Caught my girlfriend in bed with another guy..need advice..

Hey. basically everyone had gone out in my flat at uni 3 nights ago. Me and my girlfriend had decided to stay in that night after a long day. The night was ok, we didn't argue but we were kind of quiet/ off with each other for a while - but nothing major.

At about 2am When all my friends got back at the halls where i live they knocked at my door and asked to join them to just chill out and stuff so i went with them whilst my girlfriend went back to her room.

After a few hours of chatting with friends and chilling out at about 4am, i popped back to my girlfriends room (about 10 seconds away) just to see how she was. She said that her friend was coming around (ill call him John) because she was bored and he was bringing a mate (i'll call him Jack). I knew she had already got with this guy before we were together. I thought nothing of it as she says they're just friends now and i trusted her.

At about 6am, Jack came down to the living room where me and my friends were chilling out saying "Oh God, I don't know why John dragged me here, I left the room before I could find out what they were doing." I obviously was starting to get really furious at this point so i went upstairs to my girlfriends room to find the door was locked (she never usually locks her door.) I pressed my ear to the door to hear giggling and whispering and then the sound of kissing. My heart sank. I didn't know what to do. I decided to wait a while in order to make sure that what i heard was not just a fluke so i went away to calm down for about 15 minutes before i confronted them.

I returned to hear the exact same sounds so in a fit of anger i banged on the door furiously. My girfriend opened the door and i asked them both what was going on (i was quite verbally aggressive at this point and they both looked quite scared - i'm about twice the size of both of them put together). At first they both said nothing happened and she told me i was being stupid and told me to leave and locked the door.

I knocked back on the door straight away and asked what had happened saying i heard kissing sounds. The guy didn't know that she had a boyfriend and asked me "are you seeing each other" to which my girlfriend replied "no." Then they both came clean saying that he was trying to get with her and that he was kissing her arm and tickling her whilst lying in bed together. Then he left and my girlfriend apologised and said she had made a mistake and that she loves me. She maintains that he was trying with her and that she just wanted to go to sleep and that the giggling was nervous giggling. I have since talked to her best friend who maintains that as far as she knows they did not kiss or doing anything futher.

I said i wanted to break up with her later that night but have since said i have forgiven her. I'm unsure what to do and who to talk to. Am i right to be this upset or am i overreacting? Should I forgive her ?

Thanks for listening and for your help..

"The guy didn't know that she had a boyfriend and asked me "are you seeing each other" to which my girlfriend replied "no.""

:giggle: Dump her.

total bint, get rid of her mate

The fact that she said 'no' in front of the other guy kind of shows a lack of respect for you, plus how she told you to leave and locked the door again. I'd say leave her, she doesn't deserve you.

that fact that she'd even let a guy into her bed (and lock the door) is pretty bad, but that her boyfriend is just downstairs and do that is just flat out stupid. get rid of her man.

Reply 7

Get rid of her. Don't cheat on her, don't do anything to get her back or any of that ****. Just get rid.

Dump.

Take her back but cheat on her at the next available opportunity.

^ I like :biggrin: revenge is so very very sweet. Probably easier to just dump though.

She's not your girlfriend, she's your ex-girlfriend.

The fact she said you weren't in a relationship cements that. Furthermore, I think if I was in the same place as my bf for hours I wouldn't be able to leave him alone for long periods of time :colondollar: you guys seem to do it rather easily, perhaps that's a sign?

So she locked herself in a room with a guy, and then denied that she was seeing you? I think she has kind of dumped you...ditch the bitch.

This situation SUCKS and I'm so sorry you had to experience it! I know something very similar happened to one of my friends in the first year of Uni. There are no excuses that can possibly explain or make cheating acceptable but I guess in the first year of Uni, everyone's experimental and meeting new people is often daunting and confusing, which, of course, is no reason to cheat!

If this were me, and I had witnessed that situation with my boyfriend, I, like you, would be heartbroken, because to me, cheating isn't necessarily sex. The mere fact she was trying it on with another guy would suggest that she isn't trustworthy and reliable. If she is adament it was the guy pushing for it with her, why let him in her room if she is dating you? If someone came to my room, who I thought had a crush on me or who I had history with, I wouldn't lock the door... also, when I sensed he wanted more, I'd certainly push him off and tell him I have a boyfriend, not lie there and giggle!

I know it's totally heartbreaking and your mind and heart are a total mix of emotions and feelings but you really need to decide if you trust her or not? If you want to be with her in the long term? Does she have a wandering eye and why did she firstly deny you were together? I suppose you could argue that if she's apologetic and insists she loves you, she has learnt from this mistake, only time will tell.

Could a break from her do you any good? To clear your head? I don't know, sometimes people need some space to think things over. How long have you been with her?

I don't doubt she deeply regrets what she did, but there are a number of old idioms/sayings, perhaps the most famous being that of a leopard never changing it's spots...

I genuinely hope this gets sorted for you and I'm sorry you've had to meet a girl who thinks it's ok to get into bed with another guy...if all else fails, and I don't mean to be humorous here, I'm sure there's plenty of other fish in the Uni sea who won't cheat on you.

If you want to talk, quote me! Hope this helps!

I would break up with her to be honest. It sounds like, even if it was nothing, that she didn't really understand the implications of what she was doing. Even to do that (kissing and tickling in bed) whilst in a relationship with someone else is wrong, although I believe it was probably more than that.

If she does have her "grey areas" in her head of things she can do that aren't cheating (which she seems to if they weren't doing any more than kissing arms and tickling) she will only try to stretch these in the future, especially when put under pressure from other guys. It sounds in particular that THIS guy has a bit of a hold on her.

The locked door also sounds a bit funny as well. If they weren't planning on sleeping together then the door should not have been locked. If he was planning to, and locked the door, then why did she not do anything about it (unlock it again, ask him to leave), as I am sure his intentions were clear by that point. She also locked the door again after you left the first time. I don't think this was innocent playing, where she was the "victim" at all.

:frown: Sad to say, but I think you need to break up with her, especially as I guess you will have difficulty trusting her in the future. That is not the kind of relationship anyone deserves. Maybe ask her to come clean to you, even in the knowledge that you are going to break up with her. I think it would be better for you either way to know, as opposed to be questioning yourself.

Hope that's helpful advice...

Tell her very calmly that youre fine with it because she never meant anything to you anyway, and dump her.

What would she do if you done the same thing to her.

From the bold parts, she clearly wants a lot of dick inside her. You only have 1, hence she is dissatisfied. I'm tempted to call her a whore because she just ditched you and hopped on the next dick ride. I don't like using that term but I guess it does apply to her, since she was in an exclusive relationship.
Here's what you could do
1)Forgive her
2) Dump her
3) Turn this into a FBuddy situation and see other girls as well.
The "nice guy" thing to do is number 1, the average man would do number 2, and number 3 is if you still don't mind having sex with her, but not exclusively.

Ask her 'wtf were you thinking?' and 'why be in a relationship if you're going to cheat?' and then ditch her.

Ditch her before you catch something nasty.

Ooh, I like this. Do it, provided you're strong enough not to break down at some point in future and tell her you loved her (or similar).
