6. They Make It Clear That It Was a Mistake They Never Plan to Repeat Again

If your partner really regrets cheating on you, they will do anything to prove that it was a stupid mistake—one that will never happen again because they won’t risk losing you ever again.

Your significant other will be aware that their actions may make you want to call it quits for good, and if they do love you, that thought will terrify them to death.

Proving their love for you and rekindling your relationship will become their top priorities. And who knows—perhaps your relationship becomes even stronger after overcoming these hard times. In fact, it wouldn’t be the first time that occurred; there are couples who have gone through this kind of stuff and eventually managed to build a better relationship.
