this is long but please read: so to break it down to make this short as possible, i recently went on vacation w my bf and his family and i cheat on him with his cousin. really messed up, i know. please dont say anything mean. i dunno, me and him just started hanging out alot bc my bf had to do stuff while i was there so there was no one else to hang with but i mean all we did was make out but thats still cheating and i really do love my bf and he loves me and i would never want to hurt him which is why i cannot explain why i did what i did, but point is, i dont know what to do. i have a horrible feeling in my stomach when i think about what i did and i want to tell him but that would do nothing but hurt him and ruin things between us and i dont want anything to go on. i mean i want to tell him at some point but i dont know if i should. cuz in a way, thats being selfish. im trying to make my self feel better by telling him but im actually hurting him. please help, what should i do?

things like that happen, because you love the attention your getting. well thats how it was with me. you have to tell him. its selfish if you dont. just think about how it would be if he cheated on you with your cousin and he didnt tell you. i mean what if he finds out? then its OVER. trust me. you have to tell him and i know its going to be hard but if he really loves you he might give you another chance. but dont expect anything good, because like obviously (reallyyy no offence!), what you did was really bad, and hes going to say that you dont deserve to get another chance for what happened. just make him understand that your sorry and that you regret it. im really sorry that all that happened, but stay strong. you can write me and tell me what happens, and ill help you some more. i kinda cheated before but i was with the guy for like 4 days and i was at a club. but i never told him, because he was annoying and i didnt really know him and he was a jerk. but things like that are not AS big of a deal if you were with them for a short time. if youve been with him for a long time, then he might give you another chance a little later, so dont move on, and whatever you do, dont go and get with im cousin again, because that will make things A LOT worse. sorry this was longgg hahah. but i really hope everything works out. but really, be honest, because if you dont have honesty in a relationship, then the relationship doesnt exist.
