My boyfriend of eight years cheated on me three years ago. We are working things out, but it's kind of rough because I can't find myself to trust him and I am terrified of being cheated again. I am contemplating of seriously leaving him, but people around me, especially our friends are telling me to give our relationship a second chance, and I'd be a hypocrite, if i'd say that I don't have feelings for him, but the fear of being cheated again is just overwhelming. I just want to know if what are the signs that a person is really sorry after he cheated from his partner. In my case, my partner suggested counseling, he constantly tells me his whereabouts, he rarely goes out after office, he gave me his email and facebook account password. His gestures can give certain security, but I don't know if this can go on forever.
What are the real signs or gesture that a person is sincerely sorry from cheating?
