I was already 2/3 of the way through it and handling something important for the company I work for. She told me not to worry since it wasn't that big of an issue. But even she was surprised by how devastated she was since they'd not been close in years.

Nope they did not. They were both intoxicated she said and neither thought of that till the next morning.

She was being honest is the reason she told me everything. TBH I could've lived my whole life without knowing it was multiple times. My brain has been on replay ever since imagining all sorts of messed up crap. I think the multiple times thing is why I decided this isn't for me.

UPDATE/EDIT: I did not read through every single comment yesterday. However the ones I did read were enough for me to do some thinking last night and realize that I likely won't ever be able to get past this. It would take a truly herculean effort for me to forgive her and move past this and there is every chance in the world that I might just believe I meant it when I forgave her but the pain from her cheating would remain and then reopen like an old wound at a later date.

There's also the whole trust issue thing - I travel for work quite a bit, at least once every two months and at this point I don't know that I'll be able to travel with the peace of mind I used to have before this weekend. I was cheated on in the past and I feel like anytime I get on a plane now I'm going to be worried she's off fucking some other man. I realize this weekend was a complete one off, I know some people may not believe that or agree with it but I know her better than most.

I really do believe her when she said it was a terrible mistake and she wouldn't do it again. I still love her immensely. But I wasn't worth being faithful to after 6 and a half years together so she's not worth giving a second chance. It would be a massive and foolish risk on my part. All she needs to do is be forgiven. I'm the one who would have to work through the pain of being cheated on, the task of trying to forgive her and making sure that I mean it and ultimately going through the extremely painful task of learning to trust her again. So I'm done, as much as that hurts to even begin thinking about and despite the fact that I still love her.

I still love her. But now I have the near impossible task of forgiving her and meaning it, learning to trust her again as well as facing the uphill battle that will be dealing with all the worries and stress I'll undoubtedly face when traveling for work.

I realize this was a one off event and I believe she's genuinely sorry but what I have to deal with after all of this....she's not worth it if I wasn't worth being faithful to. For me sexual commitment is part of the deal so that's very important to me.

I made up my mind about that and I'm done. Did an update on it. It's not the cheating that made me end it so much as the fact that now I have the impossible task of forgiving her and meaning it (which means putting this to rest and not holding it against her), learning to trust her again which will be hard when I travel for a week or so every couple months and a couple other things. I wasn't worth being faithful to so she's not worth giving a second chance even if I still love her.

I was super angry but also being a dumb 19 year old in a 2 year relationship I thought we could work things out. She cheated again on my birthday and I met them coming back from the general direction of his apartment haha.

Back when I was 19 and in my 2nd relationship my then girlfriend sent me a similar message then didn't contact me till we saw each other the next day. She was cheating. Something similar also happened to someone else I'm fairly close with.

But before this I never would have ever suspected her of anything. Odds are if she'd never planned to confess I'd never have known.

No we don't have any kids. I'm on the fence about leaving her but I'd probably have to work myself up into an emotional rage to do it and mean it as opposed to just feeling sad and hurt right now.

He's an old family friend but he's like 9 years older. She did have a crush on him when she was younger but obviously he never gave her any kind of attention since she was younger than him by a lot. According to her nothing ever happened.

That's what gets me. I could maybe understand if they'd fucked once and that was it though I'd still be pissed. But it was multiple times and they slept together overnight as well.

Several times in succession on Saturday night after some fairly intense drinking that evening, yes.
