friends help: I think I cheated on my boyfriend. - Help.com

I think I cheated on my boyfriend.

Well, I know I did- I went out to a club, which I do about once every two weeks. Just finished with my exams and all of the stress and I wanted nothing more than to get drunk and dance with my friends. I’ve been with my boyfriend for two years, and I love him very much. He was the first person I kissed, only person I have kissed and had sex with, and I am happy in this relationship and so is he. We’ve obviously had our fights but neither of us has cheated on the other at all.

Anyway, one of my girlfriends who I went out with invited her male relative who brought along two male friends, who I’d never met. One of them was in a long term relationship, and near the end of the night I remember dancing closely with him and kissing him. I think we both felt guilty at the time even with all of that alcohol in our systems, as the kiss was only a peck on the lips twice. My good friend saw us dance closely, but I know she won’t say anything nor does she know my boyfriend or talk to mine and his group of friends.

Anyway, I feel pretty bad. I kind of just wanted to let that out, as I havn’t told anyone (not even the girl I was with saw us actually kiss)
If anyone has any thoughts to spare, that would help; even if you tell me I’m a bad person that would be better than nothing, as I don’t think I understand how I feel about what I did.

If you feel guilty explain to your other half, if he knows you well he will be able to tell yourob edge and know something’s up!

You know I quit drinking for this very reason. Alcohol makes you forget all your responsibilities. I wouldn’t want to be this person so I would quit drinking if I were you. I think it’s better to live sober, than drunk and a guilty mind.

Anyhow it happens. You love your boyfriend and if you were truly sorry you would quit drinking for your relationship. I told my boyfriend, well husband now, how alcohol made me, so he was happy with me quitting. I feel better about it because I thought I just had a wondering eye. Turns out that’s just me under the influence.

well being drunk is no excuse, how would you feel if he did something like that to you? And I think you should tell him the truth because these things can never stay hidden. Explain to him it was a mistake, a mistake that you now have to live up to. if you really care for him the way you make it seem then the only thing you should do is tell him, you owe him that much at least

also, i think you should stop drinking and tell him that your willing to stop drinking because obviously you can’t handle it. i’m not trying to be mean i’m just stating the truth, some people can not handle alcohol. If you continue to drink like that, it could happen again… or something more might even happen the next time

Two innocuous kisses does not a cheater make. You should still feel guilty but not about “cheating” because you didn’t.

i’m sorry but I have disagree @southern_comfort if you kiss another guy while your in a relationship, that’s treating. there’s nothing innocent about it. If it wasn’t cheating then why should she feel guilty about it? if it wasn’t a form of cheating then what the heck is it? It’s cheating no matter what, sorry not trying to be rude but your wrong. you wouldn’t think that way if the person you were in a relationship with went out and kissed someone else

Thanks for the advice everyone, I’ll stay in control next time and won’t let this happen again, but I don’t think I’ll fess up to my boyfriend. I would cause more problems than it’s worth. Thanks again.

Cool. If you say nothing and never do it again, I hope it works out for you, but from my experience a liar is always exposed. Or the relationship will be a bad one because it will always have this air of lies. I don’t know how to explain it, but I will try, the demons will not go away if you continue to feed them.

Sorry. I didn’t know there was another word for it. I thought I was pretty hip to today’s ling. Apparently not.

You’re much more honest than I am, thank you for your advice. :)

you’re not a bad person, geez, you went out, downloaded from the stress, got a warm fuzzy feeling and innocently, yet excitingly kissed a guy - ok, so now you had lust in your heart, or your loins - so what? You recognized it was wrong as to your relationship and now you know, don’t put your hand on the fire - it gets hot. Haha, relax, at least your radar button works - Now if you light that fire again, it means something else, :)

sorry I meant cheating but I can see that you must be too ignorant to understand this. I get it, some people just aren’t educated. You know it’s cheating, you’ve obviously done this in the past, your just too much of a coward to admit it. I bet any person you date will see it the same way. Don’t try to make it anything less then what it is. Think you can understand this or should I dumb it down more for you? I actually don’t know if I can or not, sorry. I’m using the simplest words I can think of. Get a dictionary if you can’t understand this… if you know how to use on that is :)

wow, hey, this is a help site. Non-judgment. So you mispelled and someone played on your word, don’t get bent out of shape, it’s all good. We’re here to share and care. Not tear down verbally. Although I like the word treating, instead of cheating - that’s about the size of it… but not in this case, :)
