Could you forgive being cheated on?

Honestly, if I was in a relationship, I wouldn't care if my partner was sleeping with other guys, as long as I was her priority and she kept the emotional stuff for me.

I don't see the point of being completely closed off to one person. I don't have enough trust and faith in people to spend my whole life with one woman without expecting her to hurt or abandon me later on down the line. I would rather play it safe and go with an open relationship. Besides, it's unnatural to sleep with only one person your whole life.

So yes, I would forgive, so long as I was kept a priority.

If it’s an open marriage where both parties discuss that they might be seeing others and both agree to that. It’s either polyamorous situation or open relationship or what not. It has nothing to do with cheating/lying. If it’s an open relationship, then what’s there to forgive? No lying is involved

I personaly don't think that cheating denotes that a marriage is 'bad'. Pride often gets in the way of pragmatism...and choice is subjective, and in my opinion forgiveness doesn't mean someone is weak...it isn't a one size fits all.
