If someone expects to take back a cheater, even moreso a chronic cheater, without therapy or without said cheater proving through having taken courses on how to over-come their self absorbancy, need for instant gratification and their addiction to strange, then IMO the cheated upon are being more afraid to be alone then they are in love and therefore trying to be forgiving. Codependency is not love, living with someone who shows you unloving actions, who repeatedly offends, who makes you unhappy but you don't give them up is codependency.
Anyone who forgives on a hope and a prayer without insisting on the two of them getting the education they need to be abale to make their marriage work after such a betrayal are mostly going to end up in the same boat at a later date.
