You’ve been found out.
Your partner discovered that you are cheating. The good news is that your partner isn’t planning on leaving you. The bad news is that he doesn’t trust you, either.
You don’t want to lose him, but how do you begin to rebuild what has been damaged?
You have no choice but to begin with yourself. In order to regain trust, you have to ask yourself difficult questions so that you know what you were looking for. You also have to know why you cheated. Many people will cheat without really knowing why they did so.
Ask yourself the following questions to get started.

Thank you for formulating notions and feelings into words that I understand. You help me and the relationship of which I am a part.
Great article, very insightful.
This is exactly the roller coaster I go through.
I can only hope my SO reads this, and understands the concept that I can’t put it into a time-frame…
That I need to see consistent change in him, and that there will be triggers that will set me back months…
Several times, he has thought of taking “the easy way out” and thought to find someone knew who would never dream that a guy like him would betray a woman. To a new girl, he’d be the prince I thought he was a year ago… He probably faces that decision every day I have a setback in trusting him…
