It's pretty complicated. I have this friend and she's visiting from her home in America. She lives there now, just moved there last year. She is my ex girlfriend, we mutually broke up and remained friendly then she moved away. She came to Canada yesterday and we went for dinner today. After dinner we took the bus to the place she's staying and the rest is history.

This wouldn't mean anything except I have a girlfriend who I love very much but this girl came on so strong and I didn't want to ruin her time up here, I hadn't seen her for a long time and I never told her about my current relationship. What's done is done but I don't know what to do. The girl I cheated with is going home in a couple of days and I'm seeing her again tomorrow, my girlfriend is away for the weekend.

Should I tell my girlfriend? Should I tell this girl I have a girlfriend or should I just hide it. I've NEVER had relationship trouble but I don't wanna ask my friends cause they might blab. I think this is best suited for OT. Do your stuff. Halp.

Man up. Telling her "no" wouldn't have "ruined her time there;" simply explaining that you have a girlfriend would have sufficed, but you took the irresponsible route. Either tell one of them about the other girl or tell them both; it only gets worse otherwise.

If you want to keep your girlfriend, don't tell anyone you know about this, and sweep it under the rug. She WILL NOT understand, especially if she has any sense. What you did is wrong, in every sense of the word. Be ashamed.

You dont have to tell your current girlfriend, just keep it between you and your ex, or you can be honest about it and see what happens.

Tell your girlfriend it's always better to be truthful, cause it will come back to haunt you sooner or later. If she dumps you, you deserved it.

I'm not going to question your love for your girlfriend, but seriously, that's unacceptable. I've been in the same situations these past couple months. I'm in a long-distance relationship with my girlfriend. She's in Illinois, and I'm stuck in California until July. I've had about 5 chances to cheat on her, and I didn't. Why? Because I want to spend the rest of my life with this woman. Yeah, the pressure was there, and 2 of the times were with ex-girlfriends, but I resisted, and just went back to my room and solo'd it for the night.

Either way, you're screwed. If you don't tell her, the guilt will surely eat you alive, and keep you depressed. If you tell her, she probably won't forgive you, and rightfully so. She may continue the relationship, but it'd be extremely awkward IMO. I suggest you tell her now, instead of thinking about it. Because days will turn into years, and I'm sure you'll tell her eventually.

That's a pretty low thing to do. It may have been uncomfortable to tell her your in a relationship, but it would have passed shortly after she left. Now you have to man-up and tell your girlfriend. Don't be a piece of **** about it. How would you react if your girlfriend told you she had cheated on you? Or if you found out from someone else or later down the line?

Imagine how you would feel if your GF did that to you. I know it's a cliche but just consider it.

You should tell her, but if she has any self respect she will STRONGLY consider losing you fast.

You have to tell your girlfriend. If you get married, and she finds out about it, it could lead to a divorce, because she'll suspect that you do it all the time. She might forgive you, if she doesn't then you could at least try and get back with the ex girlfriend, since you clearly have feelings for her still.

If you love her as much as you say you do, then you will tell her. There is no other way out--if you care for her feelings so much, then you will not cover up what has happened.

in my experience which is far from normal:

1. Never tell a girl your slept w/ you have a girl friend. They will almost always rat you out somehow if possible.

2. If she loves you she'll never believe it unless you say it, or you're caught red handed. So if you're going to stick to a lie stick to it.

3. Once a cheater always a cheater. Given the chance you'll do it again even w/ all the guilt.

Now on to my rant about telling her or not. Personally I'm a big fan of keeping secrets. The weird thing is those that are telling you to tell her the truth are actually being cruel, and selfish. The most common response is to tell the truth to make YOU feel better. Most of them haven't even considered her feelings, and how having her trust broken with affect her. As long as the lie isn't hurting her there's really nothing wrong with it. Of course if you continue your cheating ways she'll eventually find out, and she'll be hurt, and you'll still be a liar.

Personally I already know I'm taking a lot of things to the grave so keeping secrets from the people I live isn't a hard choice for me.

If you are certain she won't find out, you know you made a mistake and won't do it again and want to keep her, don't tell her.

Imo, screw the "you don't deserver her, tell her and break up" comments. We all make mistakes. If you aknowledge them and learn from them then good. Now if you do it again, then thats a different story.

EDIT: If you want, forget what I said. jrhawk42 said what I wanted to but a lot better.

Question: Is it wrong of him to dump his girlfriend? Or should the person that was cheated on do that. I would argue the latter as the former might make the girl feel she did something wrong. Either way, that relationship is over.

Funny, I feel the exact opposite. People who would keep such a secret only for their own well-being are more selfish than anything. When I tell him to confess his cheating ways to his girlfriend, I would want to see the girlfriend choosing whether to stay with him or not, which is definiately not being selfish.

I dissagree, colpletely.

It all depends on how the cheater handles it and to a lesser extend the person he/she slept with.

Nah... I mean, don't **** the ex again, if you love your girl you shouldn't be cheating on her. But if you tell her it's probably gonna cause a lot more problems for your relationship... I doubt you "love" her THAT much if you cheated on her in the first place, so that brings up the idea that you're not THAT close to each other, which brings up the idea that she may have cheated on you if she was in that situation, which ends with the conclusion that you probably shouldn't tell her.

Confessing leads a great pain for the non-cheater, keeping it a seecret only encumbers the cheater. I don't see how thats selfish and confessing is not.

It's opposing viewpoints, if anything. You and many others may see it as a better choice to keep it secret while I and many others feel that the girl has the right to be told about her boyfriend's activities so she's not "living a lie."

I guess we can only agree to disagree on this matter.

From my experience, not being told about the cheating hurts more than being told. I've been cheated on five times. :| I'd rather be told the truth than a lie. So really, keeping the secret is more selfish than telling the truth. It might hurt being told the truth, but it will hurt more if she finds out later that he cheated on her and didn't tell her the truth. Being told a lie and finding out the truth later on hurts more.

What you did was dumb, but that doesn't make you a bad person like alot of these people are saying.

Also, in a sucessful relationship honesty is KEY. What your going to have to do is VERY hard, but I believe it's necessary if you really love her.
