Are there very many chronic cheaters who actually change their evil ways and become faithful?

Question

I was just wondering, because it seems to me that these people have a major character flaw and I'm somewhat skeptical about their willingness or ability to change.

Answer 1

I was such as cheat in high school but then I found someone who filled all my dreams and that was it. For me it was just about finding that 'right' person to change my evil ways. You'd never catch me cheating ever again.
What prompted me to cheat to begin with: I had a need for validation only my current (5year) relationship can offer.

Answer 2

Yes a chronic cheater can become a faithful partner. Life is about trials and errors and what you take from your experiences is what makes you who you are. A cheater can actually hurt the people they love so badly that they never want to feel the kind of pain they inflicted upon them ever again and spend their every moment trying to learn to forgive themselves. I cheated, I can make up all kinds of excuses but I won't. I can tell you that no matter the relationship I WILL NEVER EVER CHEAT AGAIN. I didn't come to this point because of the feelings for future possible relationships, just my own regret that I never want to feel that type of guilt or cause someone to hurt that badly ever again. Cheating chronically actually once it was completely over and I got everything I deserved has taken me almost a year and a half to be able to look myself in the mirror and try to move on. So my answer is yes.

Answer 3

Once a cheater always cheater... well not all the time. I was once that way when I was young, dumb, & full of.... well you know the rest.
Now, with a little age and had THOUGHT he was the perfect guy. I was completly and willingly faithful to him, and it was the greatest thing! My friends for the first 6 months of the relationship had bets to see when I would cheat on him and never happened. The relationship lasted 3 years, until I found out it was him who was cheating on me with his ex-wife.
But yes there is a slight possibilty people can change, not very often but it can happen.

Answer 4

My ex-husband was a chronic cheater and although he tried to reconcile sometime before the divorce was finalized, I for once listened to my better judgment and went through with the divorce. Later on now that he is with his new piece, he swears to have changed from the man that I was unhappily married to, though is still up to his cheating ways. I don't think that the whole "once a cheater, always a cheater" thing applies to everyone who has ever made the decision (or mistake rather ) to cheat but for some unfortunately (like my ex-husband), it does...Take care:)

Answer 5

no- you yourself used the word chronic
can't teach an old dog new tricks
leopard never changes it spots
once a liar always a liar- pathological liars
cheaters are narcissistic egotists who have the mentality of a child- i want what i want when i want it
everything is self gratification
when someone lies about 1 thing they tend to lie about everything
they lie and say they can change but in reality they are like peter pan- they never grow up

Answer 6

Once a cheater, always a cheater, I've found!

Answer 7

Chronic cheaters are probably sex addicts... like any addiction can only be changed if he/she wants to and is willing to really work at it... but........

Answer 8

No, it is the values you grew up in. I can't cheat because I grew up different. It is like gay you are born with it.... you know you are gonna cheat at a very young age.
