Should I tell my boyfriend that I cheated?

yes, have him find out from you rather someone else, he will be pained either way but less when its directly from you

It sounds like you're experiencing some guilt and want to share this information with him. I think being honest with him would be best - maybe telling him can be a way for you to start having conversations that might help you navigate the relationship?

Be honest. This is the best you can do. Then he'll decide if he still wants to be with you or not. But as an advice... don't cheat again. It's a very awful thing and I can relate based on my experience. I didn't feel good when my ex told me that.

yes i think you should tell your boyfriend you cheated on them its better to hear it from you then from some on else

If you think that he is your boyfriend you should have a real relationship with him. Cheating may be a mistake but the best think you can do is telling him the truth. He may be disappointed and lose his trust on you but you can try to expand the situation.

Yes, he might even forgive you. Lots of people prefer to know what is going on but be sad than to be oblivious to the things going on around you and be happy. Wouldn't you rather be happy in a world where you were never lied to?

Yes.. Its only fair because you would want him to tell you that he did if he ever did rather than he find out from someone else

Yes, honesty is always a key component in relationships. If it breaks your relationship, that is always okay.

The answer to this is tough since we fear losing the one we love over a mistake, but put yourself in their shoes. Would you want to know? How can you be sure that wouldn't happen again if you don't reach out and communicate. Things happen and most of the time can be repaired, but it is really fair to allow the person you have cheated on to make the decision as to what they are able to take. I am not saying it will be easy, but it is the fair and honest way. I would suggest if you choose to be honest, plan a time (or even a therapy appointment) to give the news so that it is as gentle as possible.

Witout any doubt you should.You were in a relationship with him, and thus he has the right to know.Hiding it will make things worse if he gets to know it from any other source.The best thing would be to tell him everything as soon as you can and apologise wholeheartedly. Hiding it and lying about it will be of no good. It'll affect you both at one point or the other in your lives if you do so.So tell him as soon as you can.
