Think about it in another way. Fred has a girlfriend/wife he loves and adores. She breaks his heart by cheating on him and leaving him for his best friend. Fred mourns for years and each year, swears that he will never love and trust again.
Fred keeps his vow. Fred is now 90 years old... alone... and still miserable.

First: Your scenario is not the same situation. Here's the same situation: Fred has a girl he loves and adores, and she breaks his heart by cheating on him, but he forgives her and takes her back and loves and adores her again. Rinse and repeat several times. Fred still takes her back, but THIS time he needs to see her be faithful to believe she will be faithful. He still loves and adores her, but he is skeptical she will keep her legs closed.
That would be the same scenario.
Second: No, it's not "weak." It's being logical and objective and rejecting blind faith. Being a homer is not a sign of "strength" as a fan. It's just a sign that you're a homer.
Homers are fine. Lots of fans are homers. Fanbases need them.
But I'm not going to apologize for not being one of them, and I doubt any non-homer would.
