Should I tell my boyfriend that I cheated?

If it was me, i would because trust is key to a relationship. So for you to tell him that is something big because most people wouldnt tell there partner they did.

One needs to think and ask themself if your own subconscious mind is not liking the fact that you are cheating or you dont want to cheat because you have a boyfriend? What makes you most afraid? You conscience or the principles you are obliged to follow by the society?! You need to ask yourself what is important to you and there lies your answer!

Depends on the circumstances and who you are as a person as well as who both of you are as a couple. I don't know what happened but as you have already allowed yourself to cheat I would assume that the relationship is over or dying off slowly so I would suggest to tell him and to break it off instead of potentially hurting him (even more).

It depends on your motive. If you are only telling him so you can soothe your guilt, that you should not. You are just trying to make yourself feel better, other than doing what is best for him. If you are genuinely trying to do the right thing, then you have to decide whether telling him the trust will do more good than harm. Some white lies could be very helpful for the relationship. Nevertheless, it also depends on whether you still want to maintain the relationship. By telling him, it might lead to ending your relationship with him.

This is a question I hear a lot. If you cheated on your boyfriend, you should absolutely tell him. If you don't tell him, he will probably find out from someone else, and that will be even worse. Telling him yourself shows that you realize that what you did was wrong, that you are genuinely sorry about it, and that you are willing to talk things out to find out how your relationship will go from there. It is super important that you tell him as soon as possible, so you can both work through any problems or concerns, and develop trust again.

Hi! I hope maybe my story can provide some insight for you! I have never walked in your shoes, so I can't say what you should do personally, however I can share a story with you. I had once cheated on my husband with someone that I did deeply care for. Please keep in mind that mistakes happen, this does not make you a bad person. I decided to be honest with him. I told him everything. Sure, it was very hard in the first few months following that, but after some time and mended trust we made it through. We are stronger for it. The honestly helped both him forgive me and me to forgive myself.

No, you should not if this was just a sexual incident with no further consequences but a guilty consciousness. Yes, if this was an act of love or affection, for it will have dire consequences, if you subdue such feelings. Morale has nothing to do with sex, but a lot with love. Your boyfriend has a right to know, if you do not love him any more for we have a stark responsibility for those who love us and as a consequence we must protect them from all harm. Even from harm that we may or may not inflict on them. Make up your mind about this incident and try to find out whether it has been sexual desire or affection that let you commit. Much love to you sister.

The decision to tell someone about cheating is a personal one, and one that I can't make for you. But I can share a story about the time I cheated and chose to tell my partner about it: I had been with my girlfriend for almost two years. Things had gone really well for us. But then I went into a depressive episode. My relationship with my girlfriend was okay, but I felt extremely numb, disconnected from my loved ones, and like nothing mattered anymore. To make a long story short, I ended up cheating on my girlfriend with another girl I met in a class I had at college. The guilt that I felt afterwards was extremely intense. I debated for a long time about whether I should say something, as it had only been a one-time occurrence. I was afraid of losing her. Eventually, I decided to tell my girlfriend the truth, because I felt she deserved to know the truth, even if it meant we broke up. Over time, she decided to forgive me and that she wanted to work things out. I went to therapy and made an effort to address the reasons behind why I chose to cheat. We've now been together for just over three years. I can't guarantee that you'll get the outcome you want, but I can say that the truth truly does set you free. Always remember that you aren't your mistakes. Change is possible. Love always, A friend :)

Yes, you should. It will hurt, and you might break up; however, a relationship built on a false foundation will not last.

You probably should. Hiding it from him would be worse. If you cheated on him means you don´t really care about him.
