Should I tell my boyfriend that I cheated?

The decision is ultimately yours, but relationships are often reliant on a foundation of trust. Try putting yourself in the shoes of your boyfriend. If he cheated on you, would you rather know the truth about your boyfriend's actions in the long run? It doesn't necessarily mean that the relationship has to end, but rather an admission that you're all made of faults and that you value your partner's trust over anything else. Look inside yourself and see how you want the relationship to continue. If trust is something you value in the long run, it might be worth it.

Being honest and open about those things is very important, especially if you're hoping to stay in the relationship with said person. Communication is key. The truth will have to come forward, eventually. Everyone makes mistakes in life, but it would be fair to tell your partner what has happened; as a gesture of respect for his feelings. It may be daunting having to have that conversation but, depending on what you want, you can hopefully work on things together. It entirely depends on what you are seeking. Are you wanting to stay with your partner? Either way, it would be kind to tell him about what has happened.

yes, I think because relationship requires trustworthiness. Try to find the suitable time when your partner is in free and relaxed state tell him that why you cheated how you got trapped and how you could do nothing in that case. There is no intention in you and if ever you have, then accept it and assure him that you will not commit that again. and in case you don't want to stay in relationship with your boyfriend end it, tell him that it is better to end the relationship and go on own respective ways.

You should figure out what was going wrong with your relationship in the first place that made you want to look somewhere else for love. Cheating is just a result of a lack which exists in your current relationship. I think you should focus on how to heal the gap in your relationship as opposed to just saying what happened and trying to figure it out. If it's a relationship that you want to keep going to the source problem is always the way to go. Speak it out put it all on the table in an honest no aggressive way.

In my personal endeavors I have learned that honesty truly is the best policy. Relationships built on lies and secrets begin to crumble and generally don't end up well. The best way to have an honest, healthy relationship is to come clean and start fresh. To avoid hurting both parties you have to look at the relationship as a whole and not just on the event of cheating. Self-reflection is a powerful tool. Ask yourself how you would feel if your partner cheated and didn't tell you about the event or waited to tell you? Not being honest can cause more hurt to both parties in the end.

if it was up to me i would tell him that i cheated. first thing first, it's not something that can be hidden forever. in case, you hid it can you live with the guilt? also i would think what led me to the cheating? is there something wrong with the relationship or did i loose feeling? there is never a easy answer when it comes to relationships but there is always a choice to reflect on the reason why it has come to this. also the frequency of cheating has to be taken into account. has it happened before if not, what's different this time around? there are lot of questions that could be asked and be reflected upon.

For me, it depends on the conditions of when that happened. Was there emotional connection between you and the other person or it was just physical? You have to bear in mind that each relationship is different and cheating can be a serious issue for a concrete one whereas for another it can serve as a way to open up about things that need to be communicated. In my case, I would only tell if I thought my relationship was going to be deteriorated because of that fact. But that is completely up to you and your type of relationship. In any case, remember to be kind!
