Can people change? Or is it just a matter of time before they do it again?

Um, I guess it really depends on the individual. I have seen instances where someone cheats more than once and where others have stopped after the first time. I believe that everyone makes mistakes and deserves a SECOND chance. Not a third, fourth, fifth, sixth, etc... If the person truly loves you, then they will literally cherish the fact that you are giving them another chance, and will do anything in their power to ensure that they don't mess up again.

There are some people who can change. I know because I'm one of them. I cheated on boyfriends a couple times in the past. It's something I will never do again. In fact, I haven't in more than 10 years. I am at a different place in my life and would never even consider cheating. If I ever had the desire to, I'd speak to my partner about it. That way I could fix the relationship I was in rather than look to someone else.

I think it would take alot for people to change in that area. I would just stick to the saying that once a cheat always a cheat...once they do it they cant get enough of it

No. That's not true. I think it depends more on the relationship. If a partner has cheated on you, he/she is more likely to cheat on you again. However, that is not a good indication of how that person will behave in another relationship. Some people are just cheaters though...

No, that old adage is incorrect. The more appropriate phrase would be, "once a cheater always a cheater in that relationship."
People change, but they do it on their own time. (IE. - when they aren't in a relationship) I was once a cheater, but I changed. I took an active movement in my life to change what I didn't like about myself. But I wouldn't have changed if I hadn't had time alone to reflect.

Not true at all. Everyone can change but it's a matter of wanting to change. You just need the right motivation in order to do it!

hmm..based on experience on my previous boyfriend..once a cheater,always a cheater..i guess forgiving them makes them think that no matter how many times they commit sin then we would always forgive them..but i still believe that there are still people who would change..rare though..

People can change. but it is up to the other person to understand that it may not happen when they think it should, and if you are willing to accept and wait.

they can change depending on circumstances. dont assume just because they used to be one, means they will always be one.
some learn from their mistakes, and it makes them a much better person.

Once a cheater, always a cheater.
Just trust me on this.
