What happens when one partner learns that their partner has cheated. How can you save your sanity and get the love you deserve?

I think you should do some soul searching. And find out if that is still the person you want to be with, if you truly think it was a one time thing & find the courage to trust that person again, than you need to find a way to deal with it such as, see a therapist, or just find inner peace with in yourself to deal with it. If you do choose to stay with that person, then you musn't bring up the affair in arguments or what not. If you choose not to stay with that person then you need to try to find it in yourself to trust again, it might take time, but anything worth having is worth working for.

If you are the person,you will need to be honest with yourself as to whether or not you really want to stay in the relationship. You will save yourself and your partner a whole lot of heartache.
If the person is really sorry and both of you are willing to move on then you can proceed in that direction, otherwise it may be best to terminate the relationship. If the victim feels that they cannot forgive or stand up to the humiliation then it would be best to move on since this will alos affect the relationship.It will be very hard to rebuild trust as well and it will not be an overnight process. Should both parties decide to continue in the relationship they should be aware of this.
I hopet his helps since I really don't know from what point of view you wanted this issue to be handle.

The better way to get rid of it is to be loyal about your partner, try to fullfill all the requirements of the partner he /she expect if u can do that why your partener will go to others.So the important thing is to understand each other.And there is no way to get the love deserved (by cheating)so be loyal.
