I cheated on my boyfriend. I really like the guy I cheated on him with, but my mom doesn't. I want to tell my boyfriend but he doesn't want me to cause they're kinda buds. Do I tell him so he'll leave me alone?

You should tell him the truth. He deserves that. You should also consider ending a relationship BEFORE you decide to cheat on someone, especially if its with someone they know. You wouldn't want someone to do that to you. Also consider just reflecting: if his friend can betray him like that, what may happen in the future? Tread carefully and think about your thoughts, behaviors and patterns and how they effect others, and how others thoughts behaviors and patterns can effect you. Sometimes things are not meant to be, but everyone should always be respected at the very least.

i'm sure that's a hard situation to be in, what i think about this is that when you get together with a person, you promise them your loyalty along with other things, so i think you owe it to your boyfriend to tell him the truth, it might be hard but he deserves to know, its better if he knows it from you, rather than someone else, that would hurt him more, if you tell him how you feel than he might understand this situation better and move on. i hope this answer helped you with your situation :))
