Headshot... a blood mess that dealt a blow so powerful, you are almost crippled emotionally. Your gf's conscience gave in and finally admitted to you about her misdeed and now you sank into a world of confusion - thinking if you SHOULD forgive her because of her frank honesty, or leave her because there are simply no room for forgiveness.
To break down into atoms and molecules about your situation and what you should do now, is the ultimate business law:
High risk, high gain. Low risk, low gain. You can opt to pack up now, salvaging what that was intact emotionally and leave the chaotic scene, OR you choose to stay and invest more to repair this badly damage relationship.
Which should you opt for?

I) Do you really understand why this is happening? Have you even question yourself what went wrong with THE relationship, instead of pin-pointing at the result of the misdeed? During the length of relationship... how did it went? If it was never 'decently ride-able', you may consider saying goodbye, for often, suitability is a sticky major problem. (What you are seeking and what she is seeking is a different thing altogether)
II) Her personality? How much do you understand about the REAL her? Not talking about the imagery picture painted by WHAT love wants you to picture. There are people who are so madly in love with their partner in which all that was negative, are forcefully push back into their subconscious. Her noted past? How she fare in her previous relationship? (Not asking you to dig history now, but according to those that you already knew). If she already have reoccuring thingy of promiscuity and stuff; you do your own consideration.
III) If you plan to give her another chance for Love and her plain honesty, do you seriously think that if similar thingy happened again, do you think you would succumb to the fear of losing the relationship and give in another? Are you sure she is truely repentant and willing to work with you to build back what was lost? If either one of the points above is unable to fulfill for any reason; you do your own consideration. (Remember,
Two wrong doesn't make one right)
