It depends on what type of cheating: if it's cheating in an exam, then own up to it (if you think it won't get you into too much trouble) but if that doesn't work, remember that we all mistakes for a reason - to learn from them and if it's cheating in a relationship well you definitely will have to own up to it because it is obvious that you don't truly love him/her so just let them go so you both can live life to the fullest, however if they find it in themselves to forgive you - DON'T MESS UP AGAIN.

I remember that this feeling is the most useless and I remember that I took my lesson and I will be better in the future and I will not do something similar again.

Try to understand the reasons you cheated. Just accept that you made a mistake. Everyone makes a mistake at some point of their lives. Forgive yourself for doing something which you regret now. Imagine yourself as your best friend and embrace yourself. You can even try a visual meditation where you can talk to yourself and forgive yourself. There are other techniques which can lead you to forgiveness. Just decide not to be so harsh on yourself and let the happening stay in the past. It cannot be undone, therefore it brings you nothing if you think about it. Just focus on the present. Don`t take your emotional baggage everywhere. Follow the Accept->Forgive->Go on path.

Start to respect yourself. Cheating is inherently wrong and definitely not condoned by many. However, sexual temptation can very strong, especially for men, and that is why people cheat. However, it is also important to know that even though there might be repercussions from cheating (their significant other coming after you or your significant other coming after you or them or their friends/family coming after you etc.), it is ultimately an experience that we can and should learn from. We move on, be at peace with ourselves and don't ever cheat again. When we respect ourselves and improve on our mistakes, we will not hate each other.

Focus on yourself and making yourself happy and a better person, maybe pick up a new hobby and take your mind off it. God made you the way you are therefore you should not hate yourself, there are many more people out there who love and support you. If you ever need any support I am always here to talk and we can have regular conversations if you would like?. Sometimes certain actions have consequences there fore we should all think about what we do. It is not your fault. Move on and be happy, if you don’t learn to accept yourself it will be hard for everyone else.

Feeling guilty and hateful towards yourself can really weigh you down. Being able to forgive yourself and learn from your mistake can be very beneficial in your next serious relationship (or not serious, it depends on you). Letting yourself accept that it was wrong of you to do it and own up to it and apologizing I found was the first step to making myself feel better about the situation, even if my significant other was still "in their feelings" (it's the best way I could put it) I let them know that even if I wrong them, I was willing to do anything in my power to make the situation better for both of us. From there, doing activities that make you happy is very emotionally stabilizing.

A relationship is based on trust and love but sometimes while growing up love fades away and we feel it easier to cheat on a person then tell what we feel. It is not a good thing and it is not a thing to be proud of . Any of us could be on that position and none of us should judge for the things that we never came across. Also there may be some reasons behind it that the other person has shown disrespect and made you feel like you are not good enough. Although cheating made you feel better. Never feel ashamed of something you did because it was exactly what you wanted at one point

It was a mistake and mistakes should be taken as a mistake. Instead of sticking up with past one should look for recovery and self belief to overcome a mistake by doing good. Forgive yourself, practice acceptance, surrender your feelings to higher power, Offer up your feelings to a higher power. I know this may sound shaky, but it really works! We are part of a bigger plan. We are not necessarily in charge of the outcome. By doing this, you will be getting out of your own way and accept and have faith that all will be well.

Of course, making a profound apologize to your partner is essential, and it can make you feel better if you receive forgiveness. But what if you still feel guilty everyday and hate yourself? To be candid, cheating is bad, but it doesn't make you a bad person for the rest of your life. You can't go back in time and change your decision, but you can make decisions for your future. Strive for improvement, and even if you didn't receive forgiveness from your partner, you can forgive yourself. Don't let 1 mistake trap you forever. Remember, others will attack you for what you did, but you are the person that controls your life.
