Uh, WHY did you need to flirt with a girl online when you HAVE a girlfriend that says that she LOVES YOU????

It's not JUST FACEBOOK. Facebook has led to many breakups in relationships.

You crossed the line by flirting with another woman.

You need to grow a pair and man up to the mistakes that you have made with your girlfriend.

You hurt her badly by your irresponsible behavior and actions. Of course, she in not there for you...you weren't there for her when you had your mind on flirting with other women.

Ask yourself, would you be okay if she was flirting with men online and saw it as nothing really and harmless??

All you can do at this point is ask her for forgiveness and promise NEVER to do that again and mean it. You will have a long road ahead to prove to her that you mean what you say. That is if she does forgive you at all. Be prepared that she may never come back to you and that you may have lost her forever.

A woman needs to know that she is number one to her man. She needs to feel secure in a relationship. It's not fair that she should have to compete with other women for your attention.

This should be a hard lesson learned. If you want to have a true relationship your number one priority is to give that person your attention and time. A relationship needs to be nurtured. No one said a relationship would be easy. It's a partnership and problems need to be discussed and worked out together. But never ever flirt with other women if you want to have a sustainable relationship at all.

Dude seriously?! U want to leave her for being jealous? What did you think as going to.happen when she found out? You thought she was going to smile and say I like the.fact you are flirting with other women it really make me feels special? R u really that delusional? Just like you are wondering if she is sleeping with someone else and you are now paranoid. How do you think she felt?! It you want to be in a committed relationship, no flirting, sexting, or any type of romantic online anything. You betrayed her. You may have to also except.the fact that she may not take you back. Best of luck to you.

'Gf saw me flirt with a girl online'

' those other girls dont mean shi*, '

So it's more than a one off, you have flirted with several girls. You did betray your GF, you broke her trust. That crosses a line that it's up to your GF to draw. She obviously isn't happy being with someone who flirts with other people.

All you can do is apologise for screwing up so badly and hope that she can forgive you and learn to trust you again. However you actually have to BE sorry, not just say the words and you have to be prepared to change your behaviour. After all that effort she may still decide that you're not worth it.

Aunty BimBim agony auntYou were going to break up with her due to her reaction to your flirting. And then you decided not to.

The fact she saw your flirting/cheating on line was just the start .... I have a feeling whatever happened during the two weeks between her seeing your flirting and your deciding not to break up with her is what decided her to move out for a while.

You sound as if you expect her to just lay down and take whatever you dish out, and are quite dismissive of her feelings.

I don't think she is playing a game, I think she is seriously considering what she wants from life.

What you failed to realise when she told you how much she loved you, she wasn't saying I will love you forever, regardless of how you treat me, she was saying I will love you forever unless you give me reasons not to.

You should use this time to also seriously consider what you want from life.

Flirting with another girl online definately 'crossed the line.' you might not consider it cheating, but SHE DOES.

I think you should sincerely apologize to her and take things from there.

Sorry but you did betray her trust by openly flirting with women on facebook, if my husband done that id be upset! To be fair i think shes a bit silly to just vanish but can you really blame her for being paranoid? You gave her a reason to be paranoid by doing what you did. If you go looking for flirtatious convo online then whos to say you wont take it futher! Im afraid that you should probably expect to be broken up with over this if shes dissapeared, as she certainly doesnt seem to want to speak to you.

Sorry buddy, but you cheated mentally...although not physically. As far a women are concerned, that is the first step to crossing a line. She saw a red flag, and ran. She is not jealous, she is protecting herself.
