Whats done is done. You know better now.  So go and do better. Dont beat yourself up as long as you take the steps to do whats right. You know yourself and just know people make mistakes. You will be fine.

I don't think you really love someone if you can cheat on them! if you really loved this woman you are about to marry, you wouldn't have done it. my advice, tell her, so she can dump your sorry cheating a**.

Well if the person who cheated was very very sorry and the person who was cheated was very hurt but still decided to give one last chance then it could be true love. But if the person who cheated just said 'sorry' and the person who was cheated said 'no problem' then they don't care about you!

I don't think complicating things would be a good idea. Though if you really love her and feel that you have to express it. Then you could tell her. I mean, that's not going to ruin their relationship. You're just trying to be honest. You're feelings are also valid.

Honestly, if you truly had a deep love for her, I don't think you would have cheated.  If the bond is weak enough that you both felt the need to stray, I'd have serious doubts about giving it another go...unless you both were willing to work hard to discover what caused these problems to begin with and were willing to work to resolve them.

Yes, but it takes time and a huge commitment on both sides to make it happen!\n\nIf the person who cheated is willing to rebuild the trust they destroyed and the one cheated on is willing to work on forgiveness, than it is possible.  Difficult, but possible!

When you start to love a person part of that person starts to grow inside you. As the years go on more and more you find yourself falling deeper in love with that person because they continue to grow in your heart and your soul. Since you are in love with this person, in a sense you do need them. You've based a certain part of yourself around that person and now since they are gone, the part of yourself that they had is lost. So you need to find something else to fill that void and emptiness that that person has left and you need to try and move on. It is hard yes, extremely hard, absolutely, but in the end it's worth coming out on the other side.

No. I am in a great relationship and we both believe in exclusivity. I love him too much to cheat and I think he feels the same.

Yeah, tell her the truth. The truth will set you free, as they say. Tell her exactly what you said here, that you love her so much that you don't want to involve her. If you can't bring yourself to tell her what it is that happened, just tell her she will be at risk if you did. Wow, I feel for you, best of luck, I hope your problems will be solved soon.

Nope, I've never cheated. I think it's not the right thing to do. You should just break up instead of just cheating on them...

People cheat because they have a lack of self control.  If you know that something is wrong, and you do it anyway, then you are showing an amazing lack of self control, and your immaturity is showing as well.  It takes strength realize the truth.  A person does not have to cheat.  You simply tell your significant other "I don't love you enough to respect your feelings, or care if I hurt you."  Then leave them.  Because that is the exact message you are telling them when you cheat.  You are just too chicken to tell them to their face.

No. Telling him will only make you feel better and\nmake him feel betrayed. Keep your mouth shut and if\nyou love him, never never never do anything like that again. If you don't love him enough to be true\nleave him and let him find someone who does. Life is\nshort. There is no time to waste with people who do\nnot care about you.

I think you should tell her right away. She'll be more likely to forgive you, since you didn't try and keep it a secret from her. I personally hate secrets, I htink we should lay them out in the open. Tell her you're really sorry, too. You shouldn't have cheated in the first place.

it is hard to leave someone, especially if u love them in return. but as he has cheated, it is likely he will do it again. saying "i love you" might be just his way of making you forget what happened. you should move on. you need to think of yourself, not him, because he obviously was not thinking of you when he cheated. this is just my opinion, so dont take it to heart. if you want to talk more contact me by going to my profile.

Cheating means that you deceive someone you love (hopefully love anyway). If you do it openly they have the option to kick your butt, join in or leave you alone with your new find.\n\nNot telling them is just a cowardly way of lying. Postponing the truth and hoping it won't be found out.
