Pretty much the same goes for me as with lioness81. However, their removal of existence from my life doesn't have to be forever. I will require time to be apart (that means NO contact!), and I will decide how much time is necessary (basically, whenever I am truly over it), then maybe we can try and be friends again. One must realize that I do not go back to romantic relationships once I end things. I close that chapter of my life forever but we can try and re-establish a purely platonic relationship. Once those romantic feelings cease, they never returned. I am forever turned off so resuming a sexual relationship is absolutely not an option.

I'll always care but I do not tolerate betrayal. I give my all in any close relationship and in that "all" includes utter vulnerability. I'm not afraid to put myself out there like that but I won't be walked on either.

Leos are loyal and self respecting people....to forgive and forget isnt even an option if you're cheated on. Sure, you can go back, you can be friends, you can even be lovers again and/or move back into that relationship but as a Leo? I could never forgive nor forget.

A fullstop would need to be put at the end of the story that once was and a new chapter or story begun. To forgive is to give as before....if giving what you gave before allowed your partner to cheat? then continuing to give as before isnt going to stop them from doing it again.

To punish indefinitely wont work either...one would need to truly put a fullstop and start again doing things differently....will it work? all stories are different and it depends on how in love and how the relationship can thrive knowing that the person you loved so much could betray you in the worst possible way with somebody (mostly) who meant nothing or very little. Time also heals and everybody is different with how much time they need.

Most people who cheat are only sorry they got caught or they'd have stopped it before getting caught. Ive been with a cheater and his only answer was "I didnt know how to end it" and "I didnt want to hurt you nor her" but thats just a cop out...he was getting it from 2 women and he was enjoying the attention....can I forgive? not on your life.

The simple answer is - DONT CHEAT on people you say you love, dont say you're in love if you are going to cheat, dont pretend you're in a committed relationship when you have your feelers or penis looking elsewhere. And for those who have been cheated on? You cant possibly forgive (giving as before) but a relationship can certainly survive infidelity but there are costs....depends on how strong the relationship really is.
