Telling him the truth is a good thing. He is bound to be hurting at the moment, that will subside though and then he can make a decision as to how he feels about you and the relationship.

If he decides to stay then both go see a relationship counsellor and try and work through things....I hope things work out well for you both and you can move forward.

I recently suspected my partner of cheating, I am pregnant (8months). If he had been truthful with me about it I would have done as above if he wished to work things out.

My situation is slightly different in that there was no proper communication between us in the aftermath and he was admitted to hospital with a nervous breakdown.

I am trying to be there and be supportive even though he is in hospital and the only person he will allow to see him is his father.

I just believe, like AOB says above, even good people, can do bad things. Provided you both wish to work through things and stay together, then that is up to you both. You could end up with a stronger relationship, better communication and understanding and something worth all of the hard work and effort it will take.

However, as with everything in life, it made difficult by the fact that you are both individuals and both have different feelings and emotions and you will have to be patient and see how you both feel. The fact that you are both communicating is definitely a good thing though.....I wish you all the luck in the world and send a big hug....x
