Confessing that you have cheated on your boyfriend may be quite difficult, but it is good for the both of you, if you tell him as early as possible. Talk in a polite manner. Sit down and sort out the issue. There's nothing in this world that cannot be solved. So breathe out and tell your boyfriend. It would also be better if you guys mutually break up. It won't be good if your boyfriend finds this out by himself. So it would be more calmer and mutual if you confess it first to your boyfriend. All the best friend!!

Definitely. If you don't then it'll hurt him even more if he finds out from someone else. But if you tell him, sure, he might be sad and mad at you for cheating, but if you don't, he'll be sad and mad at you for cheating AND lying to him.

I understand you probably feel scared or confused at this moment, but take a break and focus on you for at least an hour and at the end come to your decision. Sometimes its best to look at your situation with a clear mind.

I believe you should tell him. Relationships are about trust and honesty so if telling him that you cheated may hurt but he honesty is ill surely be appreciated in the long run.

Yes you should. It shows that you care enough to admit your mistakes and are willing to work it out. If you keep it a secret and he finds out he will probably never trust you again.

Keeping it to yourself may prolong your own stress as the guilt could way heavily on your conscience. The longer you leave it the harder it will become to tell your partner and will ultimately completely ruin the trust built between you. It's better you get it done with and try and discuss both of your feelings. Even though I do believe this, don't push yourself into it- find the right situation in a comfortable area to tell him, make sure you're both ready to hear the truth and make sure if he needs it, you give him space, for the best.

No one on this site will know all the ins and outs of your relationship. The fact that you came here suggests you are unsure about the morality of the situation; perhaps you are stuck between keeping him in a state of blissful ignorance and being afraid of what he will do when he finds out. Perhaps you are delaying the inevitable and you feel guilty. In cases such as these, general advice is the best anyone can do. Relationships require open communication and trust to function. If you feel that you have done something to compromise that trust, it may cause a rift that can potentially end the relationship. Ultimately it is up to you to make this decision, and delaying the decision only prolongs your moral conundrum.

Honesty and trust is very important in a relationship, if you respect your partner yes I think you should tell him what you've done, then it will be up to him to forgive you or not.

Short answer yes. If you are with your boyfriend for all the right reasons then there should be no reason not to tell him. Same works for the opposite gender.
