How can't I forgive & forget?

My boyfriend of 8 years ended our relationship 7 weeks ago because he wanted to be alone & he just didn't want it anymore. I moved out of the home we shared & into my own apartment (which is my first own apartment). We spoke off & on for the first week. 1 week ago he started to come to me & said he wanted me back. I found out that he had been seeing this other women/sleeping with her. He is assuring me that I'm what he wants & he is done with this other girl. We are now trying to reconcile but I just can't stop thinking about him being with this other girl & how do I know it's over. I don't want to have worry when we are trying to move on & be better than what we were before, Any advise?

    I am in the same spot as you. MY Gf and I broke up about two months ago and then a week later she told me she had slept with this guy from school. She It was not while we were going out but after.

    Anyway the last month we have hung out and she has told me that she loves me and wants me to tell her I love her too which i do. I always have.

    Anyway I don't know for sure if we are getting back together but like yourself the thought of your lover with someone else just burns you up inside.

    My suggestion, if you really love him and want to get back together with him and feel that he is being sincere in apologizing and that it is over, then you pretty much want to be back with him. That is where I am right now. Just not 100% sure if the girl i like is in the same place

    They say once a cheater always a cheater but that sometimes is not true and if you can learn to trust the person you are with again, hopefully things will work out.

    Throughout my ordeal I have realized one thing, there is a difference between forgiveness and regaining trust. I have learned to forgive the girl i am with, but the trust needs to be rebuilt.

    Hey I know your probably toally in to this guy and you shared so many things together. Well it seems to me that he wanted to get with this girl and it didn't work out b/t her and him and he already knew he would have you to turn back to so you accepting him proved his point you were security to him but my advice is that he will eventually try and do it again and I think you should try to move on, try living by yourself change never hurted anyone, it may be hard but Im sure you are strong to do it. You need some fresh air.

    don't give up that easy.. he has to understand that you're very precious and hard to get after the pain he caused.. you're not his toy...

    HE BROKE UP WITH YOU TO BE WITH HER!! DUH!!! He didn't do it for space he did it to be with her...which means he absolutely cheated on you before this was over.

    EVEN if he didn't and he did...don't go back. he isn't worth it.
