Should I tell my boyfriend that I cheated?

Yes, you should always be honest in a relationship. It will be much worse if he finds out later; especially if he finds out from someone other than you. Couples can work through problems with enough love and trust, but every moment you choose to keep something like this from your boyfriend, the trust diminishes more and more. You should tell your boyfriend as soon as possible and try to talk it through. Even though it can be scary to face someone we care about and admit our mistakes, we should understand that it was a mistake and be upfront about it so that we can move on and change. It isn't fair to him because he deserves to know, and it isn't fair to you to have to live with the guilt. Do the right thing. I believe in your relationship.

Yes, without a doubt. Hiding this fact and then having your significant other find out this act, throws in that doubt that trust has now been broken. Being upfront and honest at all times no matter what is what can keep a relationship growing past these difficult situations. Never let it go unsaid and never spoken. Your significant other may think that it is themselves who is to blame for what you did. And we both know that your actions are yours alone to bare. Don't let your significant other believe in the falsehood that they are responsible for your actions. You never want to build a relationship on the aspect of a lie. It is not good for either of you. Just always be open and honest.

You need to consider the reason why you cheated. Are you unhappy in the relationship or was it a drunken mistake? Will he find out from someone else if you choose not to tell him? Keeping secrets is often something that eats us up inside and it may be that not telling him has as much of an impact on your relationship as telling him might. Ultimately, you know your situation better than anyone else does and you probably already have an idea of what you think is the best thing to do. He is likely to feel hurt by what has happened, which is understandable, as nobody likes to be cheated on, so this is also something you need to tsle into consideration.

In my opinion - yes! Relationships are built on honesty and trust. Even though it will certainly hurt him, keeping secrets won't do any good in the long run either. Only if you are honest you two can figure out how to move on from that, maybe your feelings of guilt will be a little less. Even though it is very difficult, I would try to not beat around the bush. Try being direct about it. Maybe you should think about what to say in advance. Having your "speech" already prepared can help to not hurt your boyfriend more than necessary.

i mean...at the end of the day it's up to you! but communication is vital in any healthy relationship. Personally, even though i'm sure they would be devastated, they would appreciate that you were open and honest with them. If you decide to tell them though...understand that it will take some time for them to come to terms with it and expect them to be upset for a while. However, as long as you keep a steady line of communication open within the relationship both of you will become happier within the relationship itself. I hope this helps you out!!

yes, Honesty is the best thing to do in any situation. you have to think about different scenarios. Yes, he may leave or he may stay. But you still have to think about if he will find out a different way and that outcome. That outcome may be completely worse than just telling him yourself. Most people would rather hear it from their partner, than a random in the street or their friends. You have to put yourself in his shoes. You would want to know about this if it happened from them instead of someone else on the streets.. Right?

Honesty is the best policy. If you truly care for your boyfriend, it would be in your best interest to be genuine and honest with him. Otherwise, the feeling of guilt may overwhelm you to a point where you will not be able to tolerate it anymore. You should also be able to reflect on the situation and ask yourself, "If my boyfriend cheated on me, would I want him to be truthful with me?" If this answer is yes, then there is no reason why you shouldn't tell your boyfriend. At that point, you could give reasoning to why you think it may have happened and what you can do to improve the relationship if he feels it can be saved.

Yes. He deserves to know. He will feel far more pain if he finds out on his own, and it sounds like you feel guilty about it. If you do feel guilty, telling him will ease your conscience and (maybe) give you another honest shot at the relationship. It will be up to him if you get this chance or not. Keep this in mind: if you go to him about it before he finds out, there will be a much higher chance he stays with you. Honesty is appreciated, and it shows that it won't happen again (and that you feel badly about it). On the other hand, if you don't want to keep the relationship, it doesn't matter as much if you tell him or not. I would still recommend it, but how you handle breaking up with him is up to you. Good luck!

Honesty is always the best policy. If you want to be with him then having this secret will only hold you back in your relationship. If you tell him the truth there is a chance he could forgive you and then you could be together without the fear of the secret coming out. From personal experience, I would say that they always find out so telling him would be the best idea because it sounds better if it comes from you. It may be really scary and it feels like you messed up but telling him the truth means you can start a new plate.

In relationships, honesty is always the best policy. This may be a hard topic to being up to him now, but being up front about it is important. By hiding this from him, you run the risk of feeling guilty all the time and feeling afraid of the consequences if he were to find out later on his own. Most secrets don't last so by dealing with this now, you can decide together what the next steps may be for you both as civilly as possible rather than having the added weight of you hiding it from him on top of the cheating.
