If your cheater is still making demands….
…then you can be assured that they are not really sorry about cheating and did not really “get” the devastation of their sin against you.
A person who cheats and grasps how awful a betrayal it is will not then turn on the faithful party to make relationship demands. They understand that the restitution is fully on them for that relationship.
A cheater who does not “get” this is far from a repentant one.
Sadly, this likely means the faithful spouse has nothing to work with as far as rebuilding the marriage from the infidelity-bombed-out ruins.
The cheater making demands is the entitled and arrogant. This is heart condition that led to the sins of adultery–i.e. arrogance. Until that is changed into humility, the marriage has no hope of rising from the ashes.
