Need advice - did I cheat and should I tell?

During my relationship with my SO, I used chat rooms to sext strangers completely anonymously (fake identity, no contact details, no emotional connection or repeated contact with the same person, no photos of myself / nudes). At the time I was doing it, we didn't live together and saw each other usually once or sometimes twice a week for dates. About a year ago, I had a wake up call and realised that what I was doing was disrespectful to my partner, and becoming too much of an addiction.I put an end to my behaviour. It's been a year since I've last done this and I know I would never do anything like that again. We live together now and are married, and the idea of doing it again would never cross my mind but the guilt is still present. Should I put this behind me as I'm very remorseful and will never go back to this behaviour again or tell?

Should I tell my partner about my past transgressions?s within the relationship?
