making it fair?

[Anonymous]

Okay so ive been in a relationship with someone for 10 months, the first two months we were together I cheated. I came clean about it and now he says I need to do something to make up for it. to sort of balance out the scale. other than that topic we dont have any big problems. can someone please give me some ideas of what i could do?

"Balancing the scale" involves them sleeping with someone else

I feel like he should be the one to tell you what he wants from you.

How invested were you at the point that you cheated? Had you both agreed to be exclusive? If yes, then he doesn't need to worry about the cheating but he does need to worry about the deceit. If no, you should probably have kept quiet about it and put it in the 'Not Worth Thinking About' pile. Being as you've blabbed and you've agreed to play his stupid game of balance restoration what you should do is; Explain that it was a mistake you wish you hadn't made, and promise you'd never do it again. There, balance restored.

How can a perfect stranger tell you what someone else means by that?

Ask him. If he won't tell you and wants you to knock yourself out playing guessing games, then that's not balance--it's retaliation.
