For some reasons, we find ourselves cheating on the ones we love. This could make us feel guilty and unable to sleep. Would it be better if we tell them? So here goes my question: If you cheated n your partner, would you tell him/her? Why/why not?

I think if you ever at stuck in such a situation, the best thing will be to dare and come forward to tell the truth to your loved one you cheated on. Promise him/her that you'll never ever do it again and STICK TO YOUR WORDS for all your life! I don't know what I am going to do if such a situation arises in front of me. I'll definitely try to go with truth, but somewhere inside, I know I'll be afraid of losing the one I love. The best thing is to avoid such a situation and be loyal to all my relationships!

That's the thing. There's a high probability that you'll lose this person. What if we change the situation, would you want your significant other to tell you honestly if she/he has cheated on you? Would you be able to accept it?

YES, I will. If I get a true and genuine promise that it will never happen again. On the other hand, if she does not have love for me, and wants to go with someone else, I will happily let her do it.

Isn't that tough and quite embarrassing especially for men. Well, they say if you love someone, set him free.

I would certainly not tell him. I believe that men are really unfair sometimes, they can do it but its a big big deal if girls will do it as well! Its a big insult to men and it could hurt them that much. So if I have cheated on him I will never tell him besides why cheat if you will just feel the guilt right? Don't ever try something that you will regret at the end.

You are right. Men would think it's okay for them to cheat yet it'll hurt their ego deeply if they had been cheated on.

Never do this if u do this then never tell to ur partner coz it will create a great difference inbetween u and ur spouse..So try to never do..And if u have done try to improve u in future but dont tell to ur spouse it is really harmfull.

I never try to cheat on my husband even from the start but sometimes I can't stop my self on having crushes specially on some celebrity. I always tell to my husband when I have a crush to someone and he also tell me who is his crush. Its okay for both of us as long we don't get involve in any third party relationship. I experienced to be cheated before by my ex boyfriend and I don't want to do that to my husband.
