Do you think it's possible to stay with a partner whose cheated on you? Can you rebuild the trust and closeness you had before, or would you feel it's completely broken?
I've recently been in this situation myself, but I won't go into a massive rant about it, I was just wondering everybody's thoughts.

It would depend on lots of things I guess.
Ditto, and I realised pretty quickly that the relationship was already halfway down the drain because I couldn't trust him implicitly. Then he cheated again and the fate of the relationship was sealed...definitely one person for whom the saying "once a cheater, always a cheater" rings true.
However, of course every relationship and every situation is different and should be judged as such; I can't see myself ever taking back an unfaithful partner again but I'd never say never.
It all depends on how much you love the person, how long they were cheating on you for, how serious it got, how far they went with the other person (he hadn't slept with her although I think the intention was there) and what they see for the future.
