Would you forgive a partner who cheated on you with someone they were "in limerence" with? My current SO has known this heroin addict for most of their adult life, cheated with said person in every relationship, said person has never been seen in public w/ my partner. Funny, but sad and pathetic. Most of me wants to forgive and move on. But the thing that gnaws at me the hardest is the fawning over this person. Describing them as so sexy, "crashing out" over non-responses from them. We spent a weekend together after I found out, lots of sex and I love yous. Lots of apologies I just don't want to face the music, I guess.
Heroin addict is kinda retro (or Scottish).
I 'forgave' him in that I was too pathetic and desperate to cut ties. He repaid me by cheating again. It sounds like you are mentally preparing yourself for that too. These situations don't often merely fizzle out by themselves. I'd say you're basically already in a poly situation by the way you describe it. Your choice on how much you feel like you have to lose by ending the relationship.
Forgiving only works if the guilty one is 100 % sorry and taking action beyond words and promises.

"cheated with said person in every relationship"
Do you really think anything will change, considering this?
I do not think I could forgive someone, no. People tell you who they are through their actions.
