Perhaps you have cheated on your boyfriend and this has resulted in your break up. Now, you are asking, "How do I get my boyfriend back after I cheated on him?"

Well, fret not. This is not necessary the end of your relationship with your boyfriend. There have been many cases of people getting back together even after cheating. Therefore, if you still love your boyfriend and really want to get back together with him, don't lose hope.

Here are 3 things you can do for the time being.

1) Give Him Time and Space

Cheating is not a small thing. Therefore, he will need more time and space to cool down. You cannot realistically expect him to forgive you within days.

Generally, the bigger the offence, the more time and space he will need. Therefore, it is best that you do not contact him for at least one month. Wait for him to cool down before you contact him again.

2) Figure Out What Went Wrong

If you do get back together with your boyfriend, you do not want to lose him again by making the same mistake. Therefore, it is always a good idea to try and figure out what went wrong.

What causes you to cheat? Is it because he has been neglecting you and somehow another guy came along and you just can't help yourself?

Understanding all these will help you avoid the same mistake.

3) Validating His Feelings

You do need to apologize. However, when it comes to apology, there is a right way and a wrong way to do it.

Apology, when done the right way can enhance your relationship. When done wrongly, it can cause your situation to become worse than ever.

In general, you want to validate his feelings. Acknowledge that you have hurt his feelings. And most importantly, don't try to defend yourself when apologizing.

For example, don't say, "I am sorry BUT..."

"BUT" is a word you should avoid in apology as it seems as though you are defending yourself, which makes your apology insincere.
