Question
I recently cheated on my spouse of 5 years and Im truly sorry. i did not have sex with the  other woman but we did talk on the phone and i bought her flowers and earrings. the worst part is that she met my son. my wife is devastated. she found out about the situation while snooping through my emails. well i really love my wife and this situation made me realize that i was really wrong and i love my wife and don't want to lose her. last night she told me she no longer loved me and that we will probably not make it. now I'm devastated i know the fault is mine but man i made a huge mistake and want her to forgive me. i really want to keep my family together i love them so much. what can i do to help her forgive me. i know all she does all day is think of the situation and makes herself mad she says shell be stupid to take me back cause she will be like every stupid girl out there.  i love her and need her what do i do?

Answer
The only thing you can really do is apologize to her over and over again. Just tell her you know you made a mistake and you regret it. You're sorry for what you did and you promise that you'll never do it again.

After that all you can do is hope that she forgives you. And then time will fix things eventually, you just have to make sure you don't make this mistake again if he does decide to take you back.

I hope this helped and good luck.
