I just got so close to admitting to my partner that I slipped up. I burst into tears under the pretence of “feeling” like I wanted to cave, instead of telling him about my slip up earlier in the week. How do you all deal with the guilt of keeping secrets & lying to the people you love? Cause right now the guilt is eating me alive & I actually just don’t know a way out. I think he’d probably leave me & honestly I don’t know what I’d do, but it wouldn’t be good. I hate myself & how selfish I am & I just don’t see how to come back from this. I don’t deserve anything good in my life. There are people who would be so grateful to be in my position & I just take it for granted. I feel despicable. Help.
