Relationship Advice: 5 Reasons Why You Shouldn’t Bring a Cheater Back into Your Life In 2025
Things were going so well, and you were so in love and happy. Then your boyfriend made a stupid move and the spell was broken. He cheated on you and apologized for it a million times. He swears it will never happen again and that you are the only one he wants and begs you to give him another chance. I hate to tell you this, but it’s not enough. Here’s why you should never bring a cheater back, no matter how tempting it may be. Don’t do it!
Why You Shouldn’t Bring a Cheater Back into Your Life
1. He seriously screwed up.
Yes, he knows it and keeps saying he’s sorry, but once isn’t enough? If a guy punched you in the face, would you take him back just because he apologized later? Of course not. So why should you let him trample you and break your heart?
2. He can do it again.
A strange thing happens when someone crosses the line and gets away with it. They get the idea that they can do it again and get away with it. If they’ve gotten away with cheating once , they may think they can try it again later.
3. He can still be with her
He told you he was done with the woman he slept with, but can you really trust him? You will experience regret for his infidelity, particularly if you discover that he continues to pursue her. Let’s be real. His “it didn’t mean anything” line is usually complete bullshit. Sex always means something.
4. This could mean the end of your relationship
You might think that the night with her really didn’t mean anything to him, but it did. Besides, even if he really doesn’t want to see her again, that doesn’t mean everything is okay now. The guy cheated because something was wrong between you. Or something was wrong with him.
Cheating is just a symptom of this or a result. Do you really want to stay on a sinking ship? I don’t think so.
5. You can never trust him.
Okay, maybe you can get this incident out of your head, but let’s be honest: it won’t be easy because it has planted a seed of doubt in your head. The next time he tells you he’s going away for the weekend with his friends (guys), you’ll think he’s actually dating someone else.
The next time he says he’s just being platonic with his best friend, a little voice in your head will wonder, “Is that true?”
