Apology Letter for Cheating

There’s so many times I’ve let you down
So many times I’ve played around
I tell you now, they don’t mean a thing
Every place I go, Ill think of you
Every song I sing, Ill sing for you

Honesty is the cornerstone of every relationship. Dealing with a cheating spouse is perhaps one of the most traumatic experiences in life. Imagine the one person who is the cynosure of your attention, your object of affection betrays you and cheats on you - the feeling is unimaginable.
