VikkiDec1 agony auntIt seems like if your with this guy, your full of disappoints and fighting. You want to find the guy that won't disappoint you or be selfish at all. I know it will hurt so much to be single, but it will be better in the long run. And who knows, maybe when your least expecting it, the right guy will come along. It just takes alot of patience and always trust your gut.

Cheating is wrong. And the fact you cheated says a lot about this relationship. I'm sure you feel bad enough. But you need to stop sitting there in self pity for a moment and look at this guy for what he is. This is a guy who shows you no love, no real affection, shows no interest in knowing you or your friends, is selfish, promised a holiday and failed to deliver in three years. The list is pretty endless. Stop feeling crap about yourself so much, and wake up. This guy is no good for you. He treats you as if you're not even there. It's not a surprise you cheated. That was wrong, and you shouldn't have done it. But I understand why. The problem is that you will do it again, and again and again because you're so unsatisfied with your boyfriend. What is the point of having a boyfriend who doesn't care about you? The answer is that there is NO point. You need to take your own life in your hands here and get rid of him. Get back out there and meet someone better. But don't stay with this guy. He's no good. But by cheating on him, you're the one who gets to look back. Dump him and move on.
