xanthic agony auntEven if men were 'designed' to have sex with as many women as possible, as one of the answers says, that doesn't justify the act of cheating. There are still such things as impulse control and morals, which is also part of being human.

Get as far away from him as possible. Not only can he not be trusted, he obviously has some very serious emotional issues.

You're not responsible for any harm he inflicts upon himself. Don't let feeling guilty about that be the reason you take him back.

A male reader, anonymous, writes (21 June 2010):

Well. It is nature's design that men want to have sex with as many women, that they consider attractive, as they can get. That is because men carry sperm while women carry eggs. No philosophy or theory could work as a counter arguement versus the nature of human beings. If you want to get a man that does not "cheat", you have probably watched too much television or you are attracted to same-sex quallities.

Even though, your inconsiderate act of breaking up with him just because he did what his body was designed to do brought to surface a potentially dangerous and totally dishonest aspect of his personality.

I would not want to be close to people who lie to me or are capable of becoming violent over such trivial matters. You should also ask for monthly std checks in any kind of erotic relationship you might have in the future, since our gender is meant to have sex casually with a lot of female partners

Continue to ignore him and do NOT give him another chance. Don't even allow him to be your friend. Someone who cheats on you like that--over a span of 3.5 months is not someone who cares about you. Do not succumb to his pathetic manipulation of that ounce of feelings you still have for him.

Tisha-1 agony auntHe sounds like a loser. Lying to her AND lying to you. Yuck. If he'd been my boyfriend, he'd now be my ex-boyfriend. Buh-bye.

And the ridiculous self-harming scene? That's really low emotional blackmail, IF it happened. It's more likely HER current boyfriend found out and beat him up. I'm sorry, but I have never heard of anyone committing suicide by beating himself up. That's ridiculous.

Who needs drama from a liar and a cheat? Yuck.

raiders agony auntLet him go he cheated on you and now is trying to manipulate you by threatening to hurt himself. Not worth the headache he cheated on you ask him to man up.

Accountable agony auntLet him go.

First of all, he was with her "only for sex"? How does that justify him cheating of you? Who cares if he wasnt planning to leave you for her; he was sneaking around behind your back and clearly thinks its justifiable. Which it isnt.

Secondly, his behaviour after you found out seems like extreme emotional blackmail. He was trying to get you back by threatening suicide - that is NOT a fair pressure to put on you. I have dealt with people like this before, and in my experience its just an attempt to guilt you and control you. Dont feel that you are responsible for what he chooses to do to himself.

Obviously its your decision, but I would urge you to cut your connection with this guy, and find somebody more stable, who values you enough to never dream of cheating on you.

Good luck x

C. Grant agony auntHmmm, so the thinks cheating is OK if it's "just for sex"? And what happens the next time he "just" wants sex with someone else? Sounds like he's only upset because he got caught, and he'll be more careful not to get caught next time.

YouWish agony auntDrop him. He is manipulating you with his suicide threats and self harm. He doesn't love you if he's lying and being with his ex. He's the worst kind of selfish jerk.

You have no obligation to help him. Do NOT give him any chances. He carried out a LONG TERM cheating with his ex, and was telling her he didn't care about you. He's not worth your time.

You need to be with someone who cares enough about you to remain faithful. Nothing less. This guy is lint on your shoe.
