The single fact that you came to hate yourself is a sign you are ready to forgive yourself. Forgiveness is not given to us by the priest, but by mediocrity and repenting.

You need to face up to what you have done in the light of your own values, and truly own your actions. When you can first acknowledge that what you did was in contradiction to your values, without excuses, you can then start to accept that you made a mistake in your life. When you appreciate we all make mistakes, it can become easier. But, caution, a mistake is only a mistake if you can learn and grow from it. If you can do this you will slowly start to forgive yourself.

You try to understand yourself and your partner, you communicate and admit the mistakes to yourself. You could try to be open minded and seek to find your hidden needs and frustrations.

In life, people make lots of mistakes - cheating being one of them. You shouldn't hate yourself if you have cheated, but you should contact the person you cheated on to see how they are doing and how you can help them get over this bridge. Just think positively and know you are human, you are prone to making mistakes.

Remember that no one is perfect. Everybody makes mistakes and thats okay. Its all a part of being human. The most important thing to remember is that you always learn from your mistakes and now you can do something about it.

To be able to move on from something, you have to be able to accept it first. You have to accept that what has happened has happened and there is nothing you can do about it and you can't go back and change it. All you can do is accept that you have done it then move on, put in the past and learn from it.

Everyone makes their own mistakes! Just clear your head until you feel a bit better and then think what you can do to prevent that situation next time, because hating yourself is not the answer to anything

You need to come to terms with the fact that the reason you cheated is because you were unhappy with your current relationship or yourself. You could not satisfy and if you cheated, it means that you're unsure about how you feel. In order to stop hating yourself, you first need to accept what you did and realize that you're not a bad person, you just aren't with the right person.

Don't cheat anymore. Hating yourself is something hardcore, and if you feel that way because of something you did, stop what it is you're doing. Give it a few days/weeks, and the feeling will go away.
