If I forgive him for cheating, what can I expect to happen after that?
If you forgive him for cheating by talking through what led up to him cheating and how you can both change something to rebuild trust and commitment, you can expect a stronger and deeper connection. If, on the other hand, you forgive him without working through what happened, how you both feel and what you both need, there’s a chance that forgiveness could turn into resentment. Everything always comes down to communication and collaborative problem-solving.
