He cheated. Should he confess?
As someone interested in the dynamics of love and relationships, I sometimes get sucked into the oddest conversations and debates. The following is an example of just that. I have my opinion about the following scenerio, but what do you think is the right thing for this guy to do?
Scenario: A man has been in a romantic relationship with a woman for about one year. The relationship is going well, companionship has been achieved, but there is a noticeable lack of excitement and desire in the relationship. It feels as though the relationship has become stale and both partners would agree that they need to find a way to rejuvenate and add excitement to the relationship. The man then goes out to a party and meets a girl that sexually interests him and he rationalizes that the relationship he currently in is not meeting his needs and will need some work in order to rekindle the desire. After a few drinks, rationale leaves his mind; he throws in the towel and has a sexual affair believing regardless of that night he would be breaking up with the girlfriend in the future. He believes she will never find out.
Given that he is going to break up with her anyway, does he confess to cheating?
Please vote and/or add a comment below. Like I say, I have my opinion, and frankly got into a long winded debated about the subject but I don’t want to bias the initial comments. I’d love to hear what you think, especially if you have a “it depends” type answer.
