I cheated :( will he ever forgive me?
I've been with my boyfriend for 3 years. A year and a half ago he broke up with me for 2 weeks for another girl and had sex with her. I didn't know about this and he asked me back out so I said yes. A month after, I found out through his facebook messages what he had done and I was devastated. I forgave him though. I was still so hurt that when I went on holiday with my friend a month later I slept with someone. It lasted for about ten seconds because I realised how stupid it was and that I loved my boyfriend. I know it was a completely stupid, heartless and immature thing to do and to this day I've regretted it. 2 nights ago after a couple of drinks I confessed. It's been a year and a half since it happened and I don't know if my boyfriends going to forgive me. He is very mad about it and says he doesn't know if he can stand to be around me. I love him so so much I can't physically stand the thought of him leaving me. I just want to know if anyone's gone through anything similar and how I can prove to him that he can trust me and that I will never ever keep anything from him again. Please help :( I haven't stopped crying for 2 days and I just need some advice :( thanks

You were put in a confusing situation without knowing how to handle it. Maybe if you had talked to someone before you cheated, you wouldn't have cheated. But, with lack of information, you made a mistake. As Oprah says, when you know better you do better. Now you know better. So, all you can do is be honest, and sincerely apologize. If he can't forgive you then he is being a hypocrite. I would remind him about how terrible he felt when he betrayed you. And remind him that this is how you feel now. And you were gracious to him, and to please extend you the same courtesy. I'm sorry you are going through this, I hope it gets better. And try not to feel so badly for making a mistake, mistakes help us navigate in the right direction if we learn from them. Going forward, try to stick with your life goals. What do you want out of life? If you have a plan, then its harder to get side-tracked by things that take you off course - such as another guy. :) Good luck!

I agree with liz and jamie-lee... You werent together for 2 weeks thats more then enough time to lose hope. If you were hurt you shouldve let him go right then... But instead you kept the pain bottled up and let it control your emotions. At the very least you shouldve talked to him about the heartache... Your options now are
1. Break up because even if he forgives you some time in the future that same pain you first felt from him sleeping with another girl and the pain from you cheating gonna collide... You'll question what you should do, because technically you cheated and he didnt... Thus it'll put you on a path of self destruction, low self esteem, anger, and saddness
Or
2. You both sit down and talk about this and think long and hard. Lay all the cards on the table.. Dont do it online, email, or text.. Do it face to face

As horrible as it sounds, but he shouldn't forgive you I personally think. Yes he slept with another girl, but you wasn't even together therefore you have to right no be angry about it, hurt yes, angry no. But the fact that you not only cheated, whether it be 10 seconds or more, but it's the fact you did it because he hurt you like that. It was very childish and wrong of you. And you was together at the time. I'd have dumped you for being so childish myself, two wrongs don't make a right! Learn from this! If it hurt you so much and made in your mind cheat on him, then why did you stay with him, you should of left him.

You blew it, you and he broke up for 2 weeks and he slept with someone else. You were still seeing him when you slept with another guy, 10 seconds or 10 minutes it does not matter you did it.
I dont know if he will forgive you, only he knows whether he can deal with what you did.
Hope you can work it out.

You need to find a way of convincing him that you do love him and you can be trusted. Sit down and have a long conversation with him in person, it shouldnt be online or over text, this can ruin relationships, trust me i know, you must tell him face to face that you are worth more than that sensless act and can be a loyal trustworthy girlfriend.

You should talk to him, tell him that you forgave him, he should forgive you. Why does he care? He had slept with another girl and you forgave him. He should do the same for you.

No point break up. You both have done it and will do it again in the future. It happens.
