Can you approach your partner and let them know about how you cheated on them?
Actually many partners don’t confess their affairs. It’s like what you don’t know won’t hurt you. Some may feel that being honest and coming clean about it causes more harm and damage than just being silent about it. A few may actually have a guilty conscience about it and are afraid to confess their wrong doings. Then, there are those who bluntly lie about it.
If you really love your partner and you have accepted your mistake and are really and truly sorry for it then you must tell your partner. Let the bad news come from you and nobody else. Hearts will be broke, trust will be broke, homes will be broken but if theres love there is nothing impossible to repair. Mistakes do happen, we are human. Forgiveness comes with time. Only the forgetting part will be a bit hard. For those that do cheat imagine how ur partner would feel . They have trusted you with their heart and love and devotion. If you have done it once Forgiveness is possible but if you do it again and again you might as well go for good. Never take ur partners for granted. Trust, honesty and love are what build strong relationships.
If it was a one time thing and you feel terrible about it, yes. The thing is, it always comes out. Maybe not this month, maybe not this year, maybe 8 years from now. But it always comes out. If spouse finds out, then there is no trust at all. You didn’t come to them. You were trying to keep a secret. Memories of affair partner. You still have feelings for them. At least if you come clean, it shows humility and accountability. It also shows how sorry you are and that you want to stay with your spouse. It shows hints of integrity for a terrible, hurtful, disrespectful choice that you made involving spouses life without their permission.
