My Girlfriend Cheated

Fireflyaway

I'd leave it be. She cheated, admitted it ( she could have kept it secret if she wanted to carry in the relationship) and left of her own accord. To me that's 3 reasons not to get back. Its easy to say ' you deserve better' etc and to appear angry but if she cared about you that much she wouldn't have done it to being with. Be glad you were not married / have kids.
Sometimes it easier to try and save something than make a fresh start but long term why waste time with someone you can't trust and who doesn't respect you?

If she wanted to continue the relationship she would have already accepted your forgiveness.

That, definitely that. You need to accept she doesn't want to be with you any longer. Painful, but inevitable.

People don't cheat on a partner that they do not want to risk losing

She's not as in to you, as you are to her, you deserve someone equally invested

Sorry mate but you need to let this one go

Ditch her,stop texting and deal with it. Move on.

You need to learn when a thing is over. It is not about what YOU want and you are not entitled to have anyone back.

This is over. Let it go.

my girlfriend has cheated on me - she slept with a coworker. When she told me she packed her bags and left, refused to discuss the situation with me

I have a strong feeling that she did nothing of the sort, just told you that she had as a way out of a situation that she couldn't quite handle. Have you any evidence of the cheating, other than what she said to you?

I have to say, as gently as I can, that your willingness to forgive while having almost no information nor serious discussion about the matter and therefore (presumably) no deep understanding of what has gone wrong in the relationship would make me feel that you are a needy partner...and that can become a smothering situation. Something for you to consider, perhaps?

I'm sorry for your trouble and wish you happier times ahead.
