Cheating can be a bad thing but you can sometimes depending on the situation talk to your partner about what happened and together find a solution. With relationships it is always best to be honest 100% :)

I don't think so! I think honesty is the best policy. Sit down with your partner, and talk it over. Talk about your feelings involved, talk about the situation, and talk about your relationship as a whole. Discuss any issues that need to be addressed, and work it out. Relationships can be fixed with enough love and hard work!

I would just be open and honest with your partner. Tell them, see where it goes. If it goes well that would be good. But if it doesn't, then that's on you. Everybody makes mistakes.

oh, sorry. You must be feeling pretty bad, Thou if you still love and trust Him, I think your partner is to decide that.... Tell Him every and be very sorry, Let him know how bad you felt about and promising Him it will not happen again.

First and foremost definitely yes. At least you took the initiative proving that you're guilty and willing to make up for it. Second, please before leaving her/him apologize and asked for forgiveness, confessed what you have done. And third reconcile or at least compromised. That's all.

Cheating is complicated, ciking clean more so, the reality is honesty regardless of outcome is the best way. Choose a neutral environment, and definately a private one, the are bound to get upset, cry, shout or all of the aforementioned. You dont want them to feel pressured to be civil. Start with apologies, start with admitting to making a mistake and come clean, don't blame them for your cheating, because reality is yes, they could be a determining factor to your infidelity, but you had the choice to leave or address the issue. Tell them where you are at? In or out? If they choose to leave let them cool down, and let them choose whether they wish to continue the talk or relationship if that is where you want to be, this could be an immediate, or timely decision. And be strong. People make mistakes

That should have been something you did in place of cheating in my opinion. I would rather for someone to break up with me before they cheat. Maybe that's just me though. Since you already cheated it's best to be honest with your partner and tell them what you did and let them decide on whether or not to end the relationship. Also if you let them find out that you did this on their own it can cause major problems and make the situation worse, so just come forward. On the other hand I you know that you can't be committed and tied down to just one person it would be best for you to end things with he/she.

If you feel remorse and want to continue a healthy relationship with that person, you need to be open and honest with them. If they do not want to continue the relationship, you need to let them go.

i feel you should first of all forgive yourself.Second, you should go and confront your partner and tell him/her the truth.Doing so you will feel light - hearted.Your partner will then consider the fact of whether he/she should give this relationship a second go or not.This way neither of you feel guilty.Then you need to respect your partner's decision ,whatever it might be.This way you are conveying your concern for him and yourself too.If he /she refuses to accept you, you should apologize once and leave the situation on a happy note.

You should first allow your partner to know the fact that you have cheated, especially if unprotected as this is a very selfish act if you have continued having sex while unprotected, it jeopardizes the other person safety, one can see that as not really love, as love is commonly defined by caring about someone else over yourself. Once your partner knows that you have cheated, this is a betrayal of trust, and that is up to your partner to decide if that trust can be regained or not, most cases that trust never gets rebuilt and it takes alot of relationship counselling or people go their own way and end up resenting the other person.
