Should I tell my boyfriend that I cheated?

Yes it is better to go from your end than him to find from others. This may change his mind as well in a positive way to think what might be the reason of it.

It's a difficult decision, because contrary to the common belief the truth is not always the best solution. By keeping this information to yourself you might spare the other person considerable grief. However, the weight of your secret may influence how you function in a relationship and it also may affect it negatively. You should take a moment to think if you want to stay in this relationship at all - maybe it is time to break up, and if so, telling the other person that you cheated will not make any difference.

Well, I'd want to know what your intention would be. Is it to "get it off your own chest"? Is it to make your relationship closer? maybe you'd need to consider his feelings?

Yes you should tell him. The hardest thing to gain in a relationship is trust. And when someone violates that it hurts both. Being a man that had been cheated on by every woman I've ever been with the most important thing to me is trust. If rather my woman just come out and tell me then to lie to me about it. Me and my wife have been togather for years after I was cheated on bc the truth came out and we worked past it. It may not work out that way for you but atleast you would have that Burden off your shoulders. At the very least it might bring you to a point in your relationship to either build or move on.

If your boyfriend cheated on you would you want him to tell you ? I think honesty will hurt at first but in the long run will be for the best . From there you both can decide that the relationship isn’t working for you or work on repairing things.

Yes. Honesty is the best way to move forward. Whether he forgives you for your actions or not, the chances of you firstly: being able to deal with the guilt and not tell him eventually, and secondly: him finding out, are very slim. If you explain yourself as soon as you can, perhaps there's a way to ease the situation and heal. You also owe it to him, as somebody you love, to be truthful and let him take a decision of how he wants to continue & if he wants to continue the relationship.

Hello, Yes I think it would be in your best interest to let your boyfriend know you cheated. I was personally cheated on and wasn't aware of it till I found out by someone else. It's best to let your partner know what you've done coming from you than someone else. It's okay to make mistakes and don't be afraid to let them know the truth.

Sometimes, you already know in your heart whether you should or not. Even if you are afraid, honesty is usually the best policy. A relationship founded on lies is like a building without a foundation - it will eventually tumble over. Consider asking yourself why you cheated in the first place. Are there some emotional or physical needs that you have that your current partner is not meeting? Consider discussing this with them.

Yes. My personal belief is that you should be as open and as honest as possible in any relationship. It isn't ideal, but if you tell him yourself and give him your rationale then it is possible to keep it strong (if that is your intention). It will be much worse if he finds out through someone else. "The truth will never hurt as much as the exposure of a lie"

First off, ask yourself why you cheated. Was it a heat of the moment thing, or was it because you weren't getting something you needed from your boyfriend? If there's something lacking in your relationship you should address that first, or if you're done with the relationship just break up with him. But if you want the relationship to keep going, then yes, tell him.
