Question:

My boyfriend cheated on me. Now we're trying to work things out but the pain still keeps coming back. Can you actually let go of the past?

Answer:

This is a difficult one. Some people can easily forgive a cheater, but as the saying goes, once a cheater – always a cheater. I don’t blame you for finding it difficult and feeling pain every time you think of the situation – no girl should have to go through with that. Maybe taking some time apart to assess the situation from afar might be the answer for you at this stage.
