Would you forgive your boyfriend for calling you a whore when you are faithful and honest?
I have been with my boyfriend for 3 years. We have lived together for 1 year. We recently have picked out an engagement ring together and planning to get engaged by the end of this year. He has always told me everyday how much he loves me, he always wants to make me happy no matter what. He has been kind to me and a gentleman for the last few years. And stupid me....I fell for it. He was drinking this past weekend and he came into the living room and out of the blue he tells me this...."You are a whore, you were a whore when I met you, your a whore now, and you will always be a whore!" We weren't even in a heated argument. I was completely blindsided by this. I haven't spoke to him in 3 days. I can't breathe when I think about it. I am beyond hurt. This is the first man I actually have been honest with and have let him in my personal life. He keeps calling my cell and leaving me messages of how sorry he is and he didn't mean it. I don't know what to do because the pain of this is unbearable. Not only does this comment let me know what he thinks of me, but it shows me disrespect. No one has ever said anything so hurtful to me ever.He has sent me flowers and is begging me for forgiveness, he has even been crying. What would you do if you were me? Remember, we live together but I am not sure I can get past this and forgive.

No. No I wouldn't. If you think he's bad now after a few drinks, wait until you're married and the drinking gets worse...

I the heat of an argument, nothing said is to be taken seriously. I've said some really nasty things when I was mad but I didn't mean them. Arguments are pretty bad sometimes. Don't take anything they say as truth. Even my ex wife called my mother a whore once. That was the closest I ever came to hitting a woman.
Could he have been drunk or on drugs at the time? There again, if he was you really can't hold that against him. If he was straight and sober then you have reason to not forgive him. It's really up to you. If you think he's worth keeping then forgive him and think you have something to hold over his head in the future. It sounds like he's really sorry he said it. I don't know him so I really can't say one way or the other. I'm afraid you're pretty much on your own with this one but I'd say forgive him this once. Should he repeat it then come down on him hard.
If that is your actual picture on your avatar then he's a fool for saying those things to you. You are one beautiful young woman but yo might want to tone it down on how you dress so you don't give him any new ammo in the future.
Hope this helps, good luck.

I would forgive him because I think the best thing to do is to forgive some person. Its best for that person that has hurt you and for yourself. On the other hand, I would not go back to him. Its obvious that he has some type of issues and he may hurt you in the long run. If you marry this man he will probably hurt you emotionally, verbally, physically, or maybe all of the above. I don't know. I not saying that you should completely give up on him, because somethings can be worked out. You should say to him I think we should to counseling together because we obviously have issues. If he is like a typical man and says we don't need relationship counseling then you tell obviously I am not important enough to you to fix our relationship so im leaving. If he stick his ground and let you go without changing his mind then you need to stay away.

You'll feel much better if you honestly forgive him completely. This will create a blast of energy from your heart. After you forgive him, then leave him. Then you can decide if you want to stay single for a while, or start dating again. Most guys you date will probably not be adequate long-term mates for you, so you may have to date a lot of guys before you find Mr. Right. Take care!

Wow I would feel hurt tooo but I could not say that would be the most painful thing. Anyway take some time to heal and then allow room for conversation with him......You are perfectly right with what you said "Not only does this comment let me know what he thinks of me, but it shows me disrespect" I think that you should give him a second chance though when you think he has learnt his lesson.

I was in a relationship like that he was great and one night we had a heated argument and said the most hurt full things! (we never called names or drag past into arguments) but he called me horrible name. Same story begged for forgiveness blah blah I took him back and after he saw he got away with it ,it just kept getting worse. Eventually I lost all confidence convinced I needed Him. Its hard when u love someone maybe it was a genuine mistake but remember..
Fool me once, shame on you fool me twice shame on me. Hope it works out dont settle for less than what you deserve x

WOW! I'm sorry... this is really weird. Do you think he might have cheated on you or something? Maybe he is deflecting or maybe he was having personal problems and taking his anger out on you. What did he do right after he said it? Has he accused you of cheating or whorish behavior before? If I were you I would not go back with him for a while and only if he gives you a good and honest reason behind what he said.

it sounds like he has anger issues in addition to a drinking problem. i would discuss counseling maybe. if you can't get past it and you can't move on, then you should leave. if this is the first time he has ever done anything hurtful and mean, maybe you need to find out why. it could be a one time thing based on some issues he may have from the past, or it could be his true character showing through.

This is a small glimpse of things to come, of how domestic violence starts. How would you react if you were married to him, had a couple of kids, and he started doing this every time he drinks? And if he started drinking every weekend? Every night? Maybe backing up his comments with a slap or two? Maybe a punch to your face?
It takes more than flowers & tears to get past something like that. He should start with swearing off alcohol, and then prove he can stick to the promise.

He said those things because he was drunk out of his mind.....everything else in the relationship was perfect except for that ....stop being melodramatic and talk to the man.
If this is the worst thing that he has ever done, consider yourself lucky and remember that noone is perfect. The same ppl that are here telling you to leave him are probably dealing with worse than that on a daily basis.
