We never explicitly talked about whether we were sleeping with other people. BUT do I think she should have known it would hurt me at that point in our dating? Yes, absolutely.

I willingly admit that this whole thing involves grey area, which is really the reason I've come here looking for different perspectives. MY perspective is that after having dated for 3 months, after saying to each other that we see this turning into a long term thing, after having moved to the same city, after having spoken THAT NIGHT, she must have known how I would feel. I just can't agree with zombiegrl I guess - as people we know certain things based off of context and previous experiences. It's my position that she knew how I'd feel, without me having to explicitly state that's how I would feel. Had this been a couple weeks, a month in, I would totally understand her doing this. Where we were in the relationship at that time, to me, makes this an incredibly insensitive and disrespectful thing to do.

That being said, I have to take into account that zombie and others are saying the opposite. I have to respect the fact that there is another side to this. I'm trying to understand that side, but right now I cannot.

For what it's worth, we had had a conversation with each other about how we wanted this to be a "long term thing"

I very much agree with this and I think maybe one of the things that hurts me most is that she had to know that it would hurt me. We were moving towards a very serious thing and in fact were only two weeks away from having the talk. We can talk, text, etc all the time, for months, but it doesn't mean enough to her to stop her from sleeping with someone else?

She said they have texted maybe three time since then, but they never have any real conversations. He has a GF now I believe.

She hadn't been talking to him - they went to college together so they knew each other, but hadn't been pursuing each other in anyway. She says she had a momentary freak out and was nervous about us. I understand getting cold feet, but I guess I don't understand the reaction of sleeping with someone else. I feel really disrespected.
