Infidelity in a relationship is nearly impossible to overcome. I didn’t say it was impossible, but nearly. Cheating is the top reason couples get divorced. And if couples with a marriage certificate (and possibly a mortgage and kids) couldn’t get over it, that gives you some idea of just how challenging it is. If you’ve been cheated on, but you’re not married to the person, you don’t even have all of those extra bonds to keep you together. That’s something to keep in mind if you’re going to fight for this relationship and try to overcome infidelity. When you’re in the immediate throws of post-cheating, all you can think about is whether or not to stay with this person. But what you don’t think about is what life will look like after making the decision to stay with him. It’s not always pretty. Here’s what it’s like to take back a cheater.

Your friends judge you

Your friends will judge you. They may not outright say it, but they think you’re being naïve and weak. They think you’re just staying with him because you’re afraid to be alone, or you don’t know your self-worth. If you walk in the room and they’re whispering, yes—they were judging your decision.
