Yes, you should tell the truth, apologize, and divorce; cheating on somebody is wrong and be honest.

Its always better for you to tell him before he finds out or else the consequences would be terrible. If you regret your actions and if he is willing to be by your side on matter what then it would be great! You get to understand your husband better from his reaction to this

Yes. He deserves to know. Infidelity is a sin. And I not talking in biblical sense. I am not even catholic. Sin in a sense of your marriage. You played with his trust.

I think it is important that you are honest. I found out I had been cheated on after a long-term relationship, and one of the women was my friend. There were multiple affairs and it was kept a secret from me for years. It really messed me up bad for a long time, I thought I was worthless and I couldn't live up to what these women had. I couldn't fathom what they had and what I didn't. The part that bothered me the most though, was that he didn't tell me. He let the situation get worse and worse, until there was no fixing US anymore. Too many scars came out of the situation, and a lot of people were hurt. It's important to be honest with your partner.

That's a very unique question. I personally think secrecy isn't good in a relationship, but you know your husband much better than I do.

Honesty is the best policy and if you feel comfortable telling him about it then go for it just be prepared for everything and anything
