Question
I cheated on my boyfriend in Jan 07. I recently told him this month in May. Since the night I cheated, we have grown strong and even considered marriage. But now that he knows he doesn't know if it will work out anymore. I love him very much and I would NEVER think of another man again. He says he forgives me but he can't forget it and it is killing him. We are spending a few days apart right now and I feel when I'm away he'll realize that he doesn't need this. I know I love him and I know he loves me. Will we be able to move on and be the same we were before?

Answer
It all depends on if he really has forgiven you for what you've done. Your only hope of this relationship getting back on the right trust is if you can regain your boyfriend's trust.

My advice to do that is first apologize for your mistake and try to explain why it happened. Then promise that it will never happen again. Next you just have to show him through your words and actions how much you love him. From then it's just up to time, just give him a little time to get his thoughts together and see what happens from there.

I hoped this helped and good luck
