Cheating is one thing that has destroyed many relationships over the centuries. Some relationships might have been doomed from the start. Cheating was only a symptom of a deeper problem in the relationship. Others though might have been spared had cheating not become a problem that seemed too big to overcome.
When it is your relationship that is under the gun or you have been the person doing the cheating you must decide if your relationship is one of the relationships worth saving or if you would both be better served to go your separate ways.
1) Do you love the one you cheated on more than the one you cheated with? Most of the time cheating isn't about love. Chances are that you are still very much in love with the person you cheated on. This means that there is a bond or connection between the two of you. That is worth noting as you make your decision. If, for some reason, you are convinced that you love the new person in your life more it is time to end the original relationship and move on rather than drawing it out.
2) Is the relationship good more than it is bad? Some relationships are abusive. Some are rickety-rockety roller coaster rides. You might have to examine the relationship closely to tell if there are more ups or downs. Other relationships are mostly good with a few hitches along the way. The last type of relationship is definitely worth working on. The other two might be better to cut your losses now and move on to healthier relationships and greener pastures. If there is abuse in the relationship (whether you are on the giving or the receiving end) it is a good idea to move on and seek help. This will enable you to avoid landing yourself back in that situation or one just like it again.
3) Do you have feelings for the other person in the relationship that could be love? It's not easy living a lie and it is definitely not easy being torn between two potential lovers. No matter how strong your life for your current partner, the lover you have on the side might also bring out some strong emotions from you. You need to be certain that this isn't going to come back to haunt your relationship before you commit one way or the other.
If you love your ex, the one you cheated on, then there are very few good reasons, aside from abuse or a destructive relationship, to move on without giving reconciliation a try. Yes, it's definitely worth trying to work things out most of the time.
