I'll jump in on this - so what is the best course of action to take when you have lost trust in someone? I'm sure everyone is different, but in instances of cheating, if you're willing to make it work, what is the best way to rebuild that trust once it's been broken? Some people have said to start fresh, others have said relationship counseling. Do you feel people can genuinely work it out between themselves, or do you think the relationship just won't go far at the end of the day?

Ah ya, so I agree. In this case would be a long term event, and we have been dating for three years. That being said, he has offered that he wants a future with me, marriage, children etc.. and I have reciprocated that goal.

I would like to see a counselor to work out the way to move forward, and to see if there are steps that can be taken so I won't hypothetically immediately lash out (I could see that being the case if I ended up getting suspicious again). I have tried to tell him that there will need to be a lot of discussion about it, but he's more of a "we already talked about this, time to move on". Lots of work I'd say. Thanks so much for the advice!
