forgiving a SO for cheating...
My boyfriend and I have been together for over a year and a half. We have been in different cities for about the last 15 months. I don't know how to simplify it, but for about 9 months we were 4 hours apart, then he moved for work and we were 8 hours apart for about 5 months and now we're an hour and a half apart. I just found out that while we were 8 hours apart (when we saw each other the least, obviously) he cheated on me. I thought we were the perfect couple (and we were before we were 8 hours apart).
I know that he feels like crap and is unbelievably sorry. He moved to my hometown (where I would like to live in Dec. when I finish my masters) to be with me and to make things work. The tough thing for me is that he knew that my ex cheated on me and how hard it was for me to trust him.
I believe with all my heart that we are meant to be together, but I don't know if I can forgive him. I won't be with a man I don't trust, and I was wondering if anyone can tell me how they regained their trust for someone after a similar experience. Thanks for the advice!
