Should I tell my boyfriend that I cheated?

I think it's important that you're honest in your relationship, it's better if he's told by you than if he was to find out from somebody else. Be truthful and apologetic with him if you want to increase the possibility of your relationship continuing. It will take some time for him to trust you again, and I can't assure you that you'll be deemed forgiveness instantly or at all. However it's best to tell him what you did and why you did it, and explain that it was not done because of him because that can ruin self-esteem pretty badly. Good luck with everything!

I’ve cheated in a past relationship and struggled with guilt and anxiety because of it. It may sound selfish, but I decided to tell my ex- boyfriend I cheated for selfish reasons, so I could free the mental cage I had put myself into. While it had hurt my ex- boyfriend beyond measure, him knowing the truth allowed better closure for when I broke up with him soon after. If you are truly remorseful I would tell your boyfriend the truth because honesty is an important aspect of a relationship. It may weaken his trust in you, but it will give you a chance to earn it back. This will hurt to tell him, but the emancipation from the guilt is worth it.

The short answer is yes, but obviously it can be more complicated than that. This is, of course, a decision that doesn't just affect you. Even if he doesn't know, or never finds out, it can still affect him, and it's worse if he hears it down the road by someone other than you. If you don't want to tell him, consider why. What do you think he'll say or do? You probably know him better than me, but I would assume he would be upset. I know it can be hard to do this sort of thing because it's sort of like enforcing your consequences, but just play it by ear.

I know this is a tricky subject and you are probably worried about how they would react. I would start by asking yourself some questions: Do you think your relationship will be better if you do? Do you think that you would want the same? How do you think they will react if they find out later? Would feeling guilty cause you to react differently in the relationship? Now, if you do decide to, sooner is typically better but I am sure you would find the right time. Be true to yourself and learn from the situation. I wish you luck and I hope you find your way

Yes, it is good to be upfront and honest with your significant other. Although it seems like him not knowing would be the easy way out of a lie, being truthful is one of the essential aspects of a healthy relationship. Your honesty would be greatly appreciated and there is a chance that your significant other will forgive you, of course, considering any of the circumstances or the situation you were placed in. Never be ashamed of being truthful even though the action you are being truthful about may not be your best moment. Best of luck with your relationship!

You should be honest, specially if you feel sorry. You don't know if he will forgive you or not, but it's a form of respect to tell him the truth. He deserves to know. The truth will come out eventually and it will only be worse. Imagine the inverse situation. He wouldn't tell you, but you discovered alone. How would you feel? Not very happy, right? He stays with you because he loves you, and not telling him is equivalent to tricking him. You don't want to do that to someone who truly cares for you, don't you? Because you are not truly a bad person. Confront him and listen to what he has to say, don't take it to heart if he gets angry, angery is a secondary emotion that comes from being hurt or upset. You should convey your sincere apologies to him first. Even if he wants to let go, try to be comprehensive. Take a deep breath.

yes, you should tell your boyfriend that you cheated because trust is a crucial part of any relationship. sit him down and have a one on one honest conversation. make sure to pay attention to his body language and facial expressions. if he has questions, answer them truthfully. make sure to include that you've learned from it and tell him your hopes for the future in regards of the relationship. this is a bump in your relationship with him, but hopefully you guys can move past it. this kind of thing isn't easy, but telling your boyfriend will make some kind of difference.

That's totally your decision...if you care about this boyfriend of yours and truly don't want to hurt his feelings, then you should tell him...not telling him will end up in both of you feeling worse...he needs and deserves to know this...try to think of it from his point of view...in his shoes, I am sure you too would want to know if your partner had cheated...based on all these points, you will decide...do you want to treat him like you would like to be treated? then, tell him...if not, then don't tell him...just remember, either way has it's pros and cons...choose wisely...

Yes.You should because it is not only the right thing to do but he might find out from somebody else.It will hurt him but not so much if he hear it from you , there also might be a small chance that he can forgive you. Whatever is in the dark will come to light eventually.You Don't want him finding out about it from someone else especially the person who you cheated with. It will hurt but prepare yourself mentally that anything can happen.How important is your relationship to you? If it means a lot then why build it on lies ?

Yes , If you really want to have a stress free life and if he is a genuine guy and really loves you he would forgive you but if he wont then you can say sorry and move on. I know this is purely blunt and straight , however that is how you should be , you cheated for a reason , if he loves you he will rectify that and if you love him back you will truly feel sorry for your act and never commit cheating again. If none of you are fair to each other then you both are living a fake and relationship based on lie and sooner or later the lie always comes out and hurts more than it would or could have been. its better to come straight now than to overthink and be sad all your life.
