Love is the battery of life....

Hi,
The answer is yes (it is possible).  There are many many examples to that.  But it won't be easy..... In fact it's a long process that has to be built slowly slowly, increment after increment, with mutual: support, sensitivity and wisdom..... actions speak louder than words: the actions should always suppor the words....  Three keywords: Time, patience, love.
Best regards,

Love your life as you only get one. 

A marriage can survive an affair but it's not easy. Try reading Forgiving an Affair. It may help with some ideas on how to overcome the mistrust.

Honesty is the best policy.  

I don't believe a marriage can survive an affair, especially when its the wife. Generally, the love is gone, the trust is lost. A wife who cheats on her husband is garbage!

Live simply, love generously and  care deeply.

 

Hi,

   I think it's difficult for a marriage to survive an affair be it the husband or wife.  When one feels cheated, it's difficult to forget.  I know we should forgive because no one is perfect.  If my husband cheated on me once I don't think he'll get a second chance to cheat me again.

I would never forgive an infidelity.  Infidelities are deliberate acts, not accidents.  It takes will and an affirmative decision to breach the vows and the trusts.  I do not think that I could ever love that person again.  I would vacate the marriage and start over, as painful as that would be emotionally and financially.
