No wonder her arm never tires! It all makes sense now!

OT: I'd stay with her. Just because she's mechanical shouldn't diminish the supposed love between us.
Yes, I'd tell her, because she should know of her true nature.
Plus, then I'd be able to install different voice mods. Tell me having EDI's voice wouldn't make for excellent foreplay.

My first thought would be a rather self deprecating "I knew something was fishy when a girl showed interest in me".

All other decisions would be complicated. I'd probably tell them, and possibly leave to appease some kind of emotional masochism to do with being alone.

It would be really shocking to find out, and obviously any answer I give here might play out differently in real life, but I think I'd stay with her and not tell her. I mean, it doesn't change her or her personality, she's still exactly the same as she was before. Telling her would either be too much for her to cope with (I mean, it would be a pretty dramatic thing to find out), or she wouldn't believe me and would think I was crazy, so I can't see a scenario where telling her would be a positive thing to do.

It is a strange thing that I am more robotlike than my girlfriend, but I'd be pretty okay with it. I mean, I've been okay with it so far. Would I tell her? I don't know. I would ask her one day completely apropos: Are you an android? If she says no, I'll play the game along. If she says yes, well, I still love her, and we have something new to talk about!

*is currently in a relationship*

If my GF turned out to be a robot, I'd stay. My GF is really really special to me. I mean, at the point where I'm at with her, I wouldn't care if she was a bot or not. I love her deeply, so why would the fact that she's a robot change that? Yeah she'd be technically artificial, but all the fun we've had together isn't.

Although I WOULD tell her, preferably when I can prove it. And then I would help her fix some of the more annoying parts of "humanity" that her robot body would be imitating (getting sick, etc).

Either track down the manufacturer to see what the hell is up with that, or ask him to divide by zero and see what happens.

Well, step one would be going to the doctor to make sure I don't have heavy metal poisoning.

I imagine step two would be telling them. They deserve to know that. Also, I can't imagine our relationship would survive the whole revelation. I mean, what if we wanted kids?

Of course I wouldn't tell her, I built her that way for a reason!

More seriously, I suppose that depends on the circumstances. Proving it would be difficult, and even if I could do so, the revelation is likely to cause her a great deal of pain.

I would prefer to let her know, and ease the blow as best I can. From there, we can move forward in terms of making the best of the situation. It would certainly be interesting to see how her life can be improved without the limitations of passing for being a mere human.

But if I decide that revealing this would do far more harm than good, I'd stay with her as if nothing had changed, largely because nothing indeed has changed. I don't care about a person's heritage and nature save in terms of how they let it influence who they are as a person.

Either way, I would also like to track down whoever made her and find a way to get my hands on that technology, turn it to better purposes than effectively brainwashing sophonts into living a lie.

I'd keep her off watching Electroma though, for obvious reasons.
I see what you did there~!

OT: Hmn, I knew he was too good to be true! More for me to enjoy. ;D

But seriously, if we were doing fine and he's a perfect replica of human-kind with emotions and whatnot, I don't see the problem here.
