Can you still be forgiven by your wife after cheating on her? There's no easy way out from this. Cheating is like a disease that once it affects a relationship, the doom or the end of it will come easy if not treated right away. Cheating is a no-ordinary sin, so the amendments you need to do in order to get your wife's trust must also be equally heavy.

Here are a few things not to do when you're trying to get your wife to take you back after you've been caught cheating on her.

Don't tell her it meant nothing. Whether it did or not is immaterial. To your wife it means everything. Men and women often see sex in a different light. For women sex is a symbol of love and devotion. For some men it is a symbol of attraction and (perhaps) affection. To say that it meant nothing to your wife will really rub your wife the wrong way and not put her in the right frame of mind to forgive you.

Prepare to spend a little time in the doghouse. Even if she doesn't kick you out of the house without a single question asked you should plan to be spending quite a few nights on the couch or in a spare bedroom. This is not something that will just go away. It also isn't anything she's going to forgive easily or willingly. You're going to have to pay a little penance before all is forgiven. This is just the start.

Talk things over before it comes to its worse. Don't just let the issue die down by itself; it won't. It will always be there shaking off your marriage until such time that the both of you will just give up. Try to talk it out with your wife; tell her of the things she needs to know and leave out the things she would never want to hear. Although she will ask you to tell her everything, it doesn't mean she's ready for your story on how the sexual affair was for you. This will just kill her.

Ask her how she feels and listen to the answer. No matter how painful it is for you to hear it's important for you to know. It's even more important that she knows you know. The next thing you need to ask is where she thinks you should go from here. Chances are that she's not ready to call it quits just yet. She might be thinking about it as a kneejerk reaction but you should have a little time to work on making things right before she decides to say goodbye. If you ask her what she's thinking and what she wants to happen next you'll be giving her some of the control she feels was taken away when you cheated.
