Some people believe cheating is a pattern, while others believe people can change after facing consequences. What have you seen in real life?
Users debate whether cheating is usually a pattern or whether some people genuinely change after consequences and self-reflection.
The problem is that the betrayed person cannot live their life waiting to see if the cheater learned the lesson. Sometimes leaving is not about punishment, it is about not gambling your peace again.
That is such a good way to put it. Staying can feel like betting your future on someone else's growth.
I know someone who cheated once, went to therapy, changed their habits, and never repeated it. So I don't believe it is impossible. But change requires more than regret. It requires understanding why they allowed themselves to cross that line.
In my experience, people who cheat and then make excuses usually repeat the behavior. People who cheat and are genuinely horrified by what they did might change, but only if they do serious work. The reaction afterward tells you a lot.
