Being cheated on is one of the most painful things someone can experience. I don't know firsthand, but I can only imagine.

Fortunately for me, I've never been cheated on. Still, I wonder if I would want to know if my partner cheated on me. On the one hand, not knowing. Ignorance is bliss, as they say. But on the other hand, I would also hope my partner respected and loved me enough to disclose that kind of information to me.

I think if it were a one-off cheating situation, I would want to work things out with him. But of course, it depends on the circumstances. If the cheating were something that happened again and again, I don't think I would be able to forgive him. In my opinion, it's morally wrong and just downright unacceptable.

Either way you look at it, cheating sucks. And if I cheated on my partner? Well, I think I'd definitely tell him, because if I cheated, it would mean the relationship wasn't working and that's something worth talking about.
