I don't have any sympathy for cheaters. You feel bad about it? Like you deserve an award for that?
You SHOULD feel bad, you did something wrong. It's just too bad that your humanity kicked in an orgasm too late.
--The following is based on the assumption that "relationship" refers to a real connection, not some fling that's been going on for 3 months--
No matter how bad your relationship was, you really upped the ante by actually going out and nailing somebody else (in 99% of the cases). I suppose that, if I could be objective about this, I would say that, if your partner and you can get over it, great, but asking for "understanding" is just beyond the pale. As well ask us to sympathize with the murderer as much as the murdered.
As far as retiring the phrase "once a cheater, always a cheater," I propose the opposite- I think the phrase should be embossed on the front of every public building, as well as any place where one can get married. Unless you're old, or have a child, or something out of this world with the other person, there's no reason to stick with someone who cheats on you. Life's too short to stay with someone who has pretty well betrayed your love in the lowest way possible. It doesn't matter how bad you feel, it's unreasonable to ask or expect that you can be trusted again.
