If she is unable to put the necessary effort into communication now, will she be equipped to express all that she must when the relationship moves to another level? Distance relationships are nothing but communication. There is no touch or physicality, only a meeting of the minds which is able to form a lasting base for a strong future.
Affairs only arise when deeper issues are present. Her cheating is not the puzzle piece that requires attention at present. You must deal with those hidden underlying problems before you can work through the infidelity.
If you want to continue with this woman, you can. It's possible. It could even work out wonderfully, better than your dreams. But it will not be the easier path. You've just been offered a front-row seat on what can go wrong in a relationship. From personal experience, I'll let you know that cheaters deserve a second chance at love. But that chance doesn't need to be at your expense. Let her walk away with her mistakes and make the changes she needs in her life. Her healing will be more complete with fewer interactions from the man she hurt. Now you need to decide for yourself what will be your next move.
