Should I tell my boyfriend that I cheated?

i think that that's a personal decision that only you can make, however i do think honesty and transparency is a foundation and cornerstone of any successful relationship. confiding in your boyfriend about something you did that you may not necessarily be proud of is never easy, however i think being able to share between each other times of infidelity may only strengthen your relationship in the future and build up trust by being able to do it.

If you think that he deserves the truth, go ahead and tell them. They may appreciate your honesty :)

Yes, is the obvious answer. He deserves to know that. It's not like cheating in a video game or something. This is real life and a real person. It doesn't matter if it was one time or that you regret it a lot or something. What has happened has happened and you should come clean about it. How he responds and how what your relationship will be with him in the future shouldn't stop you from being honest to him. It must be extremely hard and painful for you to open up to him about that incident but consider it as your penance. Take it as a way to cleanse the stain on your conscience. Own up and understand that no matter what the condition was, what you did is very wrong. And now all you can do is to try and correct your mistake. What many do these days is that they try to blame it on their partner's head. They may blame them for not being loving or abusive or indifferent. But that's just plain stupid. Because you always have the option to dump your "evil" partner and then find a better person or have one night stands or whatever you want. So do the right thing and tell him about it.

Yes. Wouldn't you want to know if you were cheated on? He deserves to know what led you to make that decision.

yes you should, take it out of your chest and tell him all about it, he might forgive you and you both could start over on a fresh slate

Yes, keeping it away will be worse and there's a better chance he'll give u another shot if you be honest

Of course you do, that do you want to live forever on lies, if you lie ones you will always keep lying

In my opinion, yes! The choice is yours, though - just make sure you consider all the pros and cons of the possible outcomes for each of you while making your decision.

Absolutely! I truly believe that honesty is key and vital in every relationship. As soon as you're ready, tell him.

I think any relationship builds with trust. It is natural to make mistakes. We all do and at times, it goes beyond our scope. But don't you think the other person deserves to be made aware of it? They might not take it well, but we must learn to work upon it. And I think your boyfriend will appreciate and understand if he knows it through you rather than finding it out himself. That way it feel less like a betrayal.
