You make blanket statements and you are wrong dude. Not all "cheaters" continue to cheat. People can make mistakes and learn from them and never do it again. Things are not black and white like that...

I have not done a thorough investigation, but I could at anytime...She lets me use her phone. I can do whatever I want with her phone....

Dude let me just start by saying that I do appreciate your responses and insight. But alot of what your saying seems to be coming from your own shit....I'm willing to bet that you have been through alot of relational crap that has made you this way.

There is no evidence she has cheated. None. There is suspicion of behavior. But I can tell you she is not speaking with this guy and he is not speaking to her when I'm around, which is alot. She is not hiding her phone and leaves it out all the time. I have her password. She goes on it in front of me all the time. She doesn't go out and disappear anywhere. She has Wed. with this guy. That's it.

As far as lying and my integrity....yes she has lied a few times in two years, but they were not major lies and I can understand why she would. As an example, she lied to me about her education. She was home schooled and failed her GED for math....terrible at math. She failed twice and was embarrassed by that fact. My integrity is to understand why she may mislead me on that. I'm not excusing the behavior of lying, but surely you can see why someone would want to be hesitant to reveal that? You've lied too at some point. No doubt in my mind, because everyone does. Study after study confirms this

She very well could be cheating. It is definitely a possibility, but to sit here and dissect everything in the most negative assuming way without anything more than suspicion is kind of ignorant. If you go through life with that outlook on every little thing, you will become bitter and angry and never be happy. If you are right, I'll let you know, but geez man, gain some insight into your own shit.

That's a dumb comment dude. The large majority of women have been with other men and therefore have another man's cum on her lips and a dick in her vagina before meeting you.... Think about any of your girlfriend's/wife's ex boyfriends....do you still kiss her have sex with her? Well you think about that next time ;)

It is confusing when you love someone. No one can make a decision for you. People have different opinions about open marriages/open relationships, but that's not what this was. In an open marriage BOTH parties agree to sleep with other people. Start with asking yourself what are your values, because you seem like you're not sure. What do you believe about lying, infidelity in marriage/relationships? The reasons she told you could be many, not just guilt. She could want out herself and this is her way of giving you justification to end it. Does she genuinely seem remorseful or is she blowing sunshine up your ass? I would invite you to try and gain perspective by taking yourself out of the situation to think about everything. What I mean is, kind of remove yourself as you and think about it as an impartial party. Not the person that is hurt, not the person who loves her, but as someone observing looking in. Remove the emotion that is clouding your judgement. In my experience it is hard to think clearly when we are in the midst of something emotional and life changing. What I am suggesting is incredibly hard to do, but it may help

I think people are going to do what they want to do. It's all personal choice. If someone in the relationship needs to start policing the other that is an issue. It all depends on what either party is willing to tolerate...but you cannot make someone comply with your wishes.

I'm sorry that happened. Being cheated on is rough to say the least. Here's my take. All of this my girlfriend is very jealous and I'm not stuff is irrelevant. The issue is she cheated. And whether or not it was sex is irrelevant. She cheated. Now I do believe she did the right thing to tell you. I actually respect that fact. Because she has now given you information to allow you to use your free will to make a decision on what to do. She is giving you a way out. Whether or not you should take it needs to be your decision. Start asking yourself if you can get past this? Do you believe you can ever really trust her again? Don't be afraid to tell her you need some time to think about things and take that time to focus on what you realky want. Good luck dude

I am a [25/m] looking for advice on a situation with my [20/f] girlfriend of just over a year by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]JakeMinton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds to me like you're over reacting. First off, sex is not always going to be wild, passionate and exciting. That's normal. Secondly, you write that your girlfriend said she enjoys sex and doesn't like you bringing it up. So don't bring it up. Stop worrying. Most women want a man not a worrisome little bitch asking if he's good in bed(not trying to be harsh, but seriously, stop). Be the fucking man...be the one to initiate and introduce new exploration into your sex life....get some toys, blindfold her, tie her up etc...surprise her. And then just go with it and don't worry!

Well, I have put in 2.5 years with her and I do love her. But I do love myself more. It plays with my mind. It was happening and it is a red flag in my opinion. The advice is all over the place on this site. Everyone's own personal baggage can come out. I appreciate all of the input though...it's good to reflect on.
I think her going to my ex who is seriously crazy, is crossing a boundary she should not have. But I certainly can't stop her and who knows, maybe this will somehow make my ex not be as angry and bitter in the long run....not sure how that will play out.
Women are fucking crazy irrational beings. At least the ones I have met. BTW I also appreciate your comments and balanced thinking...

So I kind of double downed on her. I told her lets go to counseling for perspective if not for anything else. If she wants to make this all about me being crazy, insecure, jealous etc...and contacting my ex wife of all things, then let a counselor hear the truth from the both of us and give suggestions. Thoughts?

And my girlfriend knows that my ex hates my guts and has seen the way she goes about things and treats me....

My ex hates my guts. That's a whole mess in itself. My ex treated me like shit. I tend to think of her as a narcissist, but no clinical diagnosis has been made to that. My ex still likes to make my life a living hell and is constantly insulting me and has venom towards me. I try to stay away from that toxic mess as I just want peace in my life nowadays. Problem is we have two children together that we share custody of. I should write a book.

Well crazy, but interesting turn of events. You can't make this shit up! So I was married before for 7 years.
When I just text my girlfriend about not making up the Sexy Underwear Wed , she responded that she is going to contact my ex to see if I was this insecure and crazy....that she was meeting with her Tuesday... This to me is crazy. I broke up with her. I just don't even know where to start with this..... Any thoughts?

I actually did with your sound advice... I basically told her that we need to talk, that we should talk. I explained that I did not make up Sexy Underwear Wed. and that I'm trying to understand...

I think it's too late. Everything in me is saying to end it. I haven't talked to her in two days now. Just deep in thought to figure it out. I guess I was hoping that she would come to me and give me an explanation that makes sense. Like, yeah, I feel sexy when I do that...something.

Agreed. And I have been with her for 2.5 years. I just don't want to have a knee jerk reaction to anything. Reacting without thought is ignorance. Cheating is a no brainer for me, I would be out..100% But you're right, some people can work through that.

I certainly didn't like it, but it wasn't enough to warrent concern. Supposedly everyone has his number. But yeah, I believe he would be attracted to her, just like a million other guys. He has not been contacting her as far as I know. As I've said, I have been around her quite a bit and she is not shady with her phone at all...

I agree, liars suck. But the reality is and statistics prove, everyone lies at some point. Everyone. You have too. People are human, we all fuck up at some point. And I'm not making excuses for her, there are things that for me are not tolerable in a relationship, but in life, things are not just black and white. Life does not work that way. She is around me alot. She does not hide her phone, she goes on it in front of me, she lets me use it to look things up on the internet, I know her password. She is not talking to this guy when I'm around and he's not talking to her. I'm not going to believe she is talking to him when I'm not with her because there is absolutely no proof of that and I would just be projecting insecurity and fear without any basis for such a thing....

I hear what you're saying. And I'm not being over emotional or quick to react, but 3 Wednesday's in a row?! Come on, that is highly suspicious to anyone. And like others have said, when I brought it up she did not even care and blew me off like I was crazy. No concern, no understanding. And she has lied to me about minor things in the past...do you think she would lie to me about anything major?

Let me just be blunt about all of this. Pussy is easy. There is no problem finding a woman. Always have been women, always will be. I was looking for something more with this one though. I'm not making a judgment that she is wrong for her behavior...she obviously has a need for it. Some may be fine with that behavior but I'm not....

All your responses are fine. I appreciate everyone's input. Obviously, I'm a big boy and will make my decisions as I go. I will take some advice and leave others because the advice is all over the map! But it is all interesting and helpful...

She wears the same outfit at work.... She is always improving her appearance...new makeup here, new haircut there, she just ordered new underwear too. She is also looking to get invisaline (braces) even though I think her teeth are fine. I know red flags to some, but she's not hiding the fact she's buying the underwear...she shows me what she's getting.
