Honestly it should be your partner's decision. He or she must have been hurt but is he or she ready to let it go?? Is he or she willing to continue this relationship..?? Can he or she have the same feeling same affection towards you..?

You should be honest and let your partner make that decision. You never know the results may be better than what you expected

Maybe you should be honest with your partner and give them that option, unless you don't want to be in the relationship anymore then you should be honest about what you did and why!

It's important to talk to them about it. Saying "I cheated, we're done" isn't really a solution. Cheating is not okay, and if you really feel guilty about it, then talk to your partner. Depending on their reaction, work out things you are going to do next. Explain why you did it. Is it because you don't feel like your relationship is worth it anymore, is it getting boring? Do you not love your partner anymore? Things like that. While their trust will most likely be gone or less, cheating does not necessarily mean that the relationship is over. Over time, people forgive, depending on how you handle it. I don't think breaking up instantly is a good idea. Admit to it first and figure out what you and your partner really want.

if you still want things to work out with you both i would admit what you have done and see where to go from there.

That's a discussion you need to have with your partner, and a question you should ask yourself. Communication is key in a relationship, and if you're not willing to be honest, then you two will never be able to work past this pitfall. You should also examine your reasons for cheating in the first place. If unhappiness with the state of your relationship led to this course of action, and you don't foresee future change, you may decide to end the relationship for the sake of your own happiness. Your state of mind is what is important here, and while you may feel as though you should be punished for cheating, engaging in healthy thought and conversation is a more appropriate response.

No - you should confess in front of your partner. In realtionships, trust and understanding are some of the most important factors so i know your partner will definitely understand you.

You should definately talk to him about it. But first, think for yourself and think about why you did it. Do you think your partner deserves to give you another chance? do you want another chance?

I'd be honest, and I'd refrain myself from doing it over again. I'd cut off everything with the other guy, and ask my bf to help me and support me.
