Question - (28 June 2008) 1 Answers - (Newest, 29 June 2008)
A male United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

Four months ago I got back together with my ex,who is a good friend that I've known all my life. We never made it official, because we knew the relationship was going to have to end soon when she left town for 6 months. Despite this we agreed to be committed to eachother and went on to spend all of our time together. She told me she loved me, I told her I loved her, we both said we felt like we were a great couple and could really go the distance.

A week ago I found out that she had unprotected sex with a stranger, who has a girlfriend, a month ago. She claims she was blacked out and would never really do this, she seems legitimately sorry. She says that she was hurting because she wanted to remain together, while I was adamant that we stick to our plan and not try the long distance thing before our relationship had even gotten off the ground. While she admits to being wrong, she says it was the pain of feeling like I didn't want to be with her that must have made this possible. Problem is that I don't feel like I can believe her, and don't believe i can trust anything she's ever said to me. She wants me to give her the opportunity to rebuild my trust. Part of me wants to because I love and miss her, but we've all been told that cheaters cheat, and I never want to let this happen again. Any insight?

I have lived through a similar situation. I would happily tell you all about it and give you my insight, but my little sister is on this site sometimes and it wouldn't be appropriate for me to post it.

If you click on my image you can find a link to email me privatley and I will tell you then.
