Should I trust a cheater again under these circumstances?

Question

Was 6 months cheating with his ex-gf & a handjob from a friend of his ex, as well as a couple coed group things.
I found out from a friend, not him, and from his ex herself. And he had lied about it until I told him that his ex had explicitly told me what happened. When told, he broke down crying while I was crying, wouldn't let me touch him because he said he was unclean, let me take a LOT of day-after-finding-out rage out on him physically (slaps-backhand and front, punches, a kick, etc), and now is very good about saying what he's doing, is very kind, very patient, but kindof expecting me to move on for us to move on, which is a little pressuring.

We've talked lots about marriage and kids (even though we're in our teens), and had been together 5 months before the 6 month cheating period and 3 or so months afterwards.Always been good friends besides lovers, never bored. Should I give it a 2nd try and trust him? We really did seem happy & in love, was it just a stupid 1 time mistake?

Answer 1

Cheating for 6 months..plus other stuff....is not a 'one time mistake'. It's a pattern. This guy is a cheater. Stay with him at your own risk.
