Infidelity - What is your view on infidelity? What would you consider infidelity? Would you stay with someone who has been unfaithful to you? Why?

Infidelity is one topic that touches people in different ways because it carries a quiet kind of pain that is hard to explain. My view on infidelity is simple, it is a break in trust, and trust is the foundation of any relationship. When someone steps outside the agreement of loyalty, it creates a wound that may not show on the skin but echoes inside the heart for a long time. I see infidelity as something that changes how two people look at each other, even if they pretend nothing happened.

What I would consider infidelity goes beyond just physical intimacy. It includes emotional closeness that is hidden, secret conversations that feel too heavy to share, and any act that makes your partner feel replaced or less valued. Sometimes the betrayal is not in the action alone, but in the intention behind it. When my partner starts giving to another person the affection, attention, or energy that should belong to me, it already feels like crossing a line.

Whether I would stay with someone unfaithful to me depends on a few things. I would look at the sincerity of their apology, the reason behind the mistake, and whether they truly want to fix what they broke. I also consider my own emotional strength because staying with someone after such a hurt requires healing that does not come quickly. I believe forgiveness is possible, but it must be active and honest from both sides. If the person is willing to take responsibility and rebuild trust brick by brick, I might give the relationship another chance, but not without careful thought and honest conversations about what went wrong.
