<human>: *Short summary of my relationship:* Met online, Long-distance, 2.5 years, 5,000 miles away. It's been good overall, *especially* lately. I am not unsatisfied at all. I love him, I'm *in* love with him, and I consistently put hope into our future working out.  

*Current situation:* Met a guy at college this semester and we became fast friends. He's crazy smart, funny, and is going for a career in the exact same thing I am. We have hung out quite a bit, so naturally since we had much in common I started to develop feelings. They weren't and still aren't anything too serious, just a casual crush. I don't intend on leaving my boyfriend for this guy--my boyfriend is much better for a variety of reasons. I just found myself becoming fond of my friend. 

Last night, I was very drunk, and made the mistake of messaging the guy and telling him about my crush on him. It wasn't a big deal--very casual, "I'm sorry for being awkward but I like you." He replied saying it was okay and that he liked me too. 

I know this is very petty and high-school-esque, but I feel terrible for even saying anything at all. I feel like I should cut contact with him, despite it being such a shame to lose him as a friend. 

My issue is whether or not to tell my boyfriend. The whole issue was very petty, as nothing beyond two short texts were exchanged. Yet my conscience hurts. Would telling him cause a bigger issue? Nothing really happened, and I don't want to lose my boyfriend.

Can you succinctly summarize the text in 1-3 sentences?
<bot>: Feeling guilty about telling my friend I have a crush on him. Should I tell my boyfriend, in the interest of honesty?
