Admit that you made it mistake and try to not do it again. Remember that you are not alone in your mistake and that others have done it too. Remind yourself that you want to be better than what is expected and that you want to be better than you were when you cheated or lied.

It may take a while but time heals all wounds. And eventually you will learn that everyone makes mistakes and you don't have to beat yourself up.

Everyone makes mistakes, It's what makes us human. You recognized you made one, it's time to move on and learn from it. Life is made of experiences and those experiences, bad or good will make us learn and be a better person. Forgiveness is so important. Forgiveness is acknowledging that those bad experiences made you learn from them and know the consequences for them. Remind yourself that like everyone else you're gonna have bumps along the way and that's okay.

Forgiveness is so very important. We are all human and our imperfections have the tendancy to shine through on various occasions. This does not mean that we must put ourself through a self loathing process. Forgive yourself. Use your emotion to remind yourself to learn from your imperfect actions.

Sometimes we have to remember we are only human. We make mistakes. We're not perfect. What we do to come back from our mistake is what matters. Love yourself for who you are. Allow yourself to learn from your mistake and keep pushing forward.

It can be hard to forgive yourself after such an event , but reminding yourself that you are after all a human and human beings do make mistakes in addition to that you can also do something self less for others that can put a smile on their face to remind yourself that you are still a nice person and that lying or cheating of yours cant remove the goodness in you.

Make a personal resolution to not repeat that behavior. Then make an honest, heartfelt apology to whoever you hurt. If they don't accept it, it's on them but at least you made a true attempt at resolving the issue.

Tell the truth, weather it hurts it not. I personally believe it's the only right thing you can do.

You really can't, all you can do is try to move forward and hope your partner will stay along side with you. I cheated on my boyfriend, it was awful, I still feel awful. I probably will deep down for years. You hurt someone you have feelings for, it doesn't stop hurting you. Honestly, the best thing to do is to discuss with your partner the situation and hope they stay with you, and if they do, promise on your relationship that you won't ever do it again.
