Cheating is considered unpardonable. Everybody takes cheating by the partner very seriously. But most of us cheat at one or the other time -if not physically then emotionally. What if you cheated on your partner in a momentary lapse and are now very much regretting it. Should you tell your partner or not?
Love Can Not Be Lost-
You are worried that if you tell your partner, you may loose the relationship and the love forever. But you cannot afford to loose the love. You love your partner very much and the thought of staying separately frightens you. You do not want to take any risk with your love. If you tell your partner about your cheating, you may lose that love.
Love And Lies Can Not Stay Together-
If we love deeply then our relationship is always very open. We are so open and hones with each other that forget physical cheating, we do not even think about emotional cheating.
Once we decide to hide our cheating we go into mental trauma. We are always thinking about the cheating and not telling. Along with that we are worried about getting caught. This torture of emotions affects our love and our partner will sense that something is amiss. The relationship will suffer.
In both the alternatives, the relationship stands to suffer because the deed has been done. What do you think is the better alternative? You will tell your partner or hide?

By: rodray | 18-07-2008
I have lived a great life, came from a wonderful family background, attended college, held respectable jobs. I now feel that I'm being punished. My now immediate family show me no respect. As a man, you try to raise your children a certain positive way. I get no support in administering the proper values that I have come to know. Now here's my problem: should I walk away from the situation or should I continue to suffer. Someone, please give me some insight; I'll elaborate more upon your request. Thanks!
Needy husband..
By: justm | 14-07-2008
Needy husband.. My husband is very needy and I have recently found out he is posting personals ads to "find someone to talk to". He says there is no intent on cheating. I came upon a few of his responses when I was fixing his computer and he refers to me in each one. This is the 2nd time he has done it in our 6 years of marriage. In 2005 he had a personals ad for a week, before he ?realized that it wasn?t worth losing his wife?. Then in June of this year he had some games on Facebook, do you want me, do you think I am attractive?rate me. I found out and he apologized said he was just doing it to find someone to talk to. I am not a needy person and I don't know how to deal with him. He would be extremely happy if it was just him, the kids and I, if I didn't have my close group of friends. I on the other hand, need to get away, need some time for myself with my friends. I love him but this newest thing has me really worried that he may start cheating. He says he won't, it never crossed his mind, but why does he need female friends who will listen? He has one friend whom I detest because I know she is after him, all the signs are there and I told him I didn't like her or want her around, so he has gone to seeing her behind my back. He says he does the facebook and myspace stuff because he likes the attention. I feel like he expects me to dote over him every second of the day, and it?s just not possible for me. I have a family, work, and school to deal with too. I actually asked him if he is so miserable with me, why does he stay married to me and his response?because I love you more than life itself. If he loves me, why would he do this? I really want to get past this but I was blindsided by all this, I thought we were happily married. What can I do to help him, to help our marriage? I really do love him.

Is he cheating?
By: concerned | 13-07-2008
My boyfriend is always accusing me of cheating on him and not being at home when i say that i am going there. he is always starting fights and telling me that i dont really love him that i am just playing him. and when he starts these fights he always ends up telling me to go home and then telling me that i am not really at home when i am. then if i try and call him he ignores my calls and texts but will say that he "didn't hear his phone or that the text didn't come thru until hours later". and for days he will still ignore my calls and only call me about the time i get out of work just to find out where i am at but anyother time he wants to have nothing to do with me until he wants something or wants to know something. he always knows where i am at all the time..and the majority of the time i am at his house if i am not at work unless he tells me to go home. but when he goes places its i have things to take care of or i have errands i have to run....Could all this be signs that he is cheating?
