How do I handle the guilt of having cheated on my spouse?

So you've cheated and now you feel bad. That's a good sign actually, that you are feeling bad, because you're recognizing what a mess this could put your marriage into. So, the first thing is to stop having the affair; stop having the affair. That's the most important thing you can do because you can sit there feeling bad all you want, but it's time to take action, because until the affair stops, you're not going to be able to go home fully to your partner, in honesty, in clarity, and in full presence. You have to stop having the affair. It may not stop you from feeling bad, because guilt is a natural reaction to when you do something that you don't feel good about, but your guilt is a beginning to starting to focus on your marriage again and heal what's there.
