You are not a bad person. A poor action on your part does not define whether or not you are good as a person :) Although, please do not cheat on your partner. If there is something in your relationship that you are unhappy about, being honest is a good way to go about it (even if it is hard for you). I've been cheated on before and what cheating does is that it crushes your partner completely -- self-esteem, self value, confidence, trust... you name it. It makes them feel like they are the most hopeless thing in the world. I can feel a sense of guilt in your question and seeing that you asked this shows that you care for him/her. If you really care, please tell him/her about it and voice out your feelings

Communication is so important in relationships. If you girlfriend/boyfriend is okay with an open relationship, 'cheating' is okay. If not, it isn't. No one action will determine whether you're a 'bad' person or not. Humans are more complex than that.

Your not a bad person but you need to tell your partner and try not to hurt them. Good luck and don't beat yourself up to much, just be kind.

I think if you truly loved the person you are with you wouldn't cheat on them, but if you love someone else its better not to lead your boyfriend/girlfriend on

Of course not. We all make mistakes and we all can solve them. That's why they exist. Because they are making us be better people. You just need to consider it, firslty to forgive yourself, and then be honest with your boy/girl friend and express your feelings. Every nice person does a mistake in his/her life. And that's why he/she comes to be a better person in the future.

I just answered this. If you are cheating, it's not something that feels good, at least after the fact. If you don't have feelings of guilt. Then, you really need to focus on this issue and figure out what is going on with your emotions.

I think you need to consider two things here : 1) What is the need that is lacking in your present relationship? Or is it simply lack of control? 2) Can you accept the same from your bf/gf? About you being a bad person - thats a really long shot and not my place to judge you. I do think you need to ask yourself what you want actually. Something doesnt entirely feel right, doesnt it?

You are feeling worried that cheating makes you a bad person. One choice doesn't determine whether a person is good or bad. Why do you think you are feeling negatively?
