How do you forgive a cheater?
Forgive yourself for everything you’re doing to feel okay. Forgive yourself for not knowing and for not asking the questions that were pressing against you when something didn’t feel right. And let go of any shame – for leaving, for staying, for any of the feelings you felt before the affair or during it or afterwards.
What to say to a guy who cheated?
Tell him how you feel and that you think it’s time for you to end the relationship and focus on your future. Say, “After you cheated, my feelings for you changed. I’m really hurt and angry over what happened, and I can’t be in this relationship anymore. I’m ending this so I can focus on my happiness.”
How do you make him feel sorry for hurting you?
Don’t force an apology. Instead, just explain to the guy that what he did hurt you. Most guys do not like to see those that they care for hurt. He may apologize in his own way. You can’t force someone to make an apology, especially if they aren’t making an effort with you.
