"cheated" on a fwb that is my boyfriend now

My ex and I became fwb for a while. Many years had passed since we dated so I thought It would be no big deal. A few months later he asks us to be exclusive fwb (so no s** with other people). I agreed as casual s** with multiple people isn't my thing (or quite safe). He was going through a lot of heavy emotional problems (as was I) and I became sort of overwhelmed by it all as I was the main support system. I distanced myself for a bit and ended up having s** with someone else. I regretted it as I had broken our agreement and I denied any sexual encounters. At a time when he needed me the most, I wasn't there for him. Its been a year since we first started hooking up and 8 months since this all happened. We have eased into a comfortable partnership, but the guilt of "cheating" from our first agreement still fills me with guilt.
