Do I Have To Confess My Adultery To My Spouse? by akinolasam: 11:41pm On Mar 22, 2010
Whatever name you may want to call me, you may be justified.

I got involved in an extra affair and the truth is that i feel guilty every time I remember my action.

Must i tell my spouse what I have done? Howdo I save myself from all the consequences that may follow my confession?

Pls, advice me.

You need to decide if she can find out or not. . . . personally if it was a one night stand or with a woman of the night, I'd consider not telling her.

If on the other hand, there is a possibility of her finding out, it will hurt if she doesn't hear it from you.

You must first of all clean up your act and be ready for her to hate you for a while, or even risk her leaving before you tell her.

I have assumed. . . . it could be a woman.

For a woman it could be even more costly. . . consider the chances of finding out first before spilling your guts.

Good thing is you feel guilty, hopefully this guilt will motivate you to avoid future temptations. As for telling your partner, I think its best to come clean, nothing is hidden under the sun and he/she will definitely find out if not now, in 10/20/30/40/50yrs time.

Nothing sexist I'm afraid - if they are white or foreigners, then no issues. But if they are Nigerian, the odds are unfortunately stacked against the woman if she commits the infidelity.

If he's a naija man, don't come clean. grin Whether you tell him yourself or he finds out himself, he will still pursue you out of his house. grin

Exactly my point - regardless of whether he's shagged half the neighbourhood, let the woman try it and she'll be out on her derriere. sad

@poster
ask yourself this question[b]:" if your spouse had done the exact same "mistake" you did, would you have wanted that he/she come clean?"[/b]

also what kind of relationship you expect to build without honesty? trust is already out the window, dont let honesty be gone because that will surely be THE END!
you may hide it now and in the future this stuff may blow in your face. at least give that spouse the respect he/she deserve before they get humiliated later.(better they learn of this by you than by their friends or the neighbor's gossiping)

imho you HAVE to come clean and let your spouse forgive you and give you a chance to redeem yourself OR leave your cheating a$$ if he/she wants to.
you have to live with the consequences of your confessions as a result of a simple mistake you made(simple law of action and reaction).
you may be remorseful but let YOUR SPOUSE decide the fate of this union (its about two people not just one)

Sometimes its just good to let sleeping dogs lie.

Telling your wife/husband that you just cheated on her/ him is bound to break your marriage faster than you can say "hi".

Just make sure you don't repeat such. . .and if your guilty conscience refuses to shut the fcking up. . .then you tell it to shut the fcking up!

@ Op,
If you're a guy, confess and ask for forgiveness. Women are almost obliged to forgive. You'll all move on.
If you're a woman. . . . . SHUT THE HELL UP!!!!! grin

I'm glad you still have a conscience. Most people lost theirs on the first nite.

I will advise you keep mum. Just resolve not to do it again and mean it.
Re: Do I Have To Confess My Adultery To My Spouse? by UcheUwadi(m): 3:41am On Mar 23, 2010
If you must cheat and you are remorseful, take it to the grave. That is the best advice I could give you. What she don't know, wont hurt her.
