I was living a life of sin (sexual), but now have confessed & repented of them. How should i confess this to my girlfriend (have considered her for marriage), i don't want to hurt her, but i want to be honest. I'm afraid she might leave me.

The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

If your girlfriend is a Christian, I am sure that she will know what it is to sin and repent, and that she will forgive your past. There are probably things she hasn't yet told you - but trust is important if you want to take the relationship on further.
Praying she understands, and this brings you closer

Tell her the truth but don't go in to too many details. We all sinned in many ways; including your girlfriend. You confessed and repented; which means you are already a winner Brother

This issue will eat away inside of you unless it is resolved. Hard as it may be telling her will give opportunity for both of you to be open about it and give opportunity to come to peace about what is now a forgiven past.

All you can really do is talk to her and hope that if she is the one God has planned for you that she will understand and forgive. I will likely be in the same boat one day and hope that guy chooses to forgive me too.

I agree with Criada that you should tell her - honesty is so important in a relationship, and especially if she's someone that you're considering for marriage. If she is also considering you for marriage, she deserves to go into it knowing all the facts. Praying for you both!

Tell her. If she leaves, then it's simply that God either does not plan for her to be your wife, or that she has more growth to do before she becomes your wife. I know that I am immensely glad I told my boyfriend my rather sordid past -- I know that he loves me the way I am.
