Cheating in a relationship

I have been in a relationship with my boyfriend for 5 years. We have a house, 2 dogs and a good lifestyle. We have talked about getting married but this is not something I'm keen on, including having kids.

I've always experienced feelings of 'is this it?' Or 'will I ever meet someone again'. I recognise this isn't normal for some people but I take this approach a lot.

Recently I went on holiday to visit a friend. Whilst there I joined a dating website because my friend was on one. I met a guy and ended up cheating on my partner. I did not feel any guilt and if anything when I got back I realised even more how bored j was with my life. Since this time I have been really distant with my partner and have been on dating apps in the U.K. I know this makes me look terrible and I don't even understand why I am acting in this way. I am weighing up leaving my partner but I do care about him and we have a good life. He is good to me and would never ever betray me. I just can't help but think I can't ignore my recent actions.

To be honest, you should speak to your partner and together figure something out. Perhaps not for you two's sake, but definitely for the children sake. Personally I think that you should feel guilty and that you don't deserve him because if you did, then no matter what you would not have joined a dating site in the first place let alone agreed to meet up with a stranger. However it is not my relationship so yeah forget about my personal opinion on you, after all I am not the one with you.

I always wonder why guys like girls like this. I have no idea. I mean what sort of a guy sleeps with a girl like this? Cheating is a total turn off.

The guy doesn't know.....

I've been in a similar position. Tried to make it work but I made myself (and probably my then partner) very very miserable in the process. You need to have a very open discussion with yourself about what you want, and then with your partner either about making adjustments to the relationship, or leaving it.

There will be someone else out there who is just as nice and caring, and who you can have a long term meaningful relationship with. Staying with someone because they're nice is likely to do a number on your self esteem if you think they're the only person who will be nice to you!

Most of all, don't beat yourself up for sleeping with someone else. It happens. the people who say it's 'disgusting' etc are very boring or naive people
