Firstly accept that a mistake has been made and forgive yourself. Only then will you be able to communicate honestly with your boyfriend about what it happened in the first place. To take further steps towards rebuilding your relationship have a open discussion over where you both stand.

If you really love your boyfriend, you have to gain back his trust and show him how you truly care about him.

Cheating is never good. If you truly love someone you wouldn't do that. The bravest thing to do is to tell him yourself instead of him finding out from others because then it shows your honesty.

I would advise you to find a best suitable time to talk to boyfriend. Honesty and trust is very important in any given relationship. Once you know your boyfriend strengths and weaknesses you can choose a right time to communicate with him about it. Be completely honest about what happened and ensure to indicate what you have done to move forward. Your partner may be angry and upset which is normal. If this occur give him some space to vent his feelings. It will not be easy but will take a lot of commitment and work to hold the relationship together. Lastly your partner may ask you questions like: when did this happen? Why you did it? Who is the person? Where it happened? How was the sex? How did you feel? Was it the first time? Did you use protection like a condom? What does this person have or do that he doesn't have or do? Be prepared to answer or expect these questions. I would suggest counseling afterwards depending on what happens when you tell him. All the best. Ensure to express your love for him and that you apologize genuinely. It is best to end the connection with the person you cheated with.

Well, all relationships are built on honesty and trust. You have sadly already broken the trust part but you can make it better by fixing it with the honesty part. You may lose him if you tell him but if you tell him now, it's better then if you tell him later or if he finds out somewhere else.

This is a decision that only you can make but it seems that these thoughts are playing on your mind and if you feel that your relationship with your boyfriend is worth keeping and you would like to continue to be with him its important that you speak to him at anytime you feel comfortable and ready and try and share with him what is on your mind. You must also put yourself into your boyfriends shoes and anticipate that the conversation might not be how you expected, its not easy to share with a loved one that you have been unfaithful but time is a healer and perhaps your boyfriend will or will not be willing to accept what you have to say to him. You should take your time to decide whether or not you are ready and be prepared. It might also be worth sharing some of your feelings and thoughts with a friend or family member that you can trust and confide in if you have someone. It might help you make sense of what you need to do. Follow your heart and be strong. You know what is right for you and you are making positive steps forward by realizing that you love your boyfriend and that you want to fix mistakes that you have made. We all make mistakes so don't be too hard on yourself no-one is perfect. Best of luck to you.

Leave it behind, it's past and you already repented. You made a mistake, accept that and never do it again. There's no reason to tell him, you would just upset him.

Always remember that honesty is so important in any relationship- Everyone make mistakes. What you need to do is to be honest and tell him about what you did , and give him all of your reasons. He has the right to know- and you need to sit with yourself and think truly of how would you feel if you were in his place. I hope it works out for you.

Tell him. Ask for forgiveness. But think about it. Why did you cheat in the first place? There's probably something wrong in your relationship - talk about it. There's no better solution to a problem than a decent and comfortable talk.
