Most honest people pride themselves on being truthful. And that's fine, but when it comes to matters of the heart such as wishing to confess to your mate about some adulterous affair you had five years, months, minutes ago or longer, here are five points to consider before embarking on your “I want to cleanse my conscience” confession:
- Are you and your mate happy now?
- Does he/she trust you?
- Have you wondered what confessing your past adulterous act will do to your mate now?
- Can you imagine him/her not speaking to you or trusting you ever again?
- Are you looking for a reason to end your relationship with your present mate?
Some people cannot help themselves when pondering being honest about some past affair that's over. If they are having an important surgical procedure done, dying or enduring a life altering experience, they suddenly feel the need to confess to their mates about such adulterous matters.
Think about this for a moment. What if you survive the important surgical procedure and your mate wants to break up with you after learning of your past adulterous affair?
