I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but there is really nothing you can do now. You messed up, and now he holds all the cards in your relationship. I understand that you feel terrible, but that might not be enough to fix things. He needs time to decide whether he can forgive you and move past this, and he has every right to show you the door. You should prepare yourself for the possibility that it's over.
Maybe he believes in second chances and cares about you enough to try to work through his anger and feelings of betrayal. I don't think that cheating is always a black or white issue, but many people do. Some people believe that once is enough-- you betrayed him and that is that. But everyone's relationship is different and maybe, with time, he will be able to view this as a one-time indiscretion and be able to move forward with you. He may never completely forgive you, and it's probably going to take some time for him to trust you again, but some relationships do bounce back from infidelity.
So now you play the waiting game. You can definitely express your remorse and try to repair the damage. But the damage is done. Use this time to examine yourself as well. Is your cheating a sign of unhappiness with the relationship? Were you feeling unloved or unsatisfied? Were you bored? Is it a sign that you're impulsive and will do things to destroy relationships? These are all things to consider while you wait to see if he actually returns your calls.

I cheated on my ex.. And its like he said, the reasons were many. I wasn't happy so I looked elsewhere. Its truly a hurtful thing to do to someone, and I paid for it (trust me, nothing good ever happens to someone who cheats) . Take some time for introspection, you obviously have issues to work on . Leave him alone, let him cauterize the wounds and move on with his life.
Yeah, you messed up, you need to accept the consequences. Having been cheated on before, the best thing you can do is leave him be and let him decide if he wants a relationship.
There's lots of people out there who don't cheat on their partners. Maybe that's what he wants.
LOL of COURSE thats what he wants. Noncheating partners are what everyone wants...
I hate to feel like I'm on the Family Feud, but I'm mentally clapping and yelling 'Good answer!'
Yeah, you pretty much screwed this one up, maybe your not ready for a commitment, or like Mr. Nadel said, you can only wait for him to call you back. But be prepared to move on.
If you cared bout him you wouldn't have cheated at all, he could never trust u again weather it was a one time thing, you gotta have trust in a relationship and u broke that, so learn from your mistake and move on , cause he's not going to want to be with a cheater, and always worrying bout what your up to, that would cause a whole set of new problems!!
Give it time. You've told him that you are sorry and want him back; the ball is in his court now. One of the worst things you can do is be psychotically trying to win him back. He needs his space at the moment, and he won't be able to fully think things over if you are constantly apologizing and trying to talk to him.
