How many times can your heart be broken by the same lover before it's unfixable?

Situation: You and your lover have grown up together and been in love for a very long time, but over the course of your relationship they have betrayed you and lied to you on a regular basis, but you choose to forgive. You wonder if there is ever a point to when you cannot forgive anymore, or if love really does "conquer all" and as long as you care for each other, you can forgive and forget no matter what the problem.

Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

Forgive, yes. Forget, no. A broken heart is never unfixable; however, it take hard work and sometimes it means splitting up in order to fix the broken heart.

Depending on the couple, lies and betrayal may point to a deeper problems between you. Love can only take you so far. Without trust, honesty, respect and communication, the relationship is heading for heartbreak. If you truly want this relationship to last, I would suggest seeking relationship counseling. The key is honest, open communication.

There maybe somethings you need to say to each other, but you aren't saying them for fear it will hurt your partner. I'm telling you, not saying how you feel hurts much worse than coming clean and moving on. Seeing a councilor may help some of these things come out in the open.

Remember, relationship are a two way street the other maybe lying to you (and there is no excuse for this); however, it is also important to look with in yourself to what you and contributing or not contributing to the relationship.

This specific example sounds like codependency.

You can't put a number of times someone betrays you as a definitive point between where everything is normal, and it is not, but a general rule of thumb I have is that if you have to ask the question, it's probably too many times (yes, even if that number is 1). If someone has been betrayed and lied to multiple times, and returns to have it happen again, they need to realize that their "love" for this person is not a love of that person, but a love of the ideal "person" that is nothing like the betraying, lying jerk that is not worthy of your time.

Sometimes, I've found that some people seem to focus so much on an idealized version of their partner that they don't have the faintest idea who they're even in "love" with is.

Your heart is never unfixable but you may wonder why you would like to be with someone who breaks your heart. There are plenty of people all over the world who will give you love, why choose someone who will not?

Because you think you'll never find another one as good as she/he is. Obviously, you are not searching either.

You can forgive as many times as you want to. I don't think there is a point at which you can't, unless it's something that causes much damage and physical harm, especially to third parties, like because of their actions you end up homeless with kids.

But if you truly want the best for them (the definition often left out of what love is), you have to ask yourself why is it they keep being untrustworthy and unfaithful? Perhaps they're having a hard time accepting that they really don't want to be in the relationship.

If they're going to continue the untrustworthy behavior, I'd say that no matter how many times you forgive them, they're going to continue to do things to betray you. It's a downhill spiral if they are never taking any initiative to fix their behavior and the relationship.

And just because of that, I'd end it. You can still forgive them, but that doesn't mean putting yourself in the position to be hurt again.

No matter what anyone tells you, relationships consists of games and thus are work. This makes perfect sense if you realize that anything in life that is worth anything, isn't easy.

That being said I came up with a rule many many years ago, which is; Be willing to walk away, or be willing to dragged behind.

It sounds to me that you are so forgiving that you get dragged behind.

If you are being true to your self, and not masochistic, to maintain high self esteem ONCE. If someone really has those feelings for you, then unless your definition of a broken heart is consistent with a "soap opera" standard, then that should be it

Broken heart as in.. Giving your all into the relationship where they cheat on you, but apologize profusely and promise to earn the trust back.

When you get tired of getting your heart broken you will walk away. The question should be: How much abuse can you take?

I'm done after my first time. After that, I'm looking at her through the corner of my eye, if I even tolerate her again. That's my philosophy.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me.

As long as you are her/his puppy, she/he will never respect you.
