If you have cheated the first thing you need to come to terms with is yourself. Getting others to agree with you that you've changed isn't really the point. The point is that you know that you've changed. Convincing others is totally meaningless. If you really want people to believe that you've changed and that is important to you, then I think you should ask yourself "why?" The importance of that task is something that is beyond me.

If we go back to the original point of the thread, it was being tired of hearing the saying, "Once a cheater, always a cheater." I feel that it's important to let people know that people do change because it's apparently hard for some people to see that people's attitudes can and do change. Thoughts and emotions change how a person acts. The feelings and emotions that are felt from both the 'cheater' and the person they cheated on weigh on the person and, depending on that person's motivations afterwards, guide how they act from then on. With this saying, it can hold someone back from trying to try to mend themselves because they think that they will be stuck in that cycle.
