I cheated on my ex-boyfriend who helped me through my post-suicide phase, since the day I left those hospital doors. Nearly a year later, even if I have a job I love to bits and a boyfriend who loves me to bits, I keep thinking about how I can admit and apologize to my ex.

He’ll forgive you if you tell him because he’s stood by your side this long. Most definitely.
just another whore feeling a tiny bit guilty. yeah, go apologise to him a year later, it wont do anything for him, if anything it will just bring back his pain. it will help you feel a little better though and thats all you want anyway.
We can’t change our past, but we can create our future. It sounds like you need to apologize for your own mental health, but make sure it is in a safe way to mitigate any possible bad situation. No use wasting energy on the past when you could be putting that energy towards being a better person for tomorrow. If you regret your actions show it that way by constantly working towards being a better person, and then let the rest go because it is over. Most people don’t seem to realize good living is best for the soul, and not the other person.
Why do you want to confess? So that you’ll feel better, or so that he’ll feel better? Because if he has no idea you cheated, then this isn’t going to help him in any way. It’ll hurt him, and yes you’ll have that guilt off your shoulders, but which is more important to you?
I ask because I cheated once. And I kept it inside, and I will carry that guilt to my grave. To tell my wife would be to unburden myself, but at what cost? I love my wife, and would never want to bring her pain. It was a stupid thing to do at a time in our marriage when things were very difficult between us, but all that is past and our marriage is wonderful now… so should I tell her? No. I will carry it, and my stupid mistake will be my burden, alone. But that’s my choice.
