In this generation, when cheating is being increasingly frowned upon, breaking up such relationship sounds like the obvious way out.

However, in a poll we recently conducted, readers say they won't be so quick to end the relationship. Instead, they'll give that cheating partner another chance to make amends and right their wrongs.

The poll was published on January 25, 2017, and asked "If you caught your partner cheating, would you give them another chance?"

38.7% of readers voted for giving another chance to making the relationship work, while 12.9% voted for an emphatic "Hell no!"

Interestingly, 48.4% say their forgiveness or otherwise will be based on what exactly the partner did.

Cheating generally involves relating with others, especially members of the opposite sex in such a manner that leaves your partner betrayed and in some instances, rejected.
