Question

Would you tell your partner if you kissed someone else but regretted it later.

This is 50/50. You need to  ask yourself exactly why  want to tell your partner. Yes it’s the first stage of cheating but it could have been a lot worse. But do you want to tell them to alleviate your own guilt (which is actually  very selfish ) or do want to tell them because you want to be fair to them? Sounds to me you that alleviating your guilt is your top reason.  I recommend not telling them but confessing the truth if they do ask. Reason being your partner could likely assume you did much worse. They definitely will lose trust in you. And that guilt is your punishment for that. Just don’t let it happen again.  Also cut off all communication and interaction with the person you did this with. Avoid them at all costs. Block them on social media and elsewhere.

I totally and utterly hate the idea of being unfaithful IRL. If its in your mind, its once thing, but don't let it go further. You want your relationship to be based on trust and hidding the kiss, no matter your feelings afterwards, should be brought up and discussed. Your partner will hopefully forgive you, although it may take time, and you can grow stronger from there on.

Why mess up a relationship with a one-time goof-up because you were drunk, giddy or overwhelmed with emotion?

Just file your regret and guilt away in the "Don't Tell" section. It won't do either of you any good. Go to confession or see a therapist to work through such stuff. Loose lips sink ships..

Unless parents/family member where it's basically ingrained as the social norm, you should always tell your partner.  otherwise you're just a piece of shit who hides things from your partner.

OlderAndWiser · Answer

I've been dating and in relationships for the past 50 years and have never been unfaithful to a partner - not even simply kissing any other girl. I can't contemplate doing that.

AviatorTom · Answer

No. That's unnecessary and might lead to an argument. Put it in the past... where it belongs.

Sparkie460 · Answer

If I kiss another woman it would be on her cheek and I would tell my wife

sawno · Answer

Yes, she deserves to know my misstep and judge me for it. Its the only way I can maintain a relationship based on truth.

Account · Answer

Yes, I would. Also I would break up with them on the spot, because in your hypothetical scenario they don't deserve to be with me if I betrayed their trust like that. They deserve to be with someone who wouldn't betray them like that.

aceleon · Answer

yes. also anyone who does this can go rot in the deepest part of hell, regret my ass.

PeachyPie93 · Answer

Wouldn't happen. But I guess if it did, and it was only a kiss I wouldn't tell him since it would only hurt the guy and its not worth messing up the whole relationship.

ChicoFromThe305 · Answer

I don't ever seem myself in such a situation but yes the right thing to do is to tell your partner.

Jessikaah91 · Answer

I would because I'm 100% honest with my partner but at the same time I won't have to worry about it because I've never cheated in any type of way.

MemeSupreme · Answer

no telling them would be for you and not them. like you're telling them so you feel better and they won't afterwards

Space_535 · Answer

I wouldn’t even be in that situation in the first place. Takes a lot of intentional effort to do that.

Jhonrembo36 · Answer

I probably wouldn't tell her. Why cause her unnecessary pain🤔🤔🤷🏻‍♂️

LisaS · Answer

I wouldn't. Then I'd try and gaslight myself that I'm not trash

SphynxUK · Answer

It wouldn’t happen. I’m not in the habit of kissing men I’m not in a relationship with.

JacobJordan · Answer

I wouldn't do that but if I did absolutely because I am not a pos who is unfaithful and then pretends nothing happened

Joshydavid25 · Answer

Yeah, I would tell her that I'mma filthy cheater and I hope that she forgives me. If on the off chance I ever did that..

Jerre · Answer

No. I don’t think it’s significant enough to tell my partner.

slatyb · Answer

Probably not, but I'm careful to not let that happen as one thing could lead to another.

war_daddy · Answer

I just wouldn't kiss someone else in the first place. kissing is lame anyway.

Yannae · Answer

Yes, I deserve to face the wrath after that screwup.

RedInnocent68 · Answer

No. You’d be telling them for your sake, not theirs. It’s selfish actually.

nawtee_me · Answer

Regretting it later as opposed to regretting it while doing it? Sometimes a kiss is just a kiss.
