I have cheated on my partner 3 times and each time I felt guilty, disgusted, and ashamed of my self. Today was the third and final time. I am not a religious person by any means but I feel inclined to ask for forgiveness and guidance. I want to be a better person. I have made a mission now to abstain from such devious desires and become the person my partner deserves. God, please have mercy.

I understand how you feel. I have not physically cheated on my partner, but I have thought about his father. And I feel awful for admitting but if the opportunity had ever happened I would have went for it. I’m not religious either, they are. And I honestly feel like that’s led me to wanting to ask for forgiveness. I don’t honestly know if there’s a God, but I’d like to believe that there is. And that while He does indeed make us in his image and without mistakes, he also builds us with flaws so we can find the best version of us we need to be. Sometimes that includes adding more material and working on yourself, but that’s not always a bad thing. I hope that by confessing, I can hit that first step to forgiveness too, even if it’s something that just needs to come from me rather than a higher power. And I hope you find what brings you to do better too. Because while it may feel good in the short term, the debachaury doesn’t feel good forever. I know, because I was doing it too
