Am I doing right?

My ex is in remorse after cheating on me with another girl. He left town and refuse to come back. I was angry with him but I found myself to forgive him. He asked for forgiveness and a second chance. He confessed everything and promised me that he would never do it again. I am in two minds: I love him and I want to take him back but I am not sure if he wouldn't do it again. He too don't expect me to take him back. I continue to support him as a friend for now because everyone including my family hates him for lying to a girl and cheating on me. Maybe I am a fool to do this but I want to help him till he get back to his feet. Although he tells me he wants me, I don't expect an happy ending with him either.

If I were you, I'd break ties with him. He is not your child or responsibility. If you want to be happy and start fresh, he needs to be left in the past.

Personally, I don't think there is a future with cheaters. Not necessarily because they will cheat, but simply because you will probably always wonder if they will or are. The trust will likely be gone or very hard to repair.
