How do you know this guy wasn't out cheating on his partner that night too?

Sometimes being in a long term relationship can start to feel dull and stale. A new relationship is exciting and brings out the nerves and butterflies. So you are not really comparing like with like. What you need to do first is get yourself checked out for STDs. We all make mistakes, but the results can be devastating. Next, I assume you and your b f intended to be in an exclusive relationship, so you owe it to him to honour that or get out. Drunkeness is an excuse but not a reason for unfaithfulness. If you live with your b f you - presumably - phoned and gave some excuse as to why you weren't going home which make your actions a decision rather than 'just something that happened'. If you don't live with him then maybe your commitment is not that strong so perhaps you will both be better off apart. I have to add that I find it odd that you assume that the guy you slept with will want to be with you. Are you sure that it wasn't just a one night thing for him - what do you actually know about him. Are you being seduced by the newness and excitement of a new affair. The love that grows over time is very different to the rush felt in a new fling. Are you willing to risk one for the other. Maybe you should try being by yourself for a bit to decide what it is that you actually want. Lastly there is nothing morally wrong with a string of one night stands, but only if you are single, not hurting anyone AND taking precautions against STDs as well as pregnancy.

Are you serious??? you've got to be, no offense but you cheated on your boyfriend.. relationships are built on trust, and if you can just go out get drunk and have random encounters, just because you were feeling the affects of your drinks for the night. Where is the faith that he put in you?, where is the loyalty that you as a woman have for your significant other? So many women wonder why males view them as whores, or sluts. Well its actions like this that opens the door for you to be called that. Don't think I'm picking on you, because guys can be the same way. Just know that what goes around comes around. How much can you possibly think this new guy will ever trust you if say, you guys did hook up, If the night when he met you, you were in a relationship and still slept with him? NONE....

wow well reading this all i could think about is me... i have found myself in the same situation. the other man i was with though was my x boyfriend and my bf and i were having problems. but my advice would be one, tell him the truth it may solve your problem and it may not. But if you were in the situation you would want to know. second talk to that guy find out what he feels about you. because you don't want to end it with your boyfriend to find out this guy was just their for a one night stand. three you can always tell your bf you need to take a break, i have always found that by doing that you can sort out how you feel without hurting the other person. but if you decide to take a break i would wait to tell your boyfriend, because then if you really feel like it's over their will be no hard feelings. good luck and i hope you make the right decision.

I think you should ask this guy if he feels the same way and tell your boyfriend how your feeling. It is not fair to carry on the relationship if you have stronger feelings for someone else. The longer you leave it the worse it will get. Your boyfriend deserves to be told the truth after the years you have spent together. How would you feel if the shoe was on the other foot, and he wasn't being honest with you?

i think the first thing you should do is tell your boyfriend what happened. If he leaves you cuz of it you have nothing to lose then you can date that other guy and you will feel better cuz you came clean. And if he doesnt leave you then that shows he really loves you and is willing to stick it out with you no matter what and not a lot of guys will do that. Plus you will still feel better about it cuz you came clean and got it off your chest.
