Should Robert Pattinson Forgive Kristen? Our Girls Debate!

Patricia Says No

Robert should absolutely NOT forgive his cheating girlfriend Kristen Stewart. It is devastating enough to find out about an affair let alone have pictures of your girlfriend kissing another man plastered across tabloids throughout the world.

It’s all well and good for Kristen to release a public apology exclaiming her regret and love for Robert but if she really cared about him she would have had the courage to tell him before he found out from Us Weekly, or restrained herself in the first place.

I have no sympathy for Kristen. She knew what she was doing and she knew that it was risky. An affair always is when you’re a celebrity and I can imagine how humiliated Robert is today after the shocking revelations.

Robert and Kristen have been in a relationship for a long time now and the infrastructure for any good relationship is trust. Could he really ever trust her again after this affair? How does he know it hasn’t happened before?

I think it would be foolish for Robert to take Kristen back, especially career-wise. It would be better for him to separate himself from the actress because there is no point signing yourself up for more heartache.

More importantly, there are so many wonderful girls in the world who would never treat Robert so terribly and maybe he could find a woman who actually smiles on a regular basis! Sure, it will be awkward for the pair to promote the next Twilight film together but ultimately, a leopard doesn’t change her spots and neither will Kristen Stewart. 

Rebecca Says Yes

It’s not that I am condoning what Kristen did, because cheating is wrong whichever way you look at it, especially when there are loved ones and families involved. And I was as disgusted as the next person to hear about her infidelity.

But, I have to admit that I still think she and Robert Pattinson make a really lovely couple and I would really hate to see them break up. After all, it’s obvious they love each other and yes, you shouldn’t betray the trust of someone you love under any circumstance, but what if they’re meant to be together?

Besides, she has apologised and described the whole thing as a mistake. I’m not using it as an excuse, but the girl has an incredible amount of pressure on her shoulders. She’s bound to break at some point. While most women book themselves into a spa to de-stress, Kristen decided to do something a little less refined.

And while I don’t know if I could forgive her, I do think that he should be left alone to make up his own mind. And if his decision is to forgive her, then I say good for him and good luck to them as a couple.

The media and the public just need to back off and let the pair sort through it themselves. There’s no need to manipulate pictures so it looks worse than it is. There’s also no need to harass someone when they’re going through an, albeit self-inflicted, difficult time.

Yes Kristen did make a mistake. Yes Robert probably should dump her, at least temporarily. But it is his decision. And if he does decide to end the relationship, it will mark the sad end of what I saw as a promising young love.
