Cheating is a common yet complex issue faced by many women in relationships. While it is a dealbreaker for some, other women may choose to stay for various reasons or the hope that the man may change.

Relationship experts get real about cheating partners

According to relationship experts Heather Reen and Benton Rathbone from PairShaped Couple Coaching, unfaithful people can change, but they will only change when they are ready to.

"A leopard never changes its spots. There exists a widespread view that people don't change. So if a partner has lied to you, they will always lie to you. If they have cheated, they will cheat again. This is a generalisation, but it is one that has some measure of truth behind it.

"Change is difficult, but it is possible. People can change, but they have to want to, and they have to be willing to take the necessary action to change. It will be clear pretty quickly if their changes are genuine or not. These are important things to consider when staying or going back to a cheating partner."
