I do not believe you should break up with your partner because you cheated. I think the right thing to do is to speak to your partner about what you have done, being completely honest about how you feel and what happened. This way you both know what you want from the relationship and whether it is still going to work.

Depends on why you cheated. Did you accidentally cheat because you got really drunk on night and had no idea what was going on and now you feel terrible? Maybe not. Did you plan on cheating because you feel your relationship is inadequate? You should probably tell your partner the truth and you probably don't belong together.

If you cheated, then the best way to handle the situation is to confess to your partner what you have done and see if you can try and make it work. If you want to end it, because of what you did and because you feel bad about to the point that you feel like you don't deserve them, then maybe it would a healthy thing to separate for awhile.

The real question here should be, do you love your partner? You cheated cause you don't love them or just cause of something else? Cause if so, then you may consider the fact if your partner can accept it or not. If you love them, you should tell them and the decision will not be in you hands but if you don't then, yeah, you should break up cause a relationship without love is not healthy.

That is up to you. I think you need to ask yourself why you cheated. What were you not getting from your partner that made you turn to someone else? Do you think you can get that from your partner still, or do you think you can be content without it? Do you WANT to be in this relationship?

You should talk to your partner about the situation that happened and see what they would like to do.

I think you should tell them you cheated, and let them decide if they wanna break up with you or not

Yes you obviously don't have a strong enough relationship, and can get swayed by other people.

I think that first you should tell your partner, he/she has the right to know. Maybe he/she will act differently than you thought. Good luck!

you should let it up to them and not cheat. we make mistakes sure but if your partner is a good one than don't take them for granted let them know how valuable they are. its probably best to consider being single if they leave you
