This is your decision and your decision only. However, there are some things that you should consider. 1) if you were cheated on would you like to know it? 2) if you don't tell him, it will be on you to carry the burned of hiding something.
Being honest can be difficult but honesty is also the foundation of a great relationship. Many couples go through cheating and they become stronger after that.
In any case, whatever you decide to do, you'll learn something about yourself. Everybody does mistakes, sometimes they can leave us huge scars, but in this case you have the opportunity to improve the relationship with yourself.

Loving someone means you're willing to be completely honest and open with them because the love you both have for each other won't change a thing just because of a mistake.
It may or may not even be your fault in a situation like this, at the end of the day you'll probably feel guilty that it happened and you'll need support from your boyfriend to help you cope with the emotions.
I haven't walked a day in your shoes so I can't tell you what to do, Although I do trust that you have an understanding boyfriend and that I'm always here to listen.

Yes! Being open and honest shows integrity, and that is something everybody in the world needs to be. Even though admitting to a mistake can be difficult, it's a choice you have to make not only for him but your self as well. He deserves to know the truth even if it may hurt. Think about how you would feel in a situation like this if the tables were reversed. Always remember the golden rule. "Treat others how you want to be treated". Besides, maybe you should think about the reason you cheated in the first place. Maybe your boyfriend just isn't the right one for you.

What do you think you should do? What do you chose to be the right answer? You could choose either way and have multiple different outcomes. Think about what the right thing to do to you is. Whatever you chose know it was what you wanted. If you have doubts you can always take time to deal with them however think of your situation as someone elses what would you tell them to do. What do you think is the right choice. It is completely up to you what happens. Whatever you do know your in control and that it was what you wanted to do. Be your own person.

I believe this is a double edge question. On one hand you have to tell just in case you feel guilt and for karmic reasons as I am sure you would not want someone to do the same to you. On the other hand, we have to decipher the true reasoning behind the cheating. Was it out of unhappiness, neglect, abuse, there are so many variables that have to be decided in order to give an answer. But, I am a firm believer in karma and believe that there are many ways to end something versus going to the extreme.

I think honesty is what makes a relationship move forward. Hiding infidelity is in no way beneficial to the growth of a relationship or the individuals involved. Although cheating can end a relationship, it'll be a lot worse if it is hidden because it will be like living a lie and can lead ti a build up of resentment. Coming clean may not be easy, but it's better than hiding. If you are the victim in the relationship, you'll want to know if your partner is unfaithful. Being kept in the dark and finding out by yourself can be very painful. Save your boyfriend that pain and come clean.

If telling your boyfriend you cheated feels like the best option, then you know what to do. I was cheated on multiple times in the past, and the paranoia that accomapnied the knowing but not knowing, drove me mad. I thought that I was going crazy. However, once my boyfriend (at the time) told me he had cheated, a huge weight was lifted off of my shoulders and I was able to breathe again. From my experience honesty is the best way to heal and to move forward with your life. It isn't a easy decision to make, but you will make the right choice, I am sure of it!

That depends entirely on why you're having that conversation.
Most times, people tell their significant other that they've cheated because they're not able to handle the guilt and want to feel better. Oftentimes, they don't think about the kind of hurt they're going to cause and they're not really trying to repair the relationship.
Make sure you're telling your boyfriend because you want to fix the relationship and be ready to deal with the consequences, which most often will mean the end of the relationship. Don't pressure your partner to forgive you or to continue the relationship - if it's a dealbreaker for them, you're just going to have to accept that.
All that doesn't mean that it's never possible to recover from someone cheating in a relationship, but it's honestly rare. You're likely to be better off doing some soul searching and figure out what led you to cheat so you can deal with that and handle future relationships more appropriately.

I personally would tell you. There is nothing I hate more in this world than lies. If infidelity is bad enough, at least tell him. Keep in mind that it is also much better if he discovers through you rather than through other people. I think that although cheating on your partner is wrong, the most important thing is to confess it and that he decides what to do about it, that is, continue the relationship or break it.
If you don't tell him, he will live deceived, he will live a lie. He surely trusts you and would like to know what has happened first hand.
