Do you think love is stronger than a mistake?

Question

I think love should outweigh any mistake..i want my wife back too

Answer 1

It can be if you work at it

Answer 2

I agree with others that say that it depends on the mistake.

If it was an affair or anything like that then at least one of you CHOSE to risk ending the relationship. The part that is difficult is not having the love as much as creating something that both want to be in.

There are different kinds of love. There is only one kind of trust. You lose the trust and most likely the kind of love that wants to be with someone goes too.

I left my exhusband because he lost my trust. He didn't cheat...and neither did I. He just made a mistake that he wasn't willing to admit or change. One mistake doesn't have to end love...but if you lose the trust to believe that the other person cares about you more than anyone or thing else...then you don't get it back.

Did you make the mistake? Everyone wants their love back...but they don't care if they destroy the other person in the process. Try sitting in the person that is hurt shoes. Do what you would want done to make things right.....

If my ex-husband would have done that, he would still have a wife. Instead he made the mistake and then spent lots of time tell ing me why he was right in what he did. He is living very alone now.

Answer 3

Sometimes the person who has been done wrong can't get past the mistake. You can't force them to forgive you. Have you tried joint counseling? Maybe this could help your wife and you work through any obstacles standing in the way of a reconcilliation. The person who made the mistake will also have to work really hard on gaining the trust of the other and those actions will always speak volumes about how truly remorseful you are about doing what you did. If you love your wife and think there's a chance you have to go for it.

Answer 4

Love certainly is stronger. Only a fool would hold an honest mistake against their mate. I can accidentally bump my wife, or forget to put down the toilet seat. She could burn dinner, or accidently break my fishing rod. No problem. BUT, what you're talking about isn't a mistake. You or she were unfaithful. That ISN'T a mistake, unless you had your clothes blown off by a hurricane, and then were blown away, landing between someone's legs. That would be accidental. Cheating isn't accidental, or a mistake. It's deliberate. Totally different. Totally unforgivable. People try to say it's a "mistake" BULL. Usually, the only "mistake" is getting caught.

Answer 5

depends upon your mistake. If you cheated on her, that is betrayal, and betrayal is the cancer of any marriage. When trust is gone, it is over, for a very long time...... counseling can help, but sometimes it is just better to walk away and find someone else, which is apparently what she did, right? It's a real kick in the crotch when a wife leaves a husband FOR NO ONE ELSE, isn't it?
"Once a cheater, always a cheater" has lots of truth, and you'll need to go a long way to prove to her otherwise. Love? That is pretty much destroyed with betrayal -- like a puff of smoke right in front of your eyes..... happened to me. The instant I found out, I ran away, never to return.
"I don't share." and she probably feels the same way...... sorry for you, especially if you have huge regrets. Tuff to get back trust, sweetie.......

Answer 6

Depends on the mistake. If the mistake was cheating then no because I don't think someone who really loved you would cheat on you. If it's abuse that's not love either. If you love somebody you would never want to do anything to hurt them. That doesn't mwan you won't argue but it does mean you'll look out for them and that includes what you're doing. Sometimes even when you love somebody you can't be with them that's why it's not fair when somebody cheats on you. Other things I think you should be able to work through unless they are equally as bad as cheating.

Answer 7

i takes two to make it and one to break it .no love can not be stronger then a mistake .commitment can be .i ask every person on there wedding day this question ; what well you do when you stop loving your intended marriage partner ?if they say they never well then they are not being realistic .we all stop loving. what we do after that well determine weather we well start loving that person in the future or not.

Answer 8

It would depend on the mistake, who the mistake was with and how many mistakes happened.

Answer 9

Love Conquers All... If you want to forgive and take her back, this "mistake" could happen again... Seek out marriage counseling...

Answer 10

It's stronger than some mistakes, but not others. Once you destroy trust, it's all over.

Answer 11

yes, it is :) whatever it is that you're going through right now, hold on to what you believe in...get your wife to believe in you again and your love...i guess if your love is strong enough for the two of you then, it will work out in one way or the other...love will see you through :)
