I have a terrible habit on forgetting to cross my cables at that all
important row. Because I am doing an Aran sweater with a million
complicated cables, I am afraid to rib it out and I can't stand to see
an uncrossed cable. Is there a cheater way to cross this cable without
ripping out? Or am I doomed....?

When I used to (or still do!) do this, I just rip out the cable (make a
4-stitch or whatever "runner") back to the offending row, fix it, and knit
back each row of the runner --usually with little dpns--smaller than gauge
(it'll all even out) till I'm back to the row with the rest of the
stitches. It's time consuming, and requires patience, but it beats ripping
all the way back to the uncrossed row.

Yes,
I have ran into your problem several times.
Just rip out the stitches above the missed cable instead of the whole
row. It takes some patience and learning but, it is the best way.
Hugs & God bless,

everybody gave you the same solution ,,, i tried as well ,,,, i have
also `sinned` and once in frustration and the wool was thin ,,,,,,
picked up stitches under the mistake and knitted a False part over the
place , neatly sewed it on the sides,,,,, went to have a look ,,,,, i
can`t see where i did it ,,,,, but it isn`t a neat advice ..
