You need to accept what you have done, You made a bad mistake, But we all make mistakes and the only person who can make you stop hating yourself for that mistake is yourself, You need to make yourself understand that "Yes I made a huge mistake...and I won't do it again" But mean it this time. You have to forgive yourself first before you can stop hating or blaming yourself for what had happened.

I need to accept the truth and the thing that I have done was my past. However, we all know that we cannot change the past. We just have to let it go and learn some experiences.

Know that you are not a horrible person. You are a human that has made a mistake. If your partner is still with you, and knows, spend time building trust. If your partner is still with you and doesn't know, tell them. If your partner left, take your mistakes and use them to be a better lover in the future.

Having a full control of ourselves is a nearly impossible mission. We make mistakes, we make decisions we are not proud of. However, no one is completely good or evil. If you cheated, it was a bad action, but does not necessarily make you a bad person. You need to re-evaluate the reasons why it happened and prevent the conditions that could create that from happening again. You need to act positive to the world and compensate with kinder actions. Regret will get you nowhere, only active action will.

It's hard to accept that you made this mistake, and some people may even make you feel like you deserve every negative thought you're giving yourself. You're only human. Learn from your mistake, take in what it does, and forgive yourself. To forgive yourself is to let go.

Well I hope my answer is helpful When you cheat it must be an awful feeling and you will be blaming yourself...but don't forget we are all human And we make mistakes and we have to know that every problem is not impossible to fix do the right thing thing you know would be best to help your relationship to me being honest would be the best thing I would do and find a way to redeem myself which would be a process but by being honest to myself and my partner I know that we can fix any problem

You have to ask for forgiveness and aslo forgive yourself .. You apparently feel guilty and that is a good thing cause what you did wasn't nice but you learned your lesson and so move on

It is always good to start off with apologizing to the people you hurt and finding closure first. Like every mistake, it is okay to forgive yourself and move on or learn from the experience. It has happened, that doesn't mean you should hold it against yourself for the rest of your life. You just have to take each day at a time and work towards moulding yourself into a better you.

It takes time, but you are not a bad person, you realize you made a mistake and you can't flame yourself forever, prove yourself that you have changed in your next relationship
