Welcome back. You never want to tell a woman you're trying to sleep with that any woman ever has cheated on you, this is the opposite of "preselection", a great tool when used correctly but terrible when not. Talking about being cheated on is one of the biggest demonstrations of lower value you can give a woman, second only to following up with, "She said she was sick of waiting for me to quit D&D, move out of my parents and get a job so she left me for the pool boy".
My last ended because I cheated. When it's come up I've used several responses. Depending on the vibe my first was usually a coy "I guess we just grew apart as people" (Credit:"A Life Less Ordinary"), and a smirk. If they pressed it was "It's tough maintaining a relationship when you're working on the road all the time." Maybe embellish "It was a really busy year and I thought I was doing the best for our future but the time apart got to be more than either of us could deal with".
If you don't work on the road just make some shit up "Ever since (the kid/she lost her job/the last couple years) she was having depression issues and was pretty bitter. She tried therapy and medications but it didn't help. I stuck it out as long as I could but just had to get out of that situation".
