How to deal with adultery

It is a private issue:

People outside your relationship and family may gossip or ask about the affair. Remember, it's not their business. It is something that concerns you and your mate. Don't care about what others say.

If you were unfaithful:

You made a bad decision, so accept the responsibility. Understand that your mate needs time, so give that to him or her. Don't try to justify your past behavior,; no excuse can change the past. If you still have contact with the 'other person', sever the relationship. You will never solve the problem, otherwise.

If your mate cheated:

First of all, do you think that you can forgive your mate? If the answer is no, then you may need to examine whether the relationship can work again. Never invest more into a relationship than you can afford to lose. If you can't afford to be rejected or put down again, then you need to tell your mate. Be honest with your partner and explain your needs.

3-Step Method for Coming into Agreement

Step 1: Stating What You Need to Come into Agreement About

The first thing you need to do to come into agreement is to make a definitive statement about what you need to come into agreement about. This could be anything that you are struggling with or need some reassurance about in your relationship. It could be a relatively trivial matter or one that is truly troubling your relationship. Whatever it is, it needs to be specific so that you can look at specific actions you might take to change it.

Step 2: Figuring out Solutions to the Problem

The next step in the process is to figure out a solution to the problem you are facing or a statement of reassurance about the issue you are discussing. Again, this is as varied as individuals are, and you might come up with a million different solutions for a million different problems.

Step 3: Putting Your Plan into Effect

The final step in this process is to do what you say you are going to do. Once you come up with a solution (or a series of solutions) that you both agree is workable, it is time to put that plan of action into effect and see if it works.
