How To Ask For Forgiveness

Be Honest

It is important, to be honest. By no means should you downplay the significance of the scam and say that half is true and half is not. Such an approach can only anger your partner. Explain to him that you know you were wrong and that you want to apologize.

Leave Him/Her Some Space

After you tell your partner that you cheated on him, you should leave him space and give him some peace. Plan a room for him/her to cry, to get angry, or whatever … to react in his/her way. This gives your partner time to think calmly about everything.

Understand Your Partner’s Behavior

Try to understand that your partner will not want to talk to you and accept what you have done. Sometimes it is necessary to separate briefly before taking the next step.

Do Not Hide Anything From Your Partner

Try not to hide anything from your partner. Let him “read” you like an open book. It takes time to regain that lost trust. Hiding things from a loved one can result in an absolute loss of trust.

Promise that the affair is over

Promise your partner that you have broken off any relationship with your lover. If necessary, change jobs, school, phone numbers, and everything else necessary to get away from the person with whom you cheated on your partner.

Do Not Force Your Partner Into Making A Decision Right Away

Take as long as it takes to regain lost trust. Your partner may need a lot of time to recover from your betrayal. If you rush with the decisions that your partner has to make, you will aggravate an already bad situation. Ask your partner to forgive you for cheating, but do not expect it to happen right away.
