In my experience, having been through this situation, is to sit down with the person and go through exactly why they cheated, what drove them to do it and what their outlook is for the future. Honesty is important and to move towards trusting them again as cheating is normally coupled with lying. You, or at the time I, need to hear and believe why they cheated in the first place. Once you are convinced they have been honest with you, you can then decide what it is you want to do going forward ... I hope this helps

You don't, If someone for a second could be with someone else and kiss them or make love to them without thinking about you, then they do NOT deserve a second of your time. You're amazing and you deserve someone who is willing to give you the world. You don't deserve someone who'd rather be with someone else than you.

Forgiving a cheater does not mean promising him or her you will forget about the infidelity. It doesn’t involve condoning or excusing the cheating, or staying in the relationship if you don’t want to. It’s all about how you feel, both towards the partner and internally.
Forgiveness is part of the journey of moving on with your life after someone hurts you in such a humiliating way. It’s about looking out for your mental health, not letting the cheater off the hook.

It's all a matter of preference. If you really want to be with the person, you could choose to forgive them, but keep in mind that they could do it again.

To start this answer off, I have been cheated on in the past, I forgave the person and moved on with my life without them in it.
If someone has cheated on you, it brings up a huge conflict in your mind. On one hand this person is someone you care about more than most on this planet but on the other they have managed to hurt you more than most people on this planet could. You just can't accept that the person you cared about so much could hurt you like this.
The way I personally viewed it was that the person who I loved had passed on and didn't exist anymore, I missed that person but they were never coming back. The new person in their place wasn't someone I really knew so I held no contempt against them, I said my goodbyes and grieved almost. It hurt a lot but it was the right thing for me to do in my situation.
Only you know what's best for you in your situation, seek help, talk to people as much as possible and you'll eventually realise your own feelings about your own situation. Only then can you begin to move towards your desired path, which, if you want, will lead to forgiving someone.
(Just remember that relationships can range from a week long thing to 5 years and married, every situation is unique)

We have to forgive someone because we have to be stress free and should stop thinking themselves even they will understand our positive attitude

Truth be told there is no way you can completely forgive someone who has cheated on you. Because unlike any other bond it's the purest and most intimate. Breaking it thus will cause intense pain on the other side and I don't have tell you about that right?
But I guess the closest we can do is to try to figure out why the other person did what he or she has done. Why cheat on you? What went wrong? What made them leave your side? Why did it happen? It's okay if you don't get the answers. You can ask them like in a friendly manner. It's called closure. No one with atleast some conscience can deny you closure. Ask the other person why what and other stuff you want to know. But beware you may not like what you hear. But at the same time the other person might exagerate too to not feel bad for what they have done. But usually closures give an insight into what mistakes you have done on your part which will improve you as a person.

being cheated on is an extremely hurtful and emotional experience but remember you will come out of it a stronger person. Initially it will hurt and you have to go through the emotions to overcome the pain but time is a healer and you will come out at the end with more wisdom and find a person that truly deserves you.
