As if anyone in this chat doesn’t have some secret that would screw up their life if people found out. It could be theft, physical or emotional abuse, anything against the norm. But we have no problem chastising actions of others without considering our own. So, it is to be assumed that if you were in a great relationship and your “other” made a mistake of having sex with an ex one time, but then realized it was a terrible mistake and the life alternating affect it would have if you found out, you would rather have your perfect relationship end by being told the truth about a single indiscretion. The world is filled with mistakes we all make. This is no habitual cheater. Taking them at their word they didn’t do it before and won’t do it again. Telling on yourself out of guilt, ruining a great relationship when there’s no way of your partner knowing about one indiscretion, means you have a child’s view of what’s right and what’s wrong. Grow up.

I'd suggest you suffer from a serious lack of imagination.

However the fact that you didn't tell your partner what you were doing leads me to think that you may just be underselling your planning and forethought in this instance.

I hope you can work it out with you current girlfriend but that may not be what's best for anyone involved. The fact that you went to your ex's place means to me that there is part of you that wants to get back together.
You may not agree but look at what you wrote here. You didn't once mention anything about helping your ex with her problems that were so overwhelming. Instead your whole story was about resolving all the old problems of your former relationship....
You only felt bad when you realized you had to go back home and explain. You need to really think about what you want and who you want that with
