Depends on context.

Generally speaking, if the mistake was one that has permanently altered the dynamics of the relationship, probably not.

Example:

You cheat on your girl. To get her back means taking a permanent seat as second class citizen. She'll always be paranoid, will never forgive you and continue to throw the mistake in your face at every available turn. She now owns the upper hand in the relationship - you no longer have a relationship among equals. I'd let that go, no point in chasing something you are never going to get back.

If you cheat on your woman, you deny it til you die or you find another GF.

Having a paranoid gf that will bitch and moan every time you're late or she doesn't know where you are isn't worth it.

That's assuming you get caught. I've done plenty of mistakes that have gone unnoticed, and what she don't know won't hurt her.

I've also never found my "true love" mostly because I don't believe in that, so any mistakes I make with any girls is just another story to tell about an ex someday

I look at it in a different light. Why did I cheat I on her in the first place?
If I had a simple lapse in judgement, a moment of drunken weakness, it would mean something completely different than if I met another woman who moved me enough that I wanted her more than my lover.

That is actually the truth about relationships. People are not meant to be monogamous, no matter how you argue it it's a fact so people will always find a way to get some action on the side even if ass backwards society says it is evil..

I've never strayed. I find it extraordinarily easy not to. I see zero truth in your statement and see it as a weak comment on human propensity for fidelity, honor, and integrity.

Further, I find it a cowardly excuse to say "we're not meant to." Who intended humans to be a certain way? If you really wanted something, you damn well know you wouldn't take "you weren't meant to have it" as justification. The simple fact is that you don't want to keep it in your pants and rather than manning up to that fact, you'd rather drag the rest of us down with you. Childish.
