Dear Amy: It has been a few months since I went on vacation without my boyfriend.
Before I left, things between us were not good.
I was unsure how he was feeling about me and was not too happy with my own life.
Now things are wonderful, but one thing nags me.
While I was gone I had too much to drink one night, walked off with a guy and allowed him to kiss me. It was very brief, and then it was over.
I was so intoxicated I don't really remember the whole situation.
I haven't told my boyfriend, and it still bothers me.
Is this something I should communicate to him if we are to have an open and honest relationship?

Dear Confused: There's a reason the catchphrase "what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" has caught on.
There are some things that don't need to be dredged up, and I suggest you can have an open and honest relationship without discussing this.
Something similar might have happened to your boyfriend while you were away. Would you want to know?
Your choice to drink to the point that you don't really remember what happened means that you placed yourself in an extremely vulnerable and potentially dangerous situation.
This is the aspect of your behavior you should review and promise not to repeat.
You should move on.
