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!

That sucks. You know, sometimes guys cheat for no reason. Depending on how old you two are...that would tell you a lot as to why he did it.
Often times you can never get over it. In most cases its a deal sealer. It really depends on how the both of you treated each other. However, I know some people who have forgiven the other and went on to do very well together. I would think that in the back of your mind you won't ever forget it but in time you'll eventually forgive him. Time is what mends the heart after being broken. And if you do decide to stay with him and do eventually forgive him....look at it this way, next time you'll know what to look for.
Hope it works out in your favor.
