ninevirtuesCarolyn Hax, talking to someone who got involved with a married guy and now deeply regrets it (years after the fact):
Your impulse to apologize is an impulse to be good. So, find some other, private ways to be good, to balance out the losses you caused and then some. It doesn't erase your mistake, of course; all it does is change the proportions of what you leave in your wake. A preponderance of good reduces mistakes to exceptions.
