Blyss:
Just my take, and I'm prepared to be crucified for it, but Sven told Lydia, because he wants to tell Faye, and he was just working up to it.
Meh. He'll tell her.

My god, Sven acting realistically: I'm thunderstruck!
Why did Sven tell Lydia? One of two reasons: either he was afraid she'd find out anyway and decided to bring it into the open or (more likely) he wants to be caught.
Why in god's name would he want to be caught, you ask? Because he's feeling guilty. I'm sure Gina did her "whorish best,"* but Sven was too distracted by guilt to notice.
Why the guilt? Who knows? I mean, people can feel guilty for the damnedest reasons. Very probably Sven himself doesn't know why he can't feel good about this escapade. But all the signs point to the fact that he doesn't.
That may be why he told Lydia, in fact, hoping to be forced into dealing with it. I really doubt Sven thought Lyds was going to give him a high five and a thumbs up for scoring Gina. But remember, if we can believe Dora, guilt's not something Sven is much used to dealing with. He may know he needs to be honest with Faye, but feels better about being 'forced' into it. Otherwise, he might be admitting to having a conscience as opposed to the whole "Faye knew what she was getting into" line of BS. That only works if you don't give a bucket of pig shit about the person in question.
So I suppose I agree with maddness, et alii. But what fun would it be just to type that?
*A fave Heinlein quote of mine: "Darling, a true lady takes off her dignity with her clothes and does her whorish best. At other times you can be as modest and dignified as your persona requires."
Border Reiver:
And to carry on from what our good friend Raul started - the confession may very well force Faye into looking at what she has and what she wants from her relationship with Sven. Yes, I believe they have a relationship - neither side is being entirely open about what they want out of it, and neither party is being honest with themselves either.
Wait a minute, this might lead to character development!
Both parties here have not been entirely honest with themselves or with each other, and certainly both are saying things to "keep their cred", but their actions seem to indicate that they do have feelings for each other and that they care about each other. Nothing like a forced confrontation to make your realize what you have, what you want and what you need to do to keep it.

Cue Angus...Angus Young that is!
Twelvth:
I have to disagree on the whole "it's not lydia's place to tell" argument. Because that is BULLCRAP.
You can say all you want about letting people make their own mistakes and choices, and that's all well and good. But people can hardly make ANY choices if they don't have any information leading up to the fact that there's a choice to make.
Granted, she's not under any obligation to tell, she doesn't know Faye all that well or anything. But she knows enough to tell that Faye wouldn't appreciate it, and there is nothing, NOTHING wrong with her letting her know what happened. Maybe if she'd just seen him around ambiguously with another girl or something I could see reason for her to morally butt out, it being not her business and there being plenty of room for misunderstanding. But he blatantly TOLD her what went down. She's well within her rights to tell any other involved party as she feels morally inclined to.
I don't see how it's possibly a power thing, because once she's actually told it's done with. Unless you think she's just all talk and wouldn't follow through with it, thus just trying to twitch his strings. We'll see how that plays out.
