Always. If he takes the confession negatively, it will be better to have it out in the open, and try to work through it. If you cheated, you should take full responsibility and not make any excuses. If he takes it positively, then there's no harm done at all!

Honesty is always the best. Try to bring it on slowly don't just rush into it. He may be mad at first but try to talk it out.

Cheating is a form of dishonesty and you're husband will probably be very hurt when he finds out, but it's definitely better for him to hear it from you than to find out some other way. If you want to hurt him as little as possible I would suggest telling him yourself, soon.

I personally think that you should, honey. Good relationships are based on confidence and comunication.

Yes, because being truthful is more important in a marriage I believed. It's better to tell someone something bad that happened recently than to wait because the more we waited, the more guilty and other bad feelings will reside in our hearts and second, the impact will seem to be more stronger as we waited. We just have to own up to our consequences for our actions and not compromise any of our integrity at the same time.

Yes absolutely. Be honest with him no matter the outcome. Tell him why you have done it and try to work it out. If he doesn't try to work things out then maybe you should start looking for something else.

Relationships are all about honesty. If you cheated on him, it's better you tell him rather than him finding out himself. If you really feel remorse for what you did, you'll tell him you won't do it again. If he trusts you, he will forgive you. If not... I'm not sure if it will last at this point. Sorry to be abrupt, but you need to stay faithful next time.

Absolutely. Though this make require you to take some time to self-reflect on why you did it, or to overcome problematic feelings first so that you can approach him calmly.. Please remember that monogamous relationships involve the consent of both adults. When you are sleeping with another person, then in most monogamous relationships, the consent of your spouse has been voided. That is, they are no longer consenting to your relationship because you have violated their conditions of consent. What that means is that they are ethically entitled to know when you are doing something that crosses their set boundaries in the relationship. Although it is your body and you are free to sleep with whomever you please, you have obligations within your relationship as well, and may need to terminate or renegotiate said relationship before continuing with your actions. Sleeping with other people, even with 'protection', may potentially put your partner's health at risk, and is another reason they have the basic entitlement of knowing whether you are sleeping with other partners. Please discuss this with your husband soon.

Honesty should be the key thing to a relationship. If he's mad/angry at you, accept it. You made the decision to cheat on him. But maybe your husband will be more accepting if you tell him yourself rather than having to hear it from someone else :)

Yes, you definetly should. You probably feel very bad about it and it's better to just be honest about it.
