Tell him you made a mistake. Cheating on someone isn't very nice, but if your boyfriend can genuinely see you made a mistake, he might just forgive you and you can let this situation pass by.

First step is to explain why it happened in the first place, and how you felt when it happened and how you feel now. If you want things to work, you need to reassure him that this won't happen again.

I believe you should tell him the truth. Yes, he may get upset, but it is better telling him then him finding out later on.

You cheated on your boyfriend. You can't fix it. You have to allow him space and time to make his decision up about you.

You should tell him the truth that you cheated, if he loves you back maybe he will give you a second chance.

There's no easy fix for that. The best thing you can do is try to tell him and attempt to fix it. But fixing it is up to the boyfriend. You will need to respect what he wants and try to give it time.

First, tell him about it. Be honest, don't try to hide it. Just know it's going to be really hard. Accept that he going to need some time on his own to figure things out. Accept the consequences. Accept that the relationship might be over. If he does take you back, just know that second chances are hard to come by. Don't abuse that.

If your boyfriend is aware of what has happened, you may find yourself needing to earn his trust back. It's not a simple task, but it is a do-able one if you set your heart and mind to it. How this is done is, in the end, up to you, and there is the possibility he may not accept it. But for both of you to move on, I feel it's important that an apology be exchanged, and you work with one another to get back to the relationship you once had, and a better one further down the road. If you show you're willing to put effort towards rekindling the relationship, I'm sure at the very least he'd appreciate it and you could definitely maintain a healthy friendship out of it. Try brainstorming potential solutions, and figuring out potential pros and cons of each solution you come up with.

hey we all make mistakes that we regret later, and of course we can't change the past. However there's still a chance to do the right thing here, which is you should tell your boyfriend the truth about what happened and explain to him why did you do that, and ask him for forgiveness, because it's better that he learns the truth from you and because it's the right thing to do, and that shall make you feel less guilty :D

You may not be able to fix it. But you should tell him the truth, he deserves to know, right? Maybe he will forgive you, if you at least tell him, instead of him finding out for himself.
