Is it normal that i feel like complete crap b/c i cheated?

Me & my bf have only been dating for about 4 months & in the beginning of our relationship I started talking to my ex (as friends) but when my relationship started going bad, I started to flirt with my ex (& talk sexually to him). I eventually planned to see him (after me & my bf broke up). Keep in mind, this is a while back. I came clean to my bf last night & although he forgave me & we're gonna move forward, I still feel like complete sh!t. When I did this I didn't feel as strong as I do for my bf today. I was stupid & made a horrible mistake. What do I do next? I know we dropped it but I feel like a mess. I can never forgive myself. I feel like a fraud.

    You should feel bad. That is your conscience. When a person acts in a way that violates his/her sense of right and wrong, the person experiences guilt.

    However, it seems that guilt didn't set in for you until late in the series of events. Maybe you need to reexamine your moral code and see if you are happy with it.

    It wouldn't be normal if you didn't feel like shit.

    did you actually have sex/ kiss/ i dunno feel him up? if not, then it's still kind of a bitch thing to do to flirt with your ex, in a relationship or not. i feel that if you can't be monogomous (is that how you spell that?) then you may not be able to love properly. figure out how to love, and you won't cheat.
