You made a mistake that hurt someone. They'll never know. Confess anyway?

I confessed something like this once and it blew up everything. Still don't know if I did the right thing.

If you caused harm, they have a right to know. Your convenience isn't more important than their ability to make informed decisions about your relationship.

This is the trolley problem of personal ethics lol. More pain ≠ less pain. Confession might help you sleep but it damages them unnecessarily.

Depends on the mistake honestly. Confessing for minor things just creates new problems. But if it's something serious that shaped them? They deserve to know.

Yes. Always yes. You can't build anything real on a lie, even a small one.
