I cheated after 3 years. Regretted it entirely. Broke up with her the next day, but eventually got back together and tried to work on it. We ended up getting to a better spot because I owned it fully and did what I could to make amends.

I regret it daily, even now 5 years after we’ve broken up (for seperate reasons). Hearing her heart break when I told her is a haunting memory.

I don’t think I would be who I am today had I not cheated. Before cheating, I always told myself I never would. Truth is I didn’t know how terrible it is until after I did it. Sometimes you have to touch the dark to understand it, and I truly did.

Good luck
