I know I'm going to receive a lot of bashing here but I don't mind as I'm looking for solution. I've been following other related threads on the topic and it seems most men don't forgive women that cheated on them.

I cheated on my man. This happened over a year ago when the relationship was going through a rough patch. Actually I didn't set out to cheat and never planned it.

In fact the person it happened with was a person I was confiding in when I was trying to get solutions to my relationship issues.

This person was my married colleague that I joined to work in his car. I thought I could get mature advice by telling him. I was weak and emotionally down and on one of such days of crying to him it happened in his car.

It happened like 3 more times because I go to work with him and come back with him. But I was overcome with guilt (because he was married and for cheating) that I had to stop. But my mistake was that I didn't cut him off completely.

I remained cordial friends with him since he is a colleague and I stopped joining his car. He also moved to another branch. He called occasionally to try his luck but I never gave in. Somehow my man became suspicious by his calls and one thing led to the other and I had to confess.

My man said he has forgiven but can't get back together again. I have been following other threads with similar topics and I saw that men find it very hard to forgive a woman that once cheated.

In this case I'm truly sorry, I have learnt my lessons and I can never make that kind of mistake again. I don't love the man in question, I never wanted anything from him apart from advice from the onset, I stopped on my own, I only remained friends because he was my colleague. I love my man and will do anything to keep him and win his trust back. I'm not a cheat by nature.

I'm heartbroken and filled with guilt and regret. I can't talk to anyone in my circle for fear of condemnation because I'm wrong in every area.

Please is there any hope for me? How do I go about winning him back? How do I convince him that I truly regret my actions? How do I help him heal?
I will advice you continue begging and add prayers but the truth is the scare will always be there, even if u tell him u want to go to the toilet, a part of him will still be saying u are lying.
that is we men for u.

Cheating is NEVER a mistake, at least not twice, thrice or a fourth time. If your bf had expressed His reservation on you car pooling with that man, I'm sure you would had tagged Him 'insecured '.

These things follows a trend, when you have issues with your guy/babe, the best person to have a heart to heart talk to remains your guy/babe because the third party might just capitalize on your moment of emotional imbalance.
Cheating does a lot of harm to the psychology (men and women).

You did not confess until he became suspicious.

Your excuse of why it happened is not honest, or it should not have happened more than 1 (once).

PS: It happened to me but I forgave my wife and we are still together. Not all men are the same, not all women are the same too - You should have told him when it happened, if this was the case I would also forgive but not get back with you as well.

its not really about fish brains pls. women are created like that, in religion, we d men are told that its better we touch fire than touch a strange woman cos it could generate sexual tension from d woman. On d other hand ,men don't really get into sexual tension when touched by women either mistakenly or deliberately.
All this thoeries are lies....

A lady keeps besties that his attractive like every guy does and one day they give in to the guy and it is not because of her been emotional down or been touched sexually
A lady has more sexual control tha a guy of a lady cheat 100% blames goes to her she did it willingly
Dont be fooled by useless thoeries

God bless you �, this is what we ladies are facing every day, men are allowed to do all the wrong things n get away with it, they hit u, cheat on u, etc. And apologize just once n we come running back to them. It is well...pls men learn to forgive n forget too.
My advice to that young lady is to move n become a better version of now herself in d next relationship...wishing her peace
There is actually no one forcing you to 'forgive' and keep staying with a cheating husband or accepting of his nonsense.

It is solely your decision just as it is his decision not to take back a cheating wife or an abusive one.

It's called principle and that of most men, particularly around relationships, are just about the same. I can live and tolerate just about any lady but one I won't spare is a cheat. True, there are more ladies who cheat these days but the patterns and signs are there ab initio and they are often ignored by guys.


Lol... That I forgive a cheat does not necessarily mean I can continue with them. Trust is broken already and there's little or nothing to be done about it. For me, I think people shouldn't be swayed by beauty or dress sense, accent and all those nonsense. Focusing on an individual is the best way to see what they are capable of. I can't recall how many times I have dodged bullets by ending with serial cheats who believe they can love easily after moving in the company of 3-4 men and finally settling for one.

I have my limits, as a human and as a man. Be saucy, be entitled, be whatever, but don't be a cheat and there'll be peace. For me, that code is as simple as anything.

About most wives being cheats, I think their husbands failed at finding certain things out.
I understand you.
Let's assume all men are alert and noticed there cheating wives or gfs,the question is if all decides to pull out - How many ladies will be left to marry? In relation to the men on ground.
Believe me, a lot of ladies and married men are cheating more than what we believe.
On instamessenger, codedruns, universities, hotels and bars etc are all gfs of people here on nairaland and in nigeria all boasting they can't tolerate a cheat yet alot going on in front of there nose.

U can't heal him when u haven't healed urself.
U r loss urself, how do u find somebody else?
Don't allow a mistake define u.
Show him d new u. Full of confidence n courage.
Its his choice whether to come back or not.
There is no choice there just dont put her in more future pain with your advice no guy wpuld stick around a lady who he had probably invested financially and she could do was payback cheating on him
Ask her what benefits she has even been to her said bf other than sex you would find out its just sex only but she could chest on him and claim she was emotionally down
Imagine if she was also marries to the guy ...
I am really not buyi g your advice you're probably petting her to do more instead of scolding her ,if she heed to your advice more gbese to her
She should probably not even go back to the guy even was the one who rsquested for it ,it would be dangerous
She did cheat with the married guy with full
Awarenes of herself and to make it worse to a married guy
She literally hurting two people hete the wife of the guy and the bf

She is a born cheat, lets leave it like that

The worst set of hypocrites in this world are men. You can go Bleep as you like either as married man or while dating but it is a taboo for her to do it.

Let it be known here that I am not in anyway in support of cheating while married or courting. But let the truth be told, if you access 10 men, married or courting, at least 6 of them had at one time had sex with someone not their mate. One thing is sure, if this babe is the one that the man confessed to, she will happily forgive him and move ahead with the relationship.

Why can't men sometimes do same. Especially when you know your mate isn't promiscuous but was overtaken by moment of weakness?

Sis, please gather yourself together and concentrate on your work and life. I give you 3 months, a RESPONSIBLE guy will be dying to be your man. And if your present guy (soon to be ex) comes back, tell him he was in the past but you have moved on.

Please abuse me ONLY if you know you are innocent and never cheat. God is watching!!!
Bleep your opinon

Lets start from here what do most ladies contribute to the relationship than sex, but
most men have to contribute everything even up to the finace and the regularly calling and conversation men are basically the backbone of the relationship and what our ladies would use to thank us back is cheating and you're simply taking side with them, If most ladies are the backbone of every relationship they will dump a cheating bf evn before the action takes place.

Secondly most ladies are gold diggers in nature so they will bear anything in the relationship such as the guy cheating because they know if they get angry and leave the guy ,they may run at loss ,they probably would find it hard getting another serious guy ,or a finacial boyant guy so they endure the relationship not because they want to ,but because of thier own selfish reasons , that's why when they get married they openly frown at it ,unlike when they are dating and swallow it ,

Be a broke guy and cheat on your girlfriend and watch how she leaves you....without thinking twice

If you loved your guy as you claimed, you wouldn't have cheated on him. That's a fact!

Cheating because your relationship was on a rough patch is a dumb excuse! Every relationship do have rough times too. In fact, it is mostly when things are rough in a relationship that one knows if there's real love!

But you blew it for a few flings, not once but severally with a f*ucking married man and in the f*ucking car! No self respect, nothing! You acted like a wh*ore and I bet you're! And you expect the guy to just forgive you after he caught you? Not even that you came clean on your own, you only came clean when he caught you!

If I were the guy, I would warn you to never contact me again or else I get you arrested! The guy dodged a huge bullet by not ending up marrying you! You should move on with your pathetic cheating life!

In most cases, a cheater is always a cheater. I despise cheaters who falsely claim they love person they cheated on! That's no love! You ruined your relationship, move on!

I have read a lot of comments here and I only feel soory for you.

THE NEGATIVES:
First of all. You guys had consented sex, stop blaming it on the married man and on your emotions.

I think you really didn't genuinely love your bf. If you did, you would have stopped after the first time and amended your relationship with him by all means possible.

I[b] am sure you later discovered that the person you were cheating with isn't ready to have a life with you apart from the sex. And you had to run back to your supposed bf. If the married man wasn't married and was willing to marry you, I am also sure you wouldn't had even remembered to apologise to anyone or feel any guilt.
[/b]
HOWEVER
These may be your way forward......

Give ursef time.
Pray to your God to help you heal.
Get busy with work,
Disconnected yourself from that married man (mind you, he didn't take advantage of your vulnerability as we always hear from you ladies. You may have taken advantage of his too. cool).
Be grateful he has forgiven you. Don't push him to accepting you back. If he comes back later, be very open with him like you would be to yourself.

Please don't let anyone make you feel like you have committed the worst crime on earth. A lot of us had been in this kinda mess before. And I must commend your efforts for confessing to him.
I feel you are a good woman..Please don't do that again for the sake of love..
Stay Blessed Butterscotch92

Mr Sanchez, if all men keep dumping cheating gfs/wives, believe me, only 3 out of 10 men will have wives or faithful gfs left.
A lot and i mean a lot of women are fornicating and not faithful. The figure is very very high compared to what people believe.
Now the question is - should we forgive this ladies and continue or destroy family set up?
Because a lot of men will be without wives or should we just scrap marriage and adopt gf/bf pattern?

Ogbeni, is it a must to get married? If they all cheat, then so be it. You men need to place value on a woman dating you, else she won't also really value you. Many of them don't already bring much to the table, yet you re enabling it by giving free pass to cheating.

Cheating is unforgettable

You are now contradicting yourself, your fiancée cheated on you 3 times and you forgave her, so why not forgive her the 4th time or the 10th time since sex is overrated and you are very forgiven, afterall as a Christian, you should never tire of forgiving.

She told him because he became suspicious of their phone conversations, she did not tell him of her own violation after the incidences. She was still cheating with the guys (although not sexually), by talking with him on the phone.
i forgave her because i was always away. and on some occasions, we had little issues and i told her its over . so mr, i am not contradicting myself. if i was around and she did it , i will see it differently. roger that?

I'm here to bash and I will do so thoroughly. My name is shibaraba and I don't mince words.

Not once, not twice but thrice. Well Peter denied Jesus three times. Your man is not Jesus. And I hope he never forgives you.
How dare you.
I'm feeling his pain as I speak.
As in My personal punna somebody nack am. No be even for better hotel.... For inside car. Abasimikipanyong. Cheating is a process. What lead you to do it once it's sure you'll do it again.
Me advice for you, better continue nacking your colleague and leave your man. For if I was your man, we will keep dating till My wedding day... With another. Turn you to lord of the rings. You go turn maid, cook, driver, anything I want and I still won't marry you. For I will always see you as an okpo. And anytime you come back from an outing na soso sperm I go dey smell around you because e go be me like say you just go lick preeq finish.
No vex... Na my mind I talk. Truth is bitter. This is the truth

I know I deserve all the bashing I'm receiving here and more. But I wonder why it's very difficult for most to believe that I'm actually repentant about the whole thing. I know I really hurt my man which is part of my pain. I can never repeat such action no matter the circumstances with what I've learnt and I believe if I am lucky enough to get a second chance I'll be a much better version of myself and be forever grateful. It happened in the car because I wouldn't have agreed to follow him elsewhere by then it would be premeditated. I rejected every of his attempt to meet him anywhere else. Those were moments of weakness although it cannot be justified.
Take my advice or regret it.
The guy is right and it's best you let him be regardless of your new intentions. It's a slap on him someone bleeped his girl over 4 times, not even on a bed, it was in a car. It shows how loose you can be.
And thank God ,your man is a good man, someone like me will zero my mind on you and just be using 4 the sex benefits.

In short, move on and don't do the same mistake with d next guy

I recognise and respect the fact that people react in different ways to the same circumstances. I know some men that their wives cheat openly and to their face and they still accept their wives, while with people like me once is more than enough (except in extraordinary circumstances). I don't cheat and I don't tolerate cheating.
Different Men has different tolerances to cheating.

Even during my playing days, I define myself relationships. If it's exclusive, I don't cheat during the relationship.

The fact that you are always away is not enough grounds for cheating. Circumstances change during relationships and marriage. I had been away from home for 6 months and I would not have tolerated my wife cheating based on my long absence. I know couples whose husband is abroad ( USA, UK and Dubai ) and they come home once in 2 or 3 years. That's does not give the wives the excuse to cheat.

Apart from the obvious misogynistic and egocentric issues, cheating by women have other negatives. The most obvious and damaging being the paternity of the children. A man doubting the paternity of a child can have serious consequences on the child and family, even if it was eventually confirmed by a DNA test. It is also psychologically damaging for a man to learn later that a child he invested so much financially and emotionally is not his blood.
