Is it ok if your partner doesn't stop someone they get along with kissing them so long as they only did it because they thought you were cheating on them?

Let’s try it this way. If I kicked your dog, would that then make it perfectly okay for you to kick it? And does thinking that Sean maybe kicked it earlier make you kicking it now any less cruel/stupid/fucked up? No. No, it doesn’t. All you’re left with is a dog that doesn’t understand why it’s been kicked twice (maybe even three) times, two (maybe even three) angry people, and a huge vet’s bill. The only winner out of the whole sorry business is the vet. And just pray that nobody’s phoned the RSPCA...

Actually, I think I'd be much more likely to move on from an indiscretion in a relationship if the person who made it actually took responsibility for it. If someone can demonstrate that they are not a sociopath who tries to blame and gaslight their partner rather than refusing to be accountable for their own actions, then it's just easier to trust them moving forward.

No and I would tend to avoid dating such people who think it's OK to cheat back - especially if it's only a suspicion...and has this person actually talked to me about their suspicions, because that is a while other thing SMH
