Didn't bother me at all. I was just referring to the fact that if MY friends know my partner is cheating and they do not tell me, then I don't need them as friends. Just MY opinion.

In reality, which is hurting more? The cheater, or the one cheated on? Think in terms of guilt..
