Question.... I met a girl about 5 months ago. She was in a loveless marriage, had random affairs etc. We used to tell each other what we were upto etc... It was very sexual. Anyway we ended up catching up for little sessions so to speak. Anyway during this time her husband left and in a way were catching up. However there was no label, I told everyone it was what it was, just friends etc. In fact I was pretty stubborn. I had been burnt before. Anyway she met me down at a pub in March, with my mates . I probably played too cool , she had met my mates and I was being very casual. In fact i hardly showed attention. I must admit later on night I was doing my own thing. By late night she was dancing with my friends. I probably started to feel jealous with one mate and they were quite rauncjy on dance floor. Rather than confront it I left . Went home with the Fuck it attitude. She called me about 4 times. I knew she may be stuck to get home and my mate lived close by.. by morning I wasn't silly to think that's where she stayed so I txt her ... She rammed it into me that I left her there. I asked where she stayed and she said the lounge at his place. She was upset and wanted to come around and see me . I said no, I wasnt happy. But that day she was a mess and asked me to be with her properly, put it out there, no more secrets. My mate even rang me and said where did u go, all good , looked after her. Anyway I decided to be with her properly. Last 6 weeks have been great , I had asked her few times bout that night and she denied it. We all socialized but it always lingered. Last week she was at my place , left her Facebook open and i saw msgs to her friend which confirmed it that she was talking to a friend how much she wanted me, what happened, mistake etc... I felt yuk. I ended it. And told her... She has been heartbroken and has been fighting for me. I have slowly let her back in but really I have a poker face. I can't trust. But do i tell my mate I know. He has his own issues with a girl, but I know one night i could let it out. Not sure what to do.

You are definitely at fault here for treating her badly.

But having said that, her sleeping with your friend? I think that is a pretty low thing for both of them to have done to you. I would never sleep with my friend's girl even if they were breaking up. It's just against the rules. Same for her actions, she should not be getting with your friends even if you were breaking up. It's a matter of being decent to each other.

Her and your friend both lying to you about it, that just confirms the kind of people you are dealing with. I wouldn't trust either of them ever again.

Thanks aunty em. You do make sense and I take my pride I had and respect how it can happen. Trouble is I love hanging with her, but I can't stop thinking it will happen again. As mentioned earlier we both met in a time where she was having affairs. I just came out of being a married girls playtoy until I told her where to go. But my current girl, even when we first met we would openly talk about people we had met( not just sexual, but people that were interested) and when she did leave her husband was just us even though I was so sceptical if what we were. And then of course the night with mt mate, even though i take a lot of the blame, I can't look at her the same, yet I want too. I've lived alone for 10 years and i just wait for it to happen again. She even yesterday wanted ti confirm us on Facebook as a relationship , and i did but I'm not sure if I truly want it or its just a poker face. I don't want ti be a guy that questions her , or doesn't trust , even fooling around, I have my mate in my head the whole time and I'm not into it, preferring to finish as quick as possible. I will note, I have very strong feelings for her and love her company. I'm just not sure regardless of how's and why's ill ever look at her with the same magic

AuntyEm agony auntIf you have feelings and want to be with her then it's time to draw a line in the sand, forget the past and give eachother a new slate...who knows, it might take flight. I do believe where there is love on both sides, anything can be overcome.

If you want her, go get her, but consider today the first day of the rest of your life.

Best of luck.

You have no good position to defend here. That evening you made it clear to your mate and gf that you didn't care about her. What happened just happened and the only mug was you because you messed everything up. Don't try to blame your mate or gf. You just need to say sorry to both of them and get on with your lives.

Thanks for replies especially auntie em...

yes you are right on so many counts. I did ignore. Maybe my guard was up , whatever the case you are spot on... Obviously after that night she did contact me and wanted us to ' put it out there'. And last 6 weeks have or were great until this.

She has fought for me because we did grow and was just starting to let my wall down.

I was in a affair for a long time with anothergirl and all but crushed my trust so treating her very casually was my protection. To answer your question I do have strong feelings for her . But I'm trying to get the magic back. We both have soul searched and I'm trying to get that back. Your right that it wouldn't of happened if we had been upfront but I know she hates herself now for doing it...

We both come from casual affair backgrounds and she has said she never felt this before, hence it hit hard. I did tell my mate. He was shattered too and only said mate, I thought there was nothing with you two. There obviously was and I knew he wouldn't of done it if he knew it tried .... It's just I gotta live with that now

So u have more issues that she cheated on you with your friend than her being a casual/random adulterer.

Mr OP, this woman is used to sleeping around. She had numerous affairs while married. She just met your friend and she slept with him the same night!!!! For her sex is something she casually gives away. She did it while married and she will continue to do it. What don't you understand? This woman has no morals, no concept of faithfulness, no conscious. YOU cannot and will not change her: once a cheater ,always a cheater in her case. You need to understand this. But if you are willing to share her with all your friends(and I'm sure she will be easy to share) then by all means invest your life with her.

OP I'm just glad her husband is out of this mess. Its your turn now for her "random affairs". Ouch!

You ignored her completely. She rang you loads. She only had the option of going back with him; You should have paid her more attention so your mate would know to back off

AuntyEm agony auntHmmm...

There are two statuses where relationships are concerned.

Together or NOT together.

When she had sex with your mate, you were NOT together...you were just casual fuck buddies.

When you decided to be Together with her...all that happened should have been left at the door...clean slate...end of.

But in a way she'd lied to you...she didn't lie because she was deceiving you...she lied because the other guy was a mistake, she had no idea you were going to say 'YES' to being Together with her and she didn't want to hurt you.

You have behaved badly with her but she has grown feelings for you. Nowhere in your post have you said you have feelings for her...so the 'Together' thing doesn't really mean anything to you...it's like a game and one you immediately walked away from when you found out she'd had sex with the other guy.

It's a mess and she is going to end up being very very hurt.

Men do this all the time (and some women)They hold on to a woman even if they don't want to be with her. They will have sex with her and won't want any other guy to have her...but they still won't make a commitment...It's shabby, confusing and messes with people's heads.

She owes you nothing, it should be her NOT trusting you to be honest, because you arn't honest and all you can think about is telling your mate that you know??...why bother???

You don't love her, you don't want her (apart from sex) and you don't trust her...You need to walk away.

janniepeg agony auntShe is not your girl and or a girl anybody should be seeing except her husband. There is nothing proper and nothing to trust in an affair. Do not fool yourself that this is more than an affair. If you tell your mate that you know what he did he will be like so? He is committing adultery as much as you are. That yuck feeling. Guess who suffers the most yuck feeling? Her husband.
