She spoke to men over the internet then she repented from that
Question

                PLEASE HELP, ITS URGENT! (May Allah make you see this). 

I need your advice, I became Muslim 4 years ago, I got married 3 years ago (or there abouts). I do not live with my husband as our marriage is secret, his parents do not know about me yet. Anyway the point is, I do not get to see my husband as often as I would like, and as a result I became lonely, and in my stupidity and selfishness and inpatience, I started to speak to NON MAHRAMS over the internet!!!! (May Allah forgive me). I spoke you quite a few of them, and told them I was not married, and to some of them I said I was divorced or getting divorced. Also I gave one of them an old picture of me without hijab, My hair, neck and arms were uncovered!!!!!!! This was all months ago, and I have repented for my crimes, and I have cried for fear of my grave and the Day of Judgement. I fear Allah so much and have cut off all ties with these people, I no longer speak to any men over the internet as I know Shaytaan temps human beings. I am truly ashamed of what I have done, and feel so guilty for it. I love my husband and he is going to tell his family about me soon inshaAllah. But I do not want to hurt him or embarrass him by having to call things off because of what I have done, I do not want to lose him. Do I have to tell him what I have done??? And what about the Photo, I hate what I did, but what if the boy still has it???? Will I go to hell????? And as for me telling people I was divorced or getting divorced, is my marriage still valid??????? I know I have ruined my life, but please help me, Allah knows best my intentions, I do not want to hurt anyone or do wrong in the sight of Allah. I want to do what is best for everyone concerned, I want to cover myself, can I do this. Please help me as I'm in so much pain.
Praise be to Allah.
    Firstly: 
Who has guided you to Islam. Allaah has 
    chosen you to be one of the followers of this great message, which is one of 
    the greatest means of attaining goodness and happiness in this life and in 
    the Hereafter. You must always remember this great blessing of which many 
    are deprived, and express your gratitude to Allaah both inwardly and 
    outwardly. 
    
    Secondly: 
Who has blessed you with a Muslim 
    husband, although we wish that it was a marriage in which your husband is 
    not far away from you, and that his family knew about it. The fact that your 
    husband has hidden this marriage from his family and has kept away from you 
    played a major role in what happened to you. You must hasten to set this 
    matter straight, by asking him to make your marriage known and to hasten to 
    tell his family; he should also stay by your side to help you to obey 
    Allaah, may He be exalted. He should fear Allaah with regard to you and not 
    expose you to temptation. He should pay attention to this responsibility 
    which rests on his shoulders. 
    
    Thirdly: 
Who has enabled you to repent and turn 
    back to Him before you became immersed in sin or did anything worse than 
    that. The Shaytaan makes sin appear attractive to the one who does it, but 
    if you remember the punishment for doing it and the reward that is with 
    Allaah for not doing it, and remember what Allaah has prepared in the 
    Hereafter for those who are obedient, you will realize that what is with 
    Allaah is better and more lasting, and that no matter what pleasure a person 
    may get from sinning, it will end up in distress and hardship in this world 
    and punishment in the Hereafter. So continue to repent and regret what you 
    did, and resolve firmly never to go back to it. Do voluntary acts of worship 
    to make up for what you have missed and to draw closer to Allaah and earn 
    more reward. 
    
    Fourthly: 

    It is essential for you to close the door to the temptations 
    which led you to sin. What we mean by that is those chats. You have to keep 
    away from those sinful chats with men altogether. It is not permissible for 
    you to enter chat rooms or correspond with them or talk to them. If you have 
    their names on “Messenger” then you must hasten to erase their names. 

    If you fear that logging onto the internet will lead you to 
    chatting with them, then you must keep away from the internet altogether and 
    content yourself with useful audio tapes, reading useful books, and looking 
    for righteous female friends who will guide you to what is good and keep you 
    away from evil. 

    Another requirement of sincere repentance is that it should 
    be accompanied by regret and resolve not to go back to that sin; you should 
    also keep away from other tempting sites and sites that are haraam or that 
    promote idleness and immorality. 

    If you devote your time to listening to useful tapes, reading 
    useful books and reading answers and articles on Islamic websites that are 
    known to follow correct beliefs and the correct path, this will be 
    sufficient for you as long as you live. How can you waste your life in 
    things that are of no benefit when you have before you a treasure of good 
    books, articles and tapes? That will be evidence against you on the Day of 
    Resurrection if you neglect it. You have no right to say “I am alone and I 
    do not know how to spend my time” when you have in front of you as it were a 
    garden filled with beautiful and fragrant flowers. Make the most of this 
    garden and strive to do good for yourself. Remember that life is short and 
    if a person were to spend it all in worship he would still meet Allaah 
    falling short in his duties, so how about if he wastes his life in idleness 
    and sin? 

    Fifthly: 

    Usually when many men establish relationships with women, 
    they stay with them until they get what they want from them, then they move 
    on to someone else. This is what Allaah has saved you from, and it is a 
    blessing that cannot be described in terms of worldly wealth. It requires 
    you to be constantly grateful to Allaah. Some men also leave women for 
    others if they despair of having their way with them or if communication 
    between them ceases. Many of them may think that the conversations that took 
    place were not with a woman, and that the picture was not of a particular 
    person but came from a photo shop or from a magazine or newspaper. If you 
    have cut off all contact with them – and this is what Allaah has enabled you 
    to do – then any of these things are possible. There is no need to worry 
    about the picture or try to get it back, if you express the wish to have the 
    picture back, it could be used for extortion, as has happened to many women. 
    So forget about the matter altogether and delegate your affairs to Allaah, 
    may He be exalted, for He is the Concealer who loves concealment, as the 
    Prophet  (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said. He is the One 
    Who has guided you to Islam and to repentance, and He is the One Who has 
    saved you. So do not fall prey to those wolves. Allaah is the One Who will 
    conceal you and make things easy for you by His will, may He be glorified 
    and exalted. There are many more pictures of women other than you with which 
    the internet is filled – Allaah forbid – and none of them will be interested 
    in a picture like that when he has thousands more in front of him.

     Sixthly: 

    Beware of telling your husband about what happened, rather 
    you should conceal it with the concealment of Allaah. If you tell him, it 
    may lead to bad consequences. So leave this issue between you and Allaah, 
    and repent to Him, may He be exalted. Ask Him for forgiveness and do a lot 
    of good deeds; strive to get your husband to tell his family about your 
    marriage, and ask him to stay with you so that he can help you to obey 
    Allaah. Do not open any closed doors by telling him what happened, because 
    there is no benefit in telling him, rather that may only lead to something 
    that is not in your interests at all. 

    Seventhly: 

    Telling people that you are divorced or about to get divorced 
    does not have any effect on the validity of your marriage, so rest assured 
    and do not worry. Words like this may lead to other consequences if they are 
    uttered by the husband, but if the wife says them they do not have any 
    effect on the marriage contract. So do not worry about this matter. There is 
    no ruling that results from your saying this, apart from your having to 
    repent and seek forgiveness for saying something that is not true. 

    Eighthly 

    You have not ruined your life, rather you have reformed it, 
    first by becoming Muslim, then by repenting from this sin. Remember that 
    Allaah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful, and that He accepts the repentance 
    of His slaves and changes the bad deeds of those who are sincere in their 
    repentance to good deeds. He may enable you to repent sincerely so that you 
    will be better off and more steadfast after that sincere return to Him. So 
    do not let despair enter your heart. Our Prophet Muhammad  (peace and 
    blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “All sons of Adam are prone to sin, 
    and the best of those who sin are those who repent.” You are one of the 
    daughters of Adam, and you have sinned, so be one of the best of those who 
    sin, namely those who repent. We hope that Allaah has enabled you to repent 
    sincerely and that He will accept it from you. 

    Remember that Allaah will turn your bad deeds into good deeds 
    if you do that. Listen to what our Lord, may He be glorified and exalted, 
    says (interpretation of the meaning): 
“And those who invoke not 
    any other ilaah (god) along with Allaah, nor kill such person as Allaah has 
    forbidden, except for just cause, nor commit illegal sexual intercourse  
    and whoever does this shall receive the punishment.

    69. The torment will be doubled to him on the Day of 
    Resurrection, and he will abide therein in disgrace;

    70. Except those who repent and believe (in Islamic 
    Monotheism), and do righteous deeds; for those, Allaah will change their 
    sins into good deeds, and Allaah is Oft‑Forgiving, Most Merciful”

    [al-Furqaan 25:68-70]

    In conclusion: 

    Continue to repent and close the doors to temptation. Strive 
    to do acts of worship and obedience, and to find righteous friends. Do not 
    tell your husband about what happened, and put your trust in Allaah, that He 
    will conceal you if you are sincere in your repentance. 

    We hope that we have answered all your questions and that you 
    will find this website helpful in sha Allaah. We hope to hear that your 
    situation has changed for the better and that your husband will tell his 
    family about your marriage. We ask Allaah to bless you with beneficial 
    knowledge, good deeds and righteous offspring. 

    And Allaah is the Source of strength.
