Any advice is much appreciated!
My bf and I started dating in may 2019-September 2019. While we were together, I practically had a whole other virtual relationship with someone from a different state, who I only met once in person. I cheated by having this other relationship. Afterwards my bf and I ended up breaking up for other reasons. I never told him about the cheating. We lost touch. In December 2019 we decided to get back together and I still didn’t tell him about my infidelity because I knew it was something I wouldn’t ever do again. I regretted it so much and I didn’t want to put it upon him if I knew I wouldn’t do it again. We have been together for a year now and in January of 2021. He found out about the infidelity and has been giving me silent treatment since. He hasn’t broken up with me, blocked me on social media, but he just isn’t speaking to me. He always had a feeling I had cheated and gave me multiple chances to come clean but I didn’t. I thought I was protecting our relationship. I’m not sure what to do. I’ve asked him straight up what he wants but no reply. I text him every couple days so he knows I’m still trying. But I’m not sure what else to do. It’s been 7 weeks now. I’m such a horrible person for this. Ugh.
I am curious to see the replies!! I was about to write my own story and came across yours... What can I say, you have exactly the same story as mine! Except... I am in the position if your boyfriend!
I actually have similar story to you...we were together for a year and I met a guy who said he knew my ex. And so we started talking and we had a flirtationship. My ex then hacked my phone and saw that I was flirting with this guy. He got really upset and wasn't talking to me for a couple of days. And so I decided that he deserved someone better because he really was amazing, he was my everything. And so I let go. And it still hurts to this day. I wished i was a better person.but most of all I wish I never let go. So my advice to u is that you give him time to think and try to sort things out. If it doesn't work out at least end it on friendly terms. If it's meant to be you'll end up back together. Hope this helps
I dont get why some people feel the need to chat with other people when in a relationship with someone.. could you try to explain
I think it’s different for every situation. There’s no right explanation for it. There never will be. There just isn’t any excuse for cheating. I feel like I had just moved to Arizona and he was the first guy I met there. We got serious fast so I guess idk. I was new to a big city and didn’t want to be locked down so fast. I know that sounds horrible. I regret it so much too. Which is why I hid it when we got back together. I knew I wouldn’t do it ever again and that it was a mistake
