No. but i know of people who have and are able to have a deeper relationship after this. They've managed to stop making a 'story' out of it and get to the bottom of things.

If the relationship involved zina, then it would be better to get separated, at least temporarily. Make sure he/she has truly repented before even thinking of being together again.
Forgiving does not mean having to stay married to each other. If the love is lost, it may not come back again.
Until you have experienced it, it is difficult to say for sure.

It depends on the situation. As long as you feel the strength that your marriage can work and your spouse feels the same way, then both are on the same page. You need to talk to your spouse to assess the situation. Hope this helps.
I was caught in this situation about 7 months ago. Though sometimes I try to forgive but I simply cannot forget what I found out.
After all the talking and promises made by my hubby..it happened again a few times within this 7 months.
It is very hard because everything you've built are all flushed in the drain. Trust is hard to earn.
Especially when you have young children or am expecting at that point of time.
As much as I want things to work out...it is just too difficult to be norm again. It is especially emotionally distressing. It all depends on how strong and capable you are to either live with it or not.
My advice...whatever it is...we women have to learn how to be independent especially financially. So that we have something to fall back on if the worst happens!
