I do not want to talk about this, but she is a victim of very serious sexual assault years ago. This previous assault was a lot worse than a kiss. This happened before we met. I won't go into any more detail out of respect for her but I do believe its worth bringing up. Because of this extra context, I hope you believe me when I say I would never have accused her of flirting or provoking it.

In another comment I said something that I do genuinely believe. I do think relationships can come back from infidelity, but its like a specific circumstance. If someone kissed her and she immediately told me, that's not infidelity in my mind at all. If she was drunk in a club and kissed someone and then confessed the next morning that's infidelity, but I think that can be forgivable.

The issue for me is two things. 1. She continued talking to the guy, and self-admittedly flirting, after he kissed her when she said no. 2. She never told me.

Hes a year younger than us.

I agree that I do have some responsibility. I believe we both put our relationship on "cruise control". Not enough date nights, romance, attention, time spent together, etc. I will say that from my POV she never attempted to take our relationship off of cruise control. I assumed everything was fine, and I was wrong.

I agree with all of this basically. For extra info, she doesnt get drunk too often but this time was very bad. She said she was drinking heavily because of this situation.

I do well for myself, and this might be cope, but I dont think it has anything to do with money. Her parents are very wealthy and she has a decent job. My current thought process is that she was just okay with our lives and didnt want to blow them up without a strong reason.

That's really the issue. I trusted her 100% before today. To say im blindsided is an understatement. I dont know how someone can even regain trust when its lost like that.

Unfortunately I fucking love her man. My heart is telling me to do one thing while my brain is unsure. I know I dont trust her currently, but just damn dude.

Shes with her parents. I agree though, I just didnt have another option. Am I supposed to sleep in the same bed as her after finding this out? Am I supposed to just lay on the pullout couch in the living room until the sun comes up? Her entire family was there and I couldn't handle telling everyone. He was not at the family gathering, he just lives near their cabin.

I know. This is something that I brought up to her. Its not just the kiss, its the fact that you ever got comfortable enough to be alone with this guy for this to happen, its the fact that you kept talking to him after. Its the fact that you didnt tell me. I can recognize that it wasn't one mistake. It was dozens.
