You're beating a dead horse. You can't redeem yourself, you ***** up move on.

there is an ole saying that "you eat an apple, one bite at a time" I would direct my sorrow toward the mother and let her decide on when and how the children should become involved...

I really don't think there's anything you can say. Only time will prove to them whether you've truly mended your ways. Whether she, or they, are willing to give you that time is at their discretion.

You have possibly infected your wife with HPV. And now, possibly infected another woman. I suggest you keep your pants zipped. Seriously.

Start it with realizing that probably this letter won't solve anything but you want to say a few things and keep going with realizing that you didn't know how to appreciate wat you had that you didn't realize what a wonderful person you were with and just apologize for being so ______ and doing that to her. Tell them that you are truly sorry for all that and that you hope they will understand and if they don't that its ok because it's not something so easy to get over with..... And as for you accept the fact that most likely your situation might not change and accept your faults.

You musta been ill that day when some one was going to tell you to never do anything you might regret. It always comes back to haunt you. Tell her you're sorry and move on.

It's a matter of trust .. You can admit your wrong doing, you can admit how bad you feel, you can learn from your mistake and even re-pledge that you would NEVER do that again, you can apologize .. but you will still have to start from scratch to convince them that you can be trusted. Trust is a VERY precious commodity. Once it's damaged .. it takes time and an enormous amount of effort to restore it.

It is not impossible .. it can be done. When it comes to matters of family .. Don't let anyone tell you it's not worth the try.

You can apologize until you're blue in the face, but you cheated on HER, not her family. You owe her family nothing, sure you could apologize to them also but it isn't necessary. From reading your other posts I can see why you'd want to try and fix things.
