Whether or not the relationship survives, what’s next for you?
Figure out why you did it. Is there something missing within yourself or was something missing in the relationship? How did you wind up in a position to cheat? Could you have broken up with your partner when you realized you were unhappy, or could you have stopped exchanging messages with someone before it became inappropriate? What can you do differently next time?
It is important to figure out what is at the root of your behavior so you can keep it from happening again.
