I cheated on my girlfriend, I'm seeing a counselor to get some help.
You have to love your self before you can love somebody else. I've been feeling so empty inside for such a long time that I didn't see clearly. What I think I was seeing was just an image. My girlfriend has not forgiven me and I don't expect her to anytime soon, but, we have been talking and were going to get some help. She told me about a book called "In the mean time". She read a paragraph to me last night over the phone and it really hit home. I'm seeing the counselor for many reasons, but most of is to get that empty feeling out of and start living a new life.
Well, I do believe things can be worked out if you think your partner is and relationship are worthy of it. I don't believe in the "once a cheater always a cheater" I'm 37 and have never cheated.
Good Luck.
