Brokenness. Remorse, sorrow. Tears. Willingness to do anything, including a polygraph. And yes, a polygraph is often necessary to break them open. It is terrifying to be honest and vulnerable when you have never told the truth, often in many cheater's lives, ever. Offering the information before being asked, is a great sign. An eagerness to confess and make sure that you know everything. Offers of amends. Willingness to go to counseling, group support. I have a feeling of closeness and an easing of tension in my mind and body (especially the chest) when I can feel that the truth is being told.
Again, polygraphs can jump start the ability to be truthful, and if you have a feeling of lack of truth for a long period of time (talk to your counselor about this), you don't have the whole truth, so ask for one. Why not? Polygraphs are usually the first thing a man who discovers or suspects infidelity will ask for. Why can't women?
