They cheated on you, how do you deal with it??????

He didnt really cheat on me. We broke up he went with someone else and when we made up i learned what he did. Needless to say i was furious. I forgave him, i wasnt really allowed to be angry in the 1st place since we were not even together at that time. It took me more than a month to take it.

Some people told me they wouldnt stay with someone who cheated on them because it means they'll keep doing it.

But when you truly love someone, you cant imagine your life without them. :(

What would you do? Forgive or leave??

You're right. If you weren't together, he didn't really cheat. He just hurt you. I don't think you have to worry about whether to forgive or leave before you decide if you'll be able to heal or not. It's really about what you feel, not what he did. Is this a pattern with him? If he has hurt you like this in the past, or tends to disreguard your feelings, I would think twice about being with this guy. Even though you wren't together, he had to know that hooking up with someone else would hurt you.

...How many times is he going say to you ..."We need a break" ??

Seems like he might have just been looking for that excuse to play around. I Don't care for excuses ...he knows he hurt you by doing it.
If he tries using that ol' chestnut again, then a pattern is forming.
Boot him if it does ...it'll only end in tears...

But i love him. I know, i must be stupid.


...nope, just human.

If, while you were broke up, some hottie had asked you out, would YOU have done so? What would you have done in his circumstances? Just curious...

Sorry Leaping Lezard

Shovelheat I was too broken hearted to even think about looking at hotties... Maybe if the "break "had lasted a bit longer i would have played around too? i dont know

A couple of thoughts...

First - The fact that he "was with someone else" and that "it happened after we broke up" certainly bares some looking into. If your relationship together was meaningful for him, why would he find someone else so fast, and, since you are "back together" again isn't there at least one other person wondering why he dumped her? Sounds like your boyfriend has a commitment problem. Does he expect your relationship to be perfect, without conflict or disagreement? What is he searching for that he can't seem to find in you?

Second - Whatever caused the exodus from the relationship had better be looked into. What could possibly drive the two of you apart if you both are committed? The answer, of course, is nothing. Obviously, your relationship together has some unbreachable boundries. Once these boundries are crossed, it's time to go. This is not a good invironment for unconditional love.

Perhaps you should re-evaluate your personal ground rules for a relationship together with your friend. It's a good idea to talk, it brings safety, understanding, and trust.

Don i think you are asking the right questions here. Yes he has commitment problems. He broke up with his girlfriend (the one before me) because she had cheated on him. They tried to make it work, but after a couple of months he left. That's when he met me. And after a couple of weeks we were a couple. But i think he wasnt over his ex yet, and he was feeling unsecure about our relationship. That's when he asked for the 'break'. So i told him, maybe we should just break up altogether, since i didnt seem to make him happy. And as much as it hurt me, i let him go.

I dont know about this time. I am preparing myself to a possible break up again even though everything is going just fine and has been going like that for months now. But i always told myself that when things are going to good, beware because something will strike very soon:(
