Think First: Is Cheating Really Worth It?

Because many of my blogs have focused on relationships, a large number of my more responsive readers are female.  However, I was pleasantly surprised to read a note left on a different blog in which a male reader sought my opinion on an age old topic. 
 
The idea of infidelity taunts anyone who is given reason to insecure in their relationships.  In short, the best way to avoid uncomfortable situations is to always think of your partner first...

“I am hurt and don't know what direction to take! To make a long story short, I made a horrible mistake and, in return, I lost someone who was very dear to me! I just want an opinion from someone on how to start the forgiving process within myself.  This is something I don't think I could ever forgive myself for.  I really messed up and I don't know how to forgive myself for what I've done! 
Long story short...  I violated someone I loved by having someone else in their bed.  We didn't have sex, but the way it looked, we may as well have done it! Do I need to count this as a total loss or is there any way to salvage this relationship? I'm not a bad guy, I just made a major mistake and I'm hurt for hurting our possibilities....   What should I do?”
 
Please feel free to respond with your opinions as well… After all, the following is just ONE Man's Opinion....
