you should let him know, and also let him know why you did it. we sometimes think the truth will hurt but it is the lies that hurt more. if you cheated with no reason then maybe you need to ask yourself why, but I strongly believe whoever you cheated upon, has the right to know. this might sound hash or too modest, but all relationships are built on trust and loyalty. so whatever was the reason as to why you cheated, you should be able to discuss it with your boyfriend because he has the right to know about it.

Yes. Don't keep it a lie, it'll only make it worse. Bring it up gently. Tell him the reasoning behind it. And just hope for the best. Cheating can be hard to take in, so just try and remain calm about it. Try to tell them in person, because over text or phone is harder to take in. Be alone when you mention it. There may be a fight. But remain calm, that is the best you can really do. Don't yell, don't hide it. Keeping it a secret only makes it worse. Tell him directly. If there is anything else, please lemme know

Yes, honesty is the best way forward. It may come out eventually and the backlash and downfall will be even worse than what it would have even if you were just honest in the first place. If you discuss this with your boyfriend now you still have a chance at repairing the relationship and working on your problems together. You should also ask yourself, what brought you to cheating in the first place? You must have an area of unhappiness or unfulfilling aspects of your relationship that has led you to seek happiness else where. Have a good long think about it and I hope you resolve things soon x

Yes. The longer you go without telling him the harder it will be for the both of you. With these types of things there is always a level of guilt that sets in, holding that to yourself really just brings forward a more toxic relationship moving forward. The longer you wait the messier it gets in the long term. Sometimes we make mistakes, easier to admit them and try to move on with or without each other than living in a relationship holding a big burden like this. Its neither healthy on the pair of you or even yourself.

Honesty is one of the key parts of a relationship. Also, being able to confess your mistakes is a key part of strength. If you’re honest, at least you’re not hiding anything anymore. Your boyfriend will be hurt, of course, but if he really loves you that much, he will forgive you and mercifully give you a second chance. It will hurt him worse to let him find out on his own, rather than continue keeping it secreted from him. Honesty is an attractive quality and an admirable strength. If he loves you that much, he will see it in you.

If you feel you are ready to handle any consequences, then go for it! You will have to prepare yourself with anything that can possibly happen when bringing up something like that. I suggest taking the time writing out what you want to say and work your way up with bringing it up with him to help you better get your important info and point across. Carrying the weight of some secrets can be daunting on your shoulders and wellness. I hope you find this helpful and I hope everything goes well between both of you!!!

If you want a honest relationship i think you should. Would it be a honest relationship anymore if you lied or didn't tell? Do you want to have the pressure and stress to hide it for as long as your relationship will last? Is it worth to start stressing about every day? Most often it isn't, as it takes so much out of your daily energy you won't be able to do anywhere near the things you normally do, because you use all your energy on worrying. Also how would you feel like if he didn't tell about cheating to you? Wouldn't it be upsetting? Treat your close ones like you want to be treated. If you're fine with him lying about similar stuff, sure, keep it a secret. But if you're not fine, why would you put him trough something similar you wouldn't want to go through?

yes , you should. it is unfair to your boyfriend if you keep on lying to him. you really want what is best for him. however, his reaction might not be positive as he will be going through several emotions such as pain, sadness, and betrayal. it might be the end to your relationship with him , but you did what is right by telling him the truth that he deserves. it is important for you to tell him the reason why you did it. in addition, make sure to be as kind and sweet as possible since he must’ve had enough on his plate already.
