Cheat


Dear Dr Dan,
I cheated on my boyfriend. I really, really love him and I feel terrible. He doesn't know about it, and I know if I told him he would be heartbroken. Should I put him through that just so I can feel better about myself for telling the truth? Or should I just not tell him and never do it again?

Dear Guilt-Riddled
A tough question. If you truly believe you could keep this a secret forever then it's probably best not to tell him. On the hand that leading scientists now designate 'the other', if you feel the guilt of your infidelity will cause you to eventually confess, then you should 'fess up on your lack of faithfulness straight away. The longer you leave the confession, the more betrayed he will feel. Ultimately, however, the decision depends on how your boyfriend will react, and that's hard to know. Encourage him to take a job as an advice-giver and then ask him the exact same... question... you... asked... me... wait a minute! Beth? Is that you??
