Call me pyscho, but I'd keep him as a friend. Wouldn't trust him with anything important, but I'd keep him as a friend.
There's a lot of reasons, but the simplest to explain is that if (hypothetically) I cheated with my roommate's girlfriend and he just moved out and hated me, I'd simply feel like.. "fine, fuck you too!"
However, if my "best friend" remained friends with me, even to the point of being better friends after the cheating, I would be so wracked with guilt--- how could I do something so horrible to someone, yet they'll still be friends with me? It might even be enough to convince me that I shouldn't do it to someone else in the future. I'd never cheat, so it's entirely hypothetical -- but I generally find forgiveness a better teaching tool.
Pie in the sky, I know.
But its exactly what I'd do. In my own system of morality it feels more moral (and mature) to forgive and accept even more those who hurt us. Thats not to say that any of you would be immoral or immature for doing so, but I have a hard time turning my back on anyone, regardless of what they've done.
