Sometimes, the advantages of the second chance far outweigh the satisfaction that would come from a quick exit. Taking your time to make the decision that is best for you will help you avoid a lifetime of asking "what if?" It's not going to be easy to forgive and forget and take your ex back after he's cheated on you. Aside from your friends who tell you to take revenge on your cheating ex boyfriend, the numbers tell a different tale. Many still stay in the relationship despite their partner's cheating.

Should you get back at your cheating ex boyfriend?

If you love him enough, then there's no reason for taking revenge on him. Revenge only sets in temporarily, sometimes in great haste. So there's no guarantee that getting even on him will make him experience the pain you went through when he cheated on you. You might even hate yourself for being just like him - a die hard fan of his own satisfaction without even considering the people around him.

No matter how tempting it might seem for most women, it does exactly the opposite of what is expected. For most women, that means living with oneself after the revenge has been claimed.

Why is revenge still the best way to go despite the stinking outcome?

Some women are more adept in doing everything for their so-called revenge on their boyfriends. But then, they are divided in terms of principles. Some of them didn't really love their boyfriends so it's okay to just let them go without any serious questioning or whatsoever, while others deeply love their boyfriends to the point of regretting even the though of getting even on them.

The hardest part of a relationship is the decision-making - whether you will walk away after your boyfriend's cheating or convince yourself that you need to stay and try to work things out. You need to go in with the plan of succeeding or you need to do both of you a favor and get out before things getter bitter between the two of you. There's no point in ruining the good memories you have together by learning to hate one another.
