Something that was discussed in my group therapy session last week. Can a cheater change? There were some interesting responses, but in the end, the longer the affair, the less likely the cheater can change. If they have and they’ve witnessed the devastation caused by cheating, the trauma and the abuse, and they’re able to cheat again after all that, then yeah, they’ll cheat repeatedly. They are so completely selfish and manipulative that all they care about is themselves. They will sacrifice their partners, their families, their friends, and even their children all the while pretending to be the victim.
The corruption in their integrity and the twisting of their morality that enables them to abuse their partners is not one is easily overcome. A number of factors come into play – including number of times they cheated and the types of affairs.
The best success for change is the one night stand type that only happens once. The relationship that person has might be trashed but future relationships have a chance of infidelity not being a factor.
The people who cheat more than once are selfish and more likely than not will never change. They’ll just monkey branch and cheat from one relationship to another. So the best thing to figure out is if the person has cheated before in a relationship.
