my bf decided he wanted a break for a while following a big row we had. i slept with someone else in the time we were apart and the next day he decided he wanted to try again. i didnt tell him about this other person because part of me feels as we were on a break, its irrelevant but im finding it hard not to think about it.

Sleeping with this other person only made me feel more in love with my bf tho. a mate has told me that i have no reason to tell him but im not sure if she is right...

Your mate is right, you don't have to tell your boyfriend that you slept with someone while you were on a break. You were on a break from the relationship so forget it and move on.

technically yes you were on a brake and have no reason to tell him. but to a man a brake is still a relationship but just time apart. therefor he sees it as cheating.

i like how women always ask if theres a chance hell find out, somehow making it ok if he doesnt?

all good relationships are built on honesty and communication, secrets and lies eventually chip away. just explain yourself, be honest and hope he appreciates it

cd206 agony auntI'm as torn as you are about this. Even though I think cheating is never right, I do feel you're genuinely sorry that this has happened and that your guilt is punishment enough for you. Is there any way your boyfriend will find out if you don't tell him? If not then I say you shouldn't. You've acknowledged your mistake and said it will never happen again. I think if you were to tell him it'd tear your relationship apart. If you think someone else might tell him however it'll be much better coming from you than from them so you might want to change your tack.
