Should I tell my boyfriend that I cheated?

yes. trust is mega important in relationships, and the person will most likely find out some way so its better that it comes from you than someone else. just be honest. and understand that it will be hard for them to trust you again. dont make any excuses when you tell them (ie- i had a few drinks) just be straight up and tell them that you are sorry. then see what happens from there but you must understand that you have hurt that person for now, but that you have done the right thing and told them the truth. you will feel 10000x better for it, rather than keeping it a secret.

You should. He deserves to know the truth. And he deserves to decide. If you regret what you did, apologize and make sure he knows. Tell him why you cheated. Tell him what you truly feel. Save him from the heartache. Let him decide. If he loves you, you know from his actions. But if he really loves you and you cheated. Youd never find another like him. Love him, and dont leave him. Think if you really love him what if he cheated on you.

I do believe sometimes somethings are better left unsaid, like maybe you have a small crush ,but not something as big of a deal like cheating. You should tell him even though it’s hard to. I mean you’d want to know if he cheated, right? It will suck but it’s for the best. It’ll be good for him and you. You will feel as though a weight was lifted off your shoulders and have a clear conscience. He deserves to know this. If it was a one time thing just tell him it was a mistake and you want to move past it and will never do that again.

Absolutely should tell them. It can either be a mistake that the two of you work through together or you let it fester until it becomes an infection that poisons the relationship. In my own experience I was forced into the 2nd outcome and then manipulated and lied to further as if I was insane for my suspicions etc. There was no future for that relationship because of how much damage the endless lying had done. I can't describe the pain and misery I went through and most days I am doing everything I can not to let people notice my heart is broken and I've got no will to live. If you truly want to be with him, tell him the truth now. Before it's too late...

Yes! Lying to him or keeping the secret is much worse than just being honest with him! It could even make you feel better if you tell him! If he finds out some other way than by you it would hurt him worse than if you just tell him! He maybe mad but you need to tell him! You shouldn’t be cheating in the first place but you should still tell him! If you need any help or just someone to vent to I am here for you! I would be more than happy to help you! 😀 ~ Makaylahelps3550

Telling a boyfriend or girlfriend that you cheated is hard and can come with many emotions. Think about how you would feel if someone cheated on you and didn't tell you. How would you feel? Also, if they were open and told you there are the possibilities to move on or work something out. I guess when someone keeps the truth comes with the feeling of guilt and there is the idea that at some point you get found out. So, what do you think? To tell or not to tell? Do you feel guilty? Do you feel something in the relationship caused this?

Trust is extremely important in any relationship. You might think that nobody will ever know but the truth has the ability of making itself known. It might be better in the long run if you tell your boyfriend now. Personally, I don't think you should cheat but considering that you did this is something that you should talk to your boyfriend about. It's a big deal and it's better if he hears it from you than from someone else. That could potentially make it worse for everyone involved. By telling him directly, you still have the chance to make sure he understands your side and have the best chance of continuing your relationship after this.

Yes, it's better for him to know about it from you then from someone else. If he finds out from another person he will think you were trying to hide it and get even more mad. Being honest will help the situation and admitting that what you know that what you did was wrong. Keeping it from him will also make you even more guilty because you are keeping secrets after what you did. You can't undo what you already did so living up to your actions will make him feel a little bit better. Finding out from you will be better then him finding out by anyone else.

Honesty is one of the building foundation for a relationship. It's also the key reason why there's an increase in trust issues and so many fall outs. If you really think that he's the one and you want to continue the relationship it's important that you remain honest. People make mistakes and there comes a time when we realize how wrong we were. If something like that was done to you, how would you want him to react? Would you want him to be honest and tell you about what he did? Place yourself in his shoes that should help you to analyze the situation. If you think it's not working out tell him that too. There's no point in staying in a relationship where true love doesn't exist. Both of deserve better. After all it's better to hurt someone with the truth than comfort with a lie. I hope that helps you reach some clarity.

Always put yourself in his position. Would you have wanted to know if your boyfriend had cheated on you. It's not my place to advice you on how to go about your life but always think from the other person's perspective. Respect your boyfriend as an individual and as a human being you loved or used to love. It's also okay if you don't want to tell him because you're guilty or just because you are afraid of his reaction. You entitled to your own feelings and that's completely fine. You are the best judge of your own choices and decisions.
