Slater, I am so sorry...this is something incredibly painful to deal with. I am sorry you have to experience it.

I am in agreement with Leed and Shezbut...personally, I am not sure I could move past it. However, to be fair to him, he did apologize to you, and he did seem remorseful. That does NOT make it okay, but it does at least show that he is legitimately sorry and remorseful for what he did. I cannot condone him putting you through this, but I can at least respect him that he at least cares enough to admit this to you and seek your forgiveness. If he was simply trying to "play" you, you'd never know until you found out. That was the case with mine.

Understand that if you want to work through this with him, that even if you forgive him, the feelings will still be there for some time. You need to be patient with yourself as you try to overcome, and he needs to be patient with you as well. He also needs to understand that what he did was very, very wrong, and that he will have work to bridge the inevitable rift that this has caused. That takes time and a lot of dedication on both your parts. I've been cheated on twice. I did everything in my power to try to work past it on the first one. She did not, thus, it failed. I tell you that so that you may understand that trying to work past something of this magnitude is not a guarantee of success.

Ultimately, the choice is up to you. I recommend you give yourself some time to think about this rationally, when the news isn't fresh. You need to be able to determine with both your heart and your mind that you can get past this, that you can trust him again, and that you see long term viability. If you can, then congrats. If you cannot, it may be time to break things off.

Please know I am praying for you, and I wish you all of my best.

Hugs,
Harley
