I cheated on my boyfriend, should I tell him?
I am so confused at the moment. I have had a year of self destruction and its getting to the point where I'm not sure if I can carry on. In May I got together with a man who is so wonderful, entertaining and warm. I had never met someone as amazing as him. And we had an amazing time together.
The only trouble was that I went away a month after we first got together. Things were OK at first, about one month into my travels I officialised things with him.. I think this was my biggest mistake. After 2 months of not seeing him he began to feel like a distant dream.About 2 weeks before he came out to visit me (something he had booked during month 1) when I was drunk I slept with 2 people (not at the same time! But within 2 weeks of each other)I felt awful and terrible. It was the biggest mistake(s) I've ever made and I know how it must seem to you readers - that I didn't care about my boyfriend. But I ahd a HUGE problem on my hands and the lack of communication meant that telling him woud be either be very crass via email or very public via skype in a busy internet café. I decided that as he had booked his flight that I wouldn't tell him. He came and we had an amazing time. Im not sure how I didn't think about what I had done.
I am still with him now, and love him more than anything. Our relationship has developed and I can truly say that I have never met anyone like him. He is absolutely amazing. We live in different cities and see each other once a fortnight.
But I have really complicated things and cheated on him again, 6 weeks ago.
This time there are no excuses. But I cannot decide whether I should tell him or not. I think that I am in more pain by not telling him and see that as a punishment. But also understand that losing him is the ultimate punishment especially as I love him so much. I can't explain why I did this. Especially to someone who seems so perfect for me.
Help!
