If you cheated on your significant other, why did you do it?

I'm not proud of it but i did it when i was 15, it wasn't a long-term relationship, we were only together for a month... I think? I wasn't really thinking and some of my friends were hoes that thought cheating is fun so I did it. He didn't find out, I told him. But before I told him, he was talking to me about how we are together, but we're not, and then he didn't know. I was so confused, it was actually hard to feel guilty about it after that if he didn't know what he wanted to begin with. But once I told him I cheated, all hell broke loose. "Why did you cheat? Who with? How could you do this?! etc." I told him "Just a few minutes ago you didn't even know if we were together officially and now you're gonna act like we we're married with 2 kids?" He just said bye and left. Honestly, I felt guilty for the cheating part, but not that it was him I cheated on. I moved on from the situation, got a new boyfriend at the time, and then he texted me drunk as hell that he wants to nowwwwwww be official. I said no and it was honestly the best decision ever because finally when I was 16, about a full year after that. I got into an official, long term relationship, before we got together guess who came back? He actually got a girlfriend of his own, but instead of asking to get back together he just asked to see my boobs and told me he was high on angel dust and that if i showed him my boobs his girl wouldn't find out. I just stopped feeling guilty, I couldn't take him seriously anymore, and blocked him afterward. Found out later all he did was talk to other girls when he was with me anyways, so yeah he wasn't worth much, but I'm definitely not cheating again. It's not worth lying to someone I genuinely care for.
