Should I tell my boyfriend that I cheated?

I believe honesty is a crucial ingredient in every relationship, so maybe the best case scenario is to share what has happened, and try to rebuild from there. Explain the situation to your partner, take accountability and share your feelings, but also be prepared for his feelings and what his reaction might be. I think whats done is done, and in order for you to move on you have to share this past mistake, and if the relationship doesn't make it then its a lesson you learned for the future. Its a fine line between accepting what you did was a mistake and letting guilt overwhelm you, so while you do admit your wrongs, make sure to not let it define you.

As someone who's been cheated on, my answer will always be: yes, tell the person you cheated on. In my experience, the truth always comes up, sooner or later. He might as well find out from you than from somebody or from somewhere else. My boyfriend hid it from me for a year and a half, and basically a year after finding out, it still hurts as if it was day one, and what hurts the most was the fact that he had been lying to my face for all that time. I think out of basic respect, you should be honest and face the consequences of your actions.

I think Honesty is very important in a relationship. If you cheated then you should tell him. It might be hard to admit your wrong doing and it may make him upset but telling him is a step towards solving the issue head on. If you re upfront and honest with him it would show him that your are sorry for what you did and it may also show him you want to work on solving the issue. Telling him yourself is always better then him finding out on his own, once he knows he can work on forgiving you.

When a breach of trust, such as cheating, occurs in a relationship, the best way forward if you want to have a loving, open, and honest relationship in the future, is to address what has happened with honesty and a penitent heart. This means, if you want to have a healthy relationship in the future, it is in your best interest to come clean about what transpired and express remorse, if that remorse or penitence is sincere. While it's true that a person who has been cheated on may choose not to stay in the relationship, not addressing the cheating will only prolong the lying by omission, which will create a larger obstacle to trust in the future. In general, if you wish to maintain trusting, loving, honest relationships, being trusting, loving, and honest will help considerably.

As a general rule, it is almost always better to tell the truth. When we are hiding something that weighs on our mind, our behavior tends to give others signs that something is bothering us. This may not be the case for some people who are better liars or do not feel guilty for cheating on their partners. It is also difficult to hide, because what is hidden will eventually come out in some way. A good question to ask yourself is: "If I was in my boyfriend's position, would I want to know that my partner cheated on me? Would I be upset if my partner hid that from me?".

Yes, you should. It is better to me honest than lie if to your boyfriend. Cheating isn’t good but it make is ever so slightly better if you are honest and tell him the truth and every thing Exactly how it happened and when it happened. Please make sure that you don’t do it again as it can make people feel like you do not love them and that you do not care about them. I know this may not be the case but it’s worthwhile saying just it case. I really hope this helps you know how to tell them.

Yes, this is important if you want to have a healthy and honest relationship. If your partner would have cheated on you, would you like him to tell you? Explain what happened, be honest if you feel that cheating on your boyfriend was a mistake. Tell him how you learn from your actions. Have a conversation on what caused you to cheat. If you feel like you don't want to be in a relationship anymore, talk with him and see what he thinks and feels. Talking about cheating can be challenging, but it's okay talking about it to your boyfriend.

I am no expert in your relationship with your boyfriend, but I suppose that this question has probably a deeper answer. The first thing to be considered is the state of your current relationship. Are you happy? Do you feel your needs are being provided? What is it that caused you to feel you needed to cheat? If you are in a relationship that is not meeting your needs, it is likely that you are not in one that will last. Strong relationships have a foundation of trust and caring. Once that is compromised it is hard to recover, especially with cheating. If you seek to remedy things with your boyfriend, you should probably come clean to him and see how he feels and consider what is maybe best for him in this situation as well. Should both of you be willing to move on from this, then the next step is to work together to rebuild that trust and set some expectations going forward, whatever those might mean for you. The other option is to not tell him. Depending on how you feel about it, you might sit on this information that you did this to him and be eaten alive by the tension and internal strife that it causes. Ultimately, resolving tensions and being honest are usually always the best in a relationship. If that ends it, then it enables you both to find something that would work best for you and make you happier.

Yes, 100% yes, cheating is something that is pretty terrible in a relationship but being honest about it will make it so much easier on both parties. If your boyfriend still decides to be with you afterward, then you won't have to live with that guilt. Not telling him will only lead you to feel guilty and always having to hide something which will only get worse with time. You can even try to explain why you weren't happy and what caused you to cheat and at least from what I know, there are a few circumstances that I may be okay with (i.e. wanting to try something with someone of the same gender).

Honesty is the best policy, and this is especially true in intimate relationships. Your boyfriend deserves to know the truth. Being honest sooner rather than later may actually save your relationship. Healthy relationships must have honest, clear communication. Tell your boyfriend the truth, and then if possible you can work together in the future. Perhaps counseling may help you both. If there are issues in your relationship that led to the cheating, they need to be addressed as well. If you want to have a future together, you need to acknowledge the past so you can both move forward with your lives.
