I can't live with myself

i don't know weather this is a sin or not if your not actually married yet to this woman. is engagement apart of islam? because i never heard of it before being apart of religion anyway did you sleep with this other woman? if you did then i would repent for that and insha'allaah don't worry everything will be okay.

nah engagement is no part in Islam

the things humans do for a few moments pleasure, 'cannot live with myself'? grow up already..

you put yourself in a position to do the deed, why? being engaged means you agree not to fool around with others, I don't think you're ready to marry just yet.

if the shoe was on the other foot, what would you do? the relationship will work if it's meant to be, so take this as a lesson, learn from it, and move on.

This did not happen in the blessed month of Ramadhan and i am most aware of how deeply terrible my thoughtless actions were.

Anonymous, as much as it is painful and shocking it would be to your fiance that you cheated on her, I don't see that you actually had ADULTERY as the sin you recognized you did and that it is what you are asking for forgiveness.

You mentioned it as ONLY cheating. Do you believe that it was ok if you weren't engaged?

Not reducing at all the trauma it might cause the poor woman when she finds out, but the sin you need to ask God for forgiveness from and repent from, is the adultery, the breaking of your chastity.

As for your fiance, I know it might seem to you strange, but the prophet -pbuh- said not to uncover whatever God has covered (satr). Omar -RA- was very angry with a man who asked him whether he should tell suitors that his daughter made a mistake and told him not to dare open his mouth. You may wish to spare your fiance's feelings the pain and suffering, not to mention the crushed love, shaken confidence and long term mistrust that will linger whether or not you stay together.

I know some brothers and sisters here might launch at this and say that she has the right to know. Well I am sorry I disagree, you see I have seen what a cheated upon woman becomes after learning of it, some doubt and blame themselves and many sink in depression and paranoia for years, and they do take it out on the next man that comes along to be a husband.

After the sin of adultery which may God forgive you for, you need to know you did a most hideous act as a young man set to be married could have done to someone else. If you get a second chance, make it right.

Just a note Arain, this hadith says that he will be brought as he would have "insulted this person and beat this person and ate the money of that person". crimes with Shariah hodud like adultery or murder are not within this category.

God knows best
