We all make mistakes, some are big and some are small but we have to realise that the hardest part about a mistake is to realise what you have done was wrong and forgiving yourself. You have cheated on somebody, you ruined their trust that they had given you and you have to make it up to them. You have to show that person that you have learned from your mistake and you will change, that person might not accept this but it's important that you let them know that you care about them and you will change even if they don't care.

There is one moment of weakness that made you do it. You are a better person than you think you are because you know that cheating is wrong. Don't hate yourself, just own what you have done and keep in mind how it felt when you cheated and pledge to never do it again. Also if you want to get over the hate then come clear of your actions, tell people who are involved that you have done something wrong and ask for their forgiveness. Assure themthat you will do it again. Maybe they will understand.

I realized that I wouldn't do it again and it helped me see that I wasn't that bad of a person. I forgave myself and so did the other person

First you should accept what happened has happened and you will never be able to change that fact. You should be open to take responsibilities about the consequences of your act. Once you accept, you feel healed but you will always carry the scar.

Come clean with the truth, tell your partner they deserve to know. Realize that you're human and life is all about learning from our mistakes. Forgive yourself, but never forget what caused you to cheat. This way you can avoid this in the future.

In my opinion, the most important thing to start with is to learn to accept that you are not perfect and that you deserve to forgive yourself for the mistakes you have made. We all make mistakes, no matter how big or small, they deserve to be forgiven.

If you've found yourself cheating on a loved one, or spouse, the best way to stop hating yourself, is to find yourself. By now you've probably already asked yourself "why did I do it?" And "am I a terrible person?" Although there is not a defined or exact answer, I've found that the best medicine, is to find yourself. Ask yourself not just WHY you cheated, but what you are expecting/ what you expected to happen. Some people cheat because they can't conceive children with their current partner, some cheat just to see what it's like, some cheat because as sad as it it, they do fall out of love. Some cheat as a result as being under the influence. To stop hating yourself, you need to find what you're looking for and find yourself. Find out if you actually want to be in a relationship.

Starting the journey of self-acceptance and forgiveness. This will take time and might require making amends with your past and bouts of emotional challenges, but the process starts with accepting and learning from your mistakes. Seeking help from a mental health professional to work on coping mechanisms and behavioral techniques to begin the healing process can help immensely. I speak from personal experience, and it has been one of the most trying but rewarding processes of my life. It can be a struggle, but learning how to show yourself compassion and love even in little ways can help tremendously. Hang in there. We all make mistakes; some small, some big. We ultimately decide how we will to respond to them. :)

First of all, you should write down what were the circumstances that led to you cheating. Then, analyse why you thought it was okay to do it at the time. If you hurt someone you care about, sincerely apologise to them and let them know how you feel. You deserve to be heard. Then, know that you did everything you could and it is time to let go. Eventually, you will forgive yourself.
