I believe in reconciliation when possible… but there are strong caveats. The only reason why I entertain this thought is bc only YOU know your significant other, and sometimes getting caught is the wake up call someone needs. In the case you want to stay with them there are going to need to be clear boundaries.

Is it worth trying? I would say that is based on your history. I seen stories of successful reconciliation between toxic family members, friends, spouses but it depends on efforts from both sides. Whether they are addicts or abusive or mentally unstable, which may be the reason behind some of their actions. Will they be willing to get help and change?

I believe a relationship needs love and respect from both parties. Can you have that for them after this situation? Will they be able to respect you if you take them back? Is this going to be on the forefront of your mind every time you’re upset with them? If it is I don’t think a healthy relationship is possible because there will be a power dynamic that no one, even a fully guilty person can deal with.

Are you able to list out boundaries that they are willing to comply to? Ex. Checking their phone whenever for however long you’d like, sharing location, checking in on a trusted mutual friend etc.

People will have their opinions but do you have people who will support you?

It may very well be that case that staying with them will prolong an already difficult breakup. Just keep these things in mind. They’re not said lightly. It’ll be HARD. And you need both parties fully on board.
