Blessed are You, God, our Lord, King of the universe, who has not made me a non-Jew.
Blessed are You, God, our Lord, King of the universe, who has not made me a woman.
Blessed are You, God, our Lord, King of the universe, who has not made me a servant.

I would like to know what is a complete Jewish view on husbands who cheat on their wives with single women.
Thank you and May Hashem avenge souls of your father and brother. Amen!

The Zohar on this is terrifying. Long story short from Rabbi Mizrachi, it's karet (the soul is cut out of the Jewish people), and if he cheated with a married woman, it's the hardest sin in Torah to make teshuva for.

In a Sephardic Siddur I saw, women say "blessed are you... Hashem, King of the universe, who has made me according to his will.

What is the punishment for a man who sleeps with a married women and she told him she wasn't married? I am guessing this would be easier to make teshuva for.
I don't think it would ever be possible to make enough teshuva without immense (10-20) years of suffering because you'll never feel the amount of tears and suffering that the husband, broken children(and the impact you will have on them for the rest of their lives and then their children), broken family. +They will never forgive you unless a long period of time has passed and you go and beg for forgiveness and you still won't know if they truly forgive you in their heart.

There's fasting, tzedakah, and a bunch of other things involved, and yes, even then to make a complete teshuva is next to impossible.
If you violate shabbat on accident, the effect of what you did on the upper worlds remains the same, but Hashem isn't going to cut your soul out of your people. You, instead of incurring a death penalty, have to sacrifice a cow. With a married women, it's not so simple, because the act of leaning against a wall isn't a sin, but that section where you were caused the switch to flip, so there's carelessness involved, which may partially explain the kappara involved. If you were fornicating with a woman, it's a sin, but also extremely careless, because the woman may very well be married. I don't honestly know the ruling, but IMO, it still makes mamzerim and could tear a family apart, so you need kappara like with accidental shabbat violation and you need to make teshuva for trying to sin that was a lesser sin. I don't know how it all works though.
