I'm not sure if you've seen my other posts or not but I've been kinda unfaithful to my boyfriend. He and I have been online dating for almost 6 months and I have unfortunately been flirting with other people behind his back.

I've felt really guilty about it and I've even had trouble sleeping over it because I truly love him. He was my best friend before we began dating and we have been through so much together. I have a feeling I am gonna be caught soon so I feel like it is better to tell him my self than have him find out through a secondhand source.

I really feel horrible that I have hurt him and I am terrified that he will end up leaving me. I've been planning telling him all day and I have been telling him how much I love him numerous times today and how deeply I care for him.

He has been so sweet and kind. I was planning on keeping this a secret forever but I just can't. My conscious is harping on me too much and I need to spill the beans because I feel he has a right to know. So how should I tell him?

I was planning on saying "I need to tell you something." and tell him over text but should I do it over the phone instead? I feel like if I do it through text he'll think I'm not sincerely sorry and surely dump me but if I do it over the phone I don't think I'll be able to keep my composure.

We are long distance so I can't just meet him in person and tell him. What should I do? How would you tell your SO if you cheated on them? Thanks for your help
