Just to state the obvious, partners in healthy and loving relationships stray all the time. It happens even to the most honourable and loyal of partners.
A lot of factors can lead to a partner cheating on their loved ones, at times it's just one. But still, the fact remains - people cheat!
The main question, today, is whether a cheating partner should come clean on the illicit affair. However, the answer to this question varies from one couple to another.
Does coming clean cause more harm than good? Here are instances where a partner should and must come clean about an affair;
1. When there's a sexually transmitted infection in circulation within the love triangle that you so perfectly nestled. You owe it to them at the very least.
2. When it places your unsuspecting partner in danger of retaliation or aggression by your partner-in-crime either because of jealousy or otherwise.
3. When the affair is the key reason for a break-up. Even though an affair might cause you to end a relationship, your partner needs closure as to why you are leaving so suddenly.
4. When your caught pants down or when your partner finds out the truth about your affair some other way and comes calling for answers.
5. When the burden of guilt becomes too heavy a burden for you to carry and directly impacts on your relationship and lives. Telling your partner might just end up blowing a new lease of life into your marriage or relationship.
6. When your lover's friend or family stumbles onto your secretive romantic escapades. It would be prudent that your partner learns of the truth from you rather than an outsider.
