He can get you a promise ring but doesn't generally stop him from cheating on you again.
My boyfriend made a promise to me in early 2013 to work on our relationship after it collapsed 3 months earlier (nothing to do with cheating, just someone wanted to break us apart and succeeded). He didn't get me a promise ring but he has still kept to his promise.
I have been cheated on multiple times in the past and because I forgave him for it he carried on doing it even though he told me he wouldn't. It's because he knew I wouldn't leave him no matter how unfaithful I was and everytime I heard he cheated it kills me a little more inside.
From that experience, I would dump him there and then to save myself anymore hurt.

He just bought it to make himself feel better because knows he did wrong. He will do it again some day.
You deserve better
Yes, a man can cheat, learn from his mistake and not do it again... is that the case here? I don't know.
How long were you together? 3-5 years? And he cheated?
Imagine staying with him from now for another 5-10 years? You think you won't have a single doubt he has learned his lesson? The trust is broken i wouldn't stay with him. It's not often someone learns there lesson.
Maybe after 10 - 20 years married etc and one drunken mistake I could possible forgive, maybe.
Sounds like a desperate move not to lose you, and that he might cheat again. Some men do that. When nothing else works after they're busted, they use the proposing card.

he's buying you... a cheater and liar won't change... he will do it again and again... is that all your worth? a ring? if thats the case then enjoy your life...
he's overcompensating. Also it's part of his nature to cheat. I bet he loves you but he can't help it.
i can´t tell, because i don´t know him. of course a guy could do it... also i think everybody deserves a second chance, never a third one though. this is my policy on cheating.
