This is not a question answered with a yes or no. People are different and couples are different. They have different sets of values and they experience the betrayal of infidelity in different ways.

Also, weakness as a personality characteristic isn’t really adequate or applicable to the hard choices people have to make around reconciliation. For some people, the giving of a second chance will take an incredible amount of courage and love; for others, it will be an acceptance of human frailty and, for still others, there will be no giving of a second chance- a broken vow is irreparable.
