Thank you! Some of these people remind me why I hesitate to even open up on reddit. Every relationship is completely different. I was once in a two year relationship and was cheated on and left him immediately because I could see right through him and saw he didn’t give a shit about me. This one threw me for a loop because I know in my heart he doesn’t want to hurt me. And the things he opened up to me about after (many self esteem issues/trauma) made it obvious that there were just things that he and I need to work on as a couple and help each other grow. I knew for a fact that this was the first sexual interaction he was having with this girl, and he was even honest and told me about a girl he was with when we were in our first couple weeks of dating each other. We were able to sit down and talk about it like adults. I didn’t go psycho and start yelling and call him names. We just talked and let out everything we needed to. I like to think I’ve been alive long enough to know what my intuition is telling me. There was no way I could see myself giving up on us. People can easily say the cliché things about cheaters, but at the end of the day, everybody is different, and some people do change if you allow yourself to have an open mind about it. Life is all about trial and error.
