Confessing to your girlfriend you cheated on her is SELFISH ???

basically the only reason to confess that you cheated to your significant other is to relieve your guilt is what he's saying
there are also health reasons which is the thing that he's missing and also perhaps you feel that your girlfriend should know (because if you've cheated once you're statisitically much more likely to cheat again than someone who never cheated and you think that she should be fully informed about the relationship)

Why does he even have to tell Faye for health reasons? He goes to the clinic, gets tested; if he's negative, Faye does not need to know. As long as Sven has not contracted any diseases or gotten Gina pregnant, there is absolutely no good reason for Faye to know this happened.
The Joker:
If Sven wants to keep sleeping with Faye, even as big of a dick as him couldn't avoid guilt, which wouldn't let him sleep with her unless he told her. But then, if Faye wants to keep sleeping with Sven and he refuses, then Faye will become curious and she'll find out anyway.
I would say that if you've done something wrong to your "partner" (and let's not argue about whether or not this is a "relationship" and whether or not Sven and Faye are "partners", please) it's better you be honest and tell them than they find out that you were trying to hide it.

Some STD's take a while to show up, but are transmittable in the mean time. Oral herpes is a great example. And some are asymptomatic in many people, like say HPV.
But really, I personally don't think it's a health thing primarily. That's only a secondary issue. It's about being honest in your relationships. You know, do unto others and all that.
Also, being honest tends to kill drama stone dead. Sven's whole "If I don't tell her, she won't find out, and there will never be any consequences" rationalization is obviously mistaken. Faye IS gonna find out, sooner or later, one way or another. If he tells her right away, the amount of drama will be way less. The longer it takes for her to find out, the more drama...
Lost Coastlines:
Faye made it clear her consent required monogamy. Whether or not they are in a relationship is moot. If Sven doesn't tell her then her consent is based on false pretenses.

Some people's definition of "reality" is curiously similar to my definition of "sociopathy."
