quiet-echo agony auntI agree with Grimm here. She's not confused. She just doesn't want you to be mad at her. She wants both you and the other guy. For now.

I agree with LazyGuy in that this relatonships is probably de-evolved to be based more on familiarity than on love and respect.

Options:

1. Part ways

2. If you're unwilling to part ways at this point, negotiate an open relationship. Not easy to do, but it can be done and beats all the compartmentalizing cheating does.

3. Keep things as they are, bide your time and ride this one out.

While I don't necessarily subscribe to the view that 'once a cheater, always a cheater' as a blanket philosophy that applies to everyone, one can't ignore the fact that once that line has been crossed, it is easier to cross it again.

GrimmReality agony auntlol....come on. You cheated..she cheated..and now she wants to keep the guy she cheated with as a friend? And is "confused"?

lol that translates into " I want to mess around with both of you"... I suggest you move on and learn a lesson from this that it takes commitment to make any relationship work.

Sorry young man, but this relationship is dead.

LazyGuy agony auntMissKin says it shows strength that you forgave each other... that is one interpretation. It isn't mine.

I think that the both of you are no longer in love, but in convenience. You been together for a long time especially considering your age and it seems neither of you think it is worth protecting anymore.

You both cheated. If she means the world to you, why did you cheat? The two don't go together.

Sometimes relationships end and cheating is a very clear sign the end is near.

A female reader, MissKin United Kingdom + , writes (1 November 2009):

MissKin agony auntSo you've cheated on each other. Obviously this isn't the greatest structure for a relationship but it shows strength that you've been able to forgive each other. You have to ask though, what made her cheat? If she really likes the guy, rather than if she just made a mistake... you can either break it off together and both move on, or let her make the decision about what she wants.
