Girlfriend cheated on me.

Ok, so a bit of background. Have been going out with my girlfriend for 2 months now. She is currently on holiday. At 3 oclock this morning i got a text saying she had cheated on me and was really sorry shes messed things up. She is abroad at the moment and comes back this week. I really have no idea what to do :frown: . What's worse is that not long before she went i kind of said please dont ever cheat on me, not very seriously, and she got really arsey with me saying she would never do it and was shocked i thought so little of her. And now she's gone and done it anyway. Im really hurt and dont know whether to end it as soon as she comes back or give it another try.

First off, what level of cheating because a cheeky kiss on holiday is forgivable imo.

I would say meet her at some point when she is back and decide if you can forgive her, if not its best to tell her flat out and chip off to greener pastures.
Talk to her about it, make her tell you why she did it and why she felt the need to. Then decide if she means enough to you, also for you to be able to trust her enough before taking her back. Or if you feel you can't trust her then end it, relationships rarely work without trust.

Hope the best for you :smile:

She probably regrets it, seeing as she told you and didn't try to hide it.
Its a tough choice.

Do you feel like you can still trust her? Because I think the best relationships are built on trust and compassion for each other.

How much do you like her? Enough to forgive her and give it another go?

How much has she hurt you? Too much to deal with it if it does happen again?

I think this is a situation where only you know the true answer. Of course we are all here to support you whatever your decision may be.

Good luck
If she banged someone else. Dump her.
Don't ever tolerate that.

Did she **** the guy?
Sorry to hear, never nice getting cheated on mate! :frown:

what type of cheating, because on holidays many people loose their inhabitions, and do silly things that mean nothing at all. If it was a kiss, it would be easier to forgive, but still the trust is gone, If it was more than a kiss, alot tougher to forget about and forgive.

It is really up to you what you do, if you love her and willing to give her a second chance, go for it, but if there is any doubt, there is no doubt on what you should do.

Basically she said she kissed someone else. She doesnt know why and she feels really bad. If she doesnt know why then theres nothing really to stop her doing it again. I will of course talk to her when i get back but its hard to trust someone ever again after theyve done that. She also sounds like she's already assumed its all over though, so not sure theres much talking to be done. Im not convinced she cares about me anymore and now i have to wait to find out as she isnt texting back.
Can the ho!

If she did, don't even meet her/ call her / answer. Or maybe thats harsh- actually it is- lsn to her first. But NO excuse for cheating. PERIOD!

hey i wouldnt worry too much about a kiss on holiday! its nothing tbh! if she had ****** the guy then that would have been the end of but try to forgive her mate. she also could have been drunk etc or there may be other explanations!
She could have kept this a secret, so the fact she mentioned it means she doesn't want to lose you. Just sit and wait till she gets back, then talk to over. Good luck :smile:

A kiss? Personally I wouldn’t even be bothered by that, she was on holiday for god’s sake! She was probably drunk.

Just milk it for all its worth, if she is feeling bad be the big man and tell her its ok this once.
She must regret it because she's told you straight away, and she could have easily kept it a secret from you. When she gets home have a chat with her, and try to sort things out from there :smile:

Depends what kind of cheating it was really and what state she was in at the time. Yes, cheating is cheating, but there are degrees of cheating some more forgiveable than others.

Rubbish! It's a complete breach of trust, she's done it once, what's to say she wouldn't do it again? Once you've cheated on somebody once you're also even more likely to do it again, because you got away with it once, what's to say you couldn't again? To the OP: tell her to sling her hook. You've only been going out two months, not a great loss. Any kind of cheating is completely unforgiveable.

Its my first relationship, at 18, and I have really really fallen for her. I already thought that i liked her more than she liked me but wasnt really sure. I guess i was quite jealous at the start when she was talking about her exes but i had definitely got over all that and saw our relationship as our own. We were getting on great and just before she left it was perfect. She said she'd send me loads of postcards and keep in contact whilst she was away but nothing has come before this, except a couple of texts saying she wasnt enjoying it there. I feel really really inadequate because if she was actually happy with me then theres no way she'd do it surely. Im getting quite worked up about it and have no way of sorting it until she gets back so I'm just in limbo at the moment, which is worse than anything :frown:.

Look at it this ywa, at least its only 2 months and not longer.
But saying that, being cheated on at any stage isn't good.

At least she told you though. Its shows that she wants to be honest with you.
Wait till she gets home and talk properly with her.
Well. is there a possibility that she faked it to see your reaction? (Sad I know but some people do that kinda thing)
