I'm posting way late on this but I thought I would add my two cents in. I was cheated on by several men, this gave me trust issues and it took me a couple years to trust my husband completely because of this.
Now I don't think once a cheater always a cheater, but I do believe if you cheat on a person, you are more likely to repeat it again while you are with that person. However you could move on to the next relationship and never stray.
Everyone has definations of cheating, luckily my husband and I both have the same moral standards and agree what is appropriate behaviour and what is not.
And lastly if you are having so many problems that you feel the need to cheat, see a counseller, get a divorce, but make sure you have tried everything you can before you stray, because you guys are still hurting, and even though you may have been forgiven by your partners or not, you have to live with it and so do they.
It is easy to forgive, but almost impossible to forget.
