We decided to give it another go, though I made it crystal clear that if he cheats again there is no going back!!

Yes I think you should forgive him this time. Better now than if you were married to the guy. I think you should pull back some and make him work to get back in your good graces. That way, he will know that the behavior is unacceptable to you but you love him enough to give him another chance.

They don't always cheat again. But let's face it, there's a higher chance that he will. And even if he didn't cheat again, this will have done enough damage to prevent you from being 100% committed to each other. You'll never really be able to totally trust him, and like anyone else that's been cheated on like this, you'll be very wary of what he's up to in his life.
However, you have a daughter together, you've been together for 7 years and he claims it's a one night stand and will never happen again. There might just be enough to fight for here.
I would suggest that you both see a counsellor and really try to work out why this happened, and whether it can be fixed. If it can, make it clear that you will never again accept cheating. If not, then at least you know you tried.
