Yes. If you cheated on him you probably aren't happy with your relationship with him. Make sure he's calm and just nicely tell him.

You should to create a more honest enviroment. Even though you cheated, by telling him, you are showing a certain level of honesty and trust. The only reason that I would tell you not to tell him would be if you fear for your physical well being.

Yes, a relationship is built in trust and by cheating on him you've broken that trust. But the best thing about trust is it can be rebuilt

More importantly you need to look at why you cheated on him and where your relationship is at the moment. Telling him probably won't strengthen the relationship so I think it depends on how you're feeling about the relationship at the moment and where you see its future.

There isn't just one answer to this, although the simplest one is that it's a good idea you should. Morally, it is the right thing to do and it would help foster a healthier relationship (if he can overcome the lack of faith and you can rebuild trust). If you are plagued with guilt and have learned your lesson, maybe don't tell him if you can promise yourself it will never happen again.

If you want to. It really doesn't matter at this point though. You've crossed a line you don't cross.

I think honesty is always the best thing to do, it'll free you. It may lead to heartbreak, but sometimes our hearts need to break, so that they could be open to healing, and capable of more love.

Maybe when we do a mistake or something that society in general would consider morally wrong it is easier to flip the tables and ask yourself another question instead, If your husband cheated on you, would you feel like you deserve to know? If your husband cheated on you, would it change your opinion of him? It's not easy to be held to high standards, it's not always fun to take responsibility for our mistakes, but I would say someone you spend your life with deserves to know these things, and if you're lucky he will be willing to try and work it out. In the end it is your relationship and your decision, so ask yourself how you would feel if the tables were turned and act in the best interest of your husband instead of yourself, because in this case the mistake was yours and not his.

Only if you believe it will bring you closer together, or if your moral code necessitates confessing.
