hi this is my first post here, im normally in the other forums but here it goes.i recently found out my gf of 4.5 years has cheated on me. ive always thought if it happened i would just end it, but i realy dont want that option, i cant even explane how messed up i feel. i havent confronted her yet, i kinda want her to fess up to it, it happend while we were in a low spot in the relationship and took a couple weeks apart which was the beginning of this month.
i basically just need to vent, there is really no1 i can talk to about this in person not even my best friend.
Sorry to hear that, there's no 'magic bullet' comment that can instantly make you feel better. You just gotta no think about it too much, and occupy your mind with other activities. A movie, skiing, fishing, whatever it is that makes you happy.
As for her
1) Why did she cheat on you? Maybe it's her weird way of saying she doesn't want to be with you. But doesn't want the huge drama associated with it.
2) Maybe she's not right for you? That's not her fault. You're not compatible. That's life. That's dating. You CAN'T force someone to be 'compatible' with you. That's why we date first.
You have two options in the end. Be with her, or not be with her. There is no gray area.
If you want to be with her, you're saying she IS right for you, and she just made a mistake (there are no 'mistakes' btw). What was the answer to #1? Is that resolved?
If it's #2. Move on. Find strenght and happiness in YOURSELF first. People try to find happiness in OTHER people, and that's when things fuck up.
Women don't think like men. Don't expect her to do that. Womens' brains are wired differently.
Do what's right for you AND her. Take the higher road. You'll sleep better at night.
Remember, you're searching for the mother of your future kids. Take your time and owe it to your future kids to find that right woman who'll be with you til you're 80.
