• It's never a good feeling to find out your partner has been cheating on you.
• But it doesn't always have to mean the relationship has ended.
• According to Ashley Madison, people who have been unfaithful themselves are more likely to be forgiving if their partner cheats.
• This could be because they are more aware of the nuances of cheating, and know it means an opportunity to fix what's broken in the relationship.
• However, some cheaters are simply selfish and are unlikely to ever change.
