What do I tell my girlfriend when I technically "cheated" on her?

If you loved her you wouldn't have cheated on her. Be real to yourself. There's nothing "technical" about it. You put your piece in someone else. The solution is simple:Tell her you cheated on her, it'll hurt her worse if she hears it from Cindy. You know if one of my friends came to me and told me they slept with another friend's guy, I'd make her tell that friend instead of playing middle person. You got yourself in a sticky situation and could be burning a few bridges here. Just let it go and move on with your life. Hope you learn from this experience how cheating screws things up. And make sure you tell your girl that you love so much that it's not her fault that you cheated on her because this is going to mess up her self esteem for years and possibly ruin future relationships for her and give her major trust issues. I hope this other girl had a crotch made of gold for this to really be worth all that. Good luck.

Girls love honesty, of course we don't like hearing how the guy we're with cheated on us, but knowing that he was willing to tell us himself before anyone else gives him some points in recognition of honest. Sit down and talk to her say "hey Cindy, I do love you, and I did make a mistake with another woman, I know it was a mistake and I can't take it back, but I'm hoping one day you'll be able to take my mistake and help me get through it with you by my side"

Without a doubt tell her before someone else does. Hearing it from you may crush her but can you imagine how hurt she will be if she hears it from someone else first? And not to be harsh or anything but you didn't "technically" cheat on her--- you DID cheat on her. Just take responsibility for your actions, admit you made a mistake and hope that she will forgive you. Otherwise your f***ed.

Tell her cause it'll be a chip off your shoulder and you want to always keep honesty in a relationship. She may or may not forgive but that is not what you need to worry about right now. You need to do the right thing cause if you never tell her and she has to find out from somehow else, you'll get the heat of it 10 times worst. On the other hand, if you love her, why did you wan to go to someone else? Was she not enough? Not totally happy? I don't understand how you say you love someone but share intimacy with someone else you don't love? Ok. Its sex but the one you love isn't satisfying that?

Dude . Don't wanna sound bad but don't fool yourself . You slept with her willingly, she didn't do any woo doo ! So, tell your girlfriend the truth . Let her know that you made a mistake, and you love her and won't happen again ! As we hope so ! ;P jj . Anyways, take responsibility .

Tell you the truth you should tell her. I know it will hurt her but can you live with your self if you don't. And Cindy should not have to keep a secret. Like that. Good luck and god speed

You have really dug yourself into a shit hole.
You basically just went with this other woman for sex.
Should you tell her? I can't really believe you'd ask this sort of thing.
You already f***ed up once by cheating, are you really gonna go and kill two birds with one stone and f*** up AGAIN by not telling her?
Tell her. Immediately.
If you love your girl as you so claimed to, then why did you cheat?
I'm sorry for bashing, but it's because guys like YOU that the whole female population views us as cur who go after one thing and one thing only - sex.

You've got to accept responsibility for your actions. Be honest with your girlfriend, tell her what happened, and be ready to accept the consequences of your actions.

As for convincing "Cindy" not to tell, good luck with that. Sooner or later the truth will come out and I think it is better if it happens sooner and from you, rather than later and from Cindy or another stranger. You've got an uphill battle and if your girl finds out from someone else it just adds insult to injury and I don't even want to think of the consequences if she finds out that you tried to cover it up.

I think that you need to pull your head out of your butt and stop cheating. You might get to actually keep the girlfriend you have, that is if she is stupid. I should ask you the question, do you have enough morals to actually tell her or were you just going to tell her because she is going to find out anyway. Don't take this personally because I don't know you, but your actions is what gives guys the bad rap that they have.
