It was just so tempting and I regret it. Can I just keep it to myself and never tell him? I don’t want to hurt him. What should I do now?

  • If you cheated without condom you would expose him to STDs risk without his consent, which classifies as physical violence to me, so that would be enough of a reason to tell him and break up.
    If you used a condom you "can" keep it hidden although the relationship is in fact destroyed, and if so you should quit any contact of any sort with that other guy, because sooner or later the truth comes back, always, and the more you leave traces around the sooner it will happen.
    That is anyway very morally deplorable, you could have fixed your relationship if it was not satisfying, or broken with him if it was making you feel limited, before opening yourself to other guys. That is a matter of bearing really minimal responsibility.

  • You will either have to live with your guilt, or confess. It might be best to confess, and move on, for both of you.

    Living with your guilt, guilt of any kind not just cheating guilt can make a person not have guilt for other things in the future. Not strictly cheating, do you want to become a sociopath (or whatever they are called) where you never feel guilt no matter what kind of bad things you do?

    If you are okay with the guilt, then by all means don't tell him but realize there is downsides to it over time.

    You might simply not want to be in a monogamous relationship. I am the first to admit that I am not ready for it personally, which is why I turn guys down, you should try being single for a time or maybe do a friends with benefits with the other guy you couldn't resist after ending your current relationship.

Most Helpful Guys

  • If you know for sure that there's absolutely no trail that will get back to your boyfriend then keep it a secret.

    Fyi did you use a condom? If not then take a pregnancy test if you are not on any birth control, also before you haven't used any birth control and you don't know this one night stand guy then get a STD check before you sleep with your boyfriend.

  • No, it sounds as if you've betrayed your relationship mate. They need to know the truth, that you are a liar and a cheat and you are nasty and have no loyalty, honor or character.

    They deserve to know the truth and to be able to end it and get you out of their lives.

What Girls & Guys Said

  • Did you enjoy the sex? If you did but you still love your boyfriend, you shouldn't confess anything and keep meeting the other guy.

    • That's hot Would u do the same thing?

  • You should first post it on Facebook, then show short videos of it on Tic Tok and finally see if you couldn't get yourself a spot telling all on a tv talk show.

  • Confess. Don’t hide it from him, that’s even worse. There’s no point in maintaining a monogamous relationship if you can’t control yourself. Let the relationship end and let him find someone who will actually love and respect him instead of cheating on him.

  • You must come clean.

    Please tell the truth.

    You're too young to live a life of deceit & lies.

  • How downright pathetic and stupid can you be... Just be completely open and honest and then await the consequences. smh

    • Babe you miss this time in finding troll...😘

    • @savagewolf22 Oh please don't get me wrong as I realised this from the very beginning. It's just that I've become sick to death in receiving the usual pathetic generically produced crap from the "Gold Cap Brigade" informing me that I've upset the "apple cart" yet again!

    • 😂😂😂

  • He deserves to know and decide for himself what he wants to do next. Let him have freedom of choice. I believe you would also like to know if he did that

  • Don't tell him. No point in damaging your relationship... for what? If you feel 'guilty' ... to 'unload' on him to relieve your guilt will do MORE damage.

    Forget it.

  • You should break his heart and open his eyes to the reality that not all women deserve his to be treated like a lady. Instead, they, like yourselves, fall into the catagory of hit it and quit it

  • If it's truly a one off mistake and you think you can get past the guilt and it will never come out, bury it and move on.

  • I tell my SO to have sex with whomever she wants, just don't make it a point to tell me.

  • Oh man! You made a mistake. It happens. Don't say anything and don't let it happened again

  • If you really want to not hurt him, tell him. It's better you fess up, than for him to find out from someone else.

  • It's always best to tell the person rather than live with the guilt.

  • Confess what you did to him. The guilt will be much easier to deal with and you can begin to heal.

    As for your boyfriend, prepare for him to be hurt and accept it if the relationship ends.

  • It wilmguet him more of he finds out from someone else, and since he might, you should tell him. Also tell him you regret it

  • Personally it's none of his business. If you go out and have a relationship. If you do tell him he'll create bigger problems.

  • If you want your relationship to be over, tell him. I would encourage you not to say anything and never cheat again. Put yourself in his position, would you like it, how would that make you feel? Out of curiosity, why did you do it? Perhaps there is something missing in your relationship that provoked you.

  • Just don't tell him.

  • yes but never cheat again cuz he gonna leave u if u tell him

  • Be honest and leave him alone

    You dont deserve him
