Would you take back a repeatedly unfaithful partner?

[AB Asks]

A relationship counsellor's husband made a revelation after 25 year's of marriage � he had been repeatedly unfaithful throughout their marriage. Her husband had even had an 18-month affair with her best friend. However, in the end this woman took back her cheating husband and insists that his ways have changed and that now they have a more open, honest and understanding marriage that is better than ever. What do you think? Could you ever take back a partner who had repeatedly been unfaithful to you?

Being no angel myself in past relationships I know from personal experience that if you are unfaithful once you will be unfaithful again. I believe that if you truly love some1 you cannot be unfaithful. I knew the first time that I was unfaithful that it was the end of my relationships and that I would have to end it.
The person being cheated on his humiliating themselves and the cheater deep down despises them for constantly being a mug.

I have taken partners back who have cheated. Sometimes it is easier to face the rebuilding than the pain of losing the person. I probably wouldn't take come one back now though, as I learnt once a cheat always a cheat no matter how much they say they'll change, nothing happened. yadda yadda

Many people would feel a relief and move onto new scenery, so to speak, quite happily rather than trying to keep a dysfunctional relationship going.
