The topic is pretty much self explanatory. But I want to go a bit further and ask, if you would tell your partner that you cheated, why would you do so? And if you wouldn't tell your partner, again, why would you do so?

As for me, not that I plan to cheated when I'm in a fully comitted relationship(i.e, marriage) but if it ever does happen, I would refrain from telling my partner because well, what you don't know won't hurt you. It sounds a bit selfish but if you knew that the affair was just a one time mistake then I see no reason to open Pandora's box.

So what would you do? Discuss.

It would certainly depend on whom I cheated with, and how it happened. This topic is way too complicated to answer with a yes/no.

I would never cheat.

However, if someone kissed me or something like that I would tell him.

I wouldn't be that stupid to begin with. But if its just some flirting or a small kiss, then I probably would tell her.

I have once before when I was extremely drunk and I told her as soon as I sobered up. I knew something happened between me and two other girls but I didn't know what until friends of mine told me. Kind of wish they didn't. Needless to say she broke up with me. Took me a long time to forgive myself honestly.

lmao you guys don't know women. You tell her and it's over. no exceptions.

There's no merit to honesty after committing adultery. She's never going to trust again. And even if she did manage to stick with you, she'll be all paranoid and sh!t. Forget about it, if she has no way of finding out then you keep it to yourself otherwise you might as well break up.

I dunno. If I equate a simple mistake to sticking my penis in another woman I'd have to accept that I was a piss poor excuse for a man. I mean if not committed then go and breed as many as you want. So I guess the answer is no. Not like at that point i'd have to worry about personal integrity or anything.

Yeah, I'd tell her; even though it would probably end in my getting dumped. I'd feel really guilty if I didn't.

... but I would't cheat on her.

In the very early/late stages of a hypothetical relationship where commitment is weak I'd feel less inclined to tell her.

Pretty much, it's personal guilt. If you can't own up to your mistakes in a mature manner, even if the immediate consequences are worse than just letting slide for awhile, then why call yourself a man?

Don't speak in absolutes. My dad cheated on my mom and had a child. But she did end up forgiving him (for the most part) and marrying him. Although, having 2 children at the time might have been a factor as to why she didn't leave. Regardless, right now they're pretty much your normal married couple.

I would never cheat, ever. I've always had this mindset. I've always felt that if I had strong feelings for someone else, I would end my current relationship before acting on them. I'm married now, so there's no chance of "break up" now... well, there's death. But, hypothetically... I would definitely. Hopefully sooner rather than later too. Something like this means you're living a lie, and it would require many more lies to cover it up. So, the longer you go without confessing, the more lies you've told to keep yourself out of trouble with your guy or gal. Things like this come out eventually anyway. Just ask Tiger Woods. The guy had all the money in the world to keep his affairs secret, but because he was in it so deep he forgot which way was up. We all know what happened next.

Even aside from the personal integrity bit you're still going to likely face the consenquences someday. Why delay it? If she stays with you or leaves you that day then she will do the same later. So waste a few years and then have it end? Get it over with so you and her can move on with your lives.

I would never do that because even the thought makes me sick, but for the sake of answering the question, yes. Absolutely I would tell him. I don't keep secrets from him, I am completely honest and would feel like scum not telling him, one-time mistake or not. I could never allow him to commit another day, week, month, year or eternity to me if I had done something that may or may not change how he feels about me completely. I would not want to marry somebody who thinks I'm better than I actually am. I'm not gonna tell him every minute thing, like that I didn't like the color of paint he chose, or that I was indeed the one that ate the last slice of pizza, but anything serious is out on the table no questions asked. Honesty is how I roll. I wouldn't cheat ever, but if I did ANYTHING I feel he might reassess our relationship over, he'll know about it.

If asked or caught, yes.

Otherwise, I'd keep my mouth shut.

But that's provided I even cheated in the first place. It would have to be REALLY worth it.

No. Sometimes it's better if they don't know, especially if you love them and it was just an accident. The whole thing though is very complex. It just evolves a lot of thought, both emotional and logical. However, the most important decision is not to do it in the first place.

I heard this once "After 40 years of age, those who have never been unfaithful need surgical help, because it is very probable that they have become someone's appendix: a person who will even have problems knowing how they feel if their partner doesn't clarify it for them first. In other words: a handicapped person."

A bit absurd for cheating. "Hey what are you in for?" - "Cheating on my wife." :|

If it was like one night stand or while drunk or something like that I prefer not to know. Now if she's having a relationship and doesn't want to be with me anymore then I'd rather know of course.

Very situational.

I voted no though.
