If you cheated on your partner and are now feeling remorseful, the best course of action is to express how sorry you are for causing them hurt. Apologize for breaking their trust and reassure them that it will never happen again. Reassurance of your commitment to the relationship and understanding why their feelings of betrayal run deep can help with the healing process. To move forward, talk with your partner about ways to restore trust in the relationship, such as couples counselling or having a third-party mediate conversation. Although they may not forgive you immediately, giving them space along with showing genuine contrition can help repair the damaged trust in your relationship over time.

Focus on what a commitment your relationship is and how deeply you both feel for each other. Explain that it’s normal to want to explore and make sure you are both fulfilled, but reassure them that cheating was never an option. Emphasize how ashamed you feel of yourself and convey sincerity in order to show your partner that this was an isolated incident, not indicative of any underlying dissatisfaction. Be certain to keep your promises and make frequent displays of affection — do whatever it takes to prove loyalty and earn back trust!
