My ex of nearly two months still thinks I cheated on him. I keep on telling him I didn’t but he doesn’t believe me. The thing is I had this guy on my phone he was interested in me but I was interested in my ex eye dated 7 months and the first 3 months were so good and then I told my ex I have this guy who is trying to flirt with me, I said I told him- and I did- my ex later asked for my phone and I immediately went to the other guy’s messages, I showed my ex look how I told him- the thing is I was so annoyed with the guy that I went sarcastic- so my ex thought I was flirting but I thought he knew I was sarcastic. I admit I should have been straight forward with the guy and got rid of him, I just thought that was overreacting but now I wish I did…now my ex says I knew what I was doing … And said he only stayed the 4 months so he wouldn’t hurt my feelings….I know in my heart I didn’t cheat on my ex but he doesn’t see it like that…so how do I make him believe me, I love him and I really want us again..

I live 3 doors away from my ex so the part about not seeing him for 30 days is hard. What do I do? I cant move out either as I have just signed a lease. I know I can not talk for 30 days but I will see him. Help!

I cheated on my boyfriend in the summer and I lied to him about it because I was afraid of hurting and losing him. He just recently found out by telling me he heard from someone else the truth and I confessed, he then later said noone told him anything he just knew and wanted the truth. He was my absolute bestfriend and it killed me everyday I saw him that he didn’t know the truth but I got some advice from a few people and they told me to “take that shit to the grave” which now I regret listening to them 100 percent. We spent every weekend together with back to back sleepovers and he was honestly the love of my life. After finding out the truth (over Facebook) he continued to call me a hoe, slut, whore, bitch, etc… And told me he absolutely hated me and didn’t want to be with me and he was gunna fuck other girls right away. Like I said before, he’s the love of my life and I can’t lose him. Should I listen to your advice on this page or can you give me other ideas what to do to get him back?

I sexted a younger very hot guy from Adult Friend Finder. I have a fetish watching men masturbate and my boyfriend wouldn’t do it anymore for me and he is 39 and works swing shift so he is tired a lot and I always want sex because he is so hot and smells so good. So my dumb ass impulsively gave this younger man from AFF my number and we text. It wasn’t even really sexting,more like talking about my current relationship and why I was even texting him in the first place. I sent him a pic of my,well,you know,haha,and when he tried to call I didn’t answer. The whole time I couldn’t stop thinking about my boyfriend and how he had been cheated on in every single relationship except ours. I thought,”What am I doing?! This is wrong”. I deleted my account on AFF and changed my number. But…. I forgot to erase my texts and a month later,my boyfriend,now ex for a month now,read the messages and seen the pic. I didn’t lie to him. I told him everything though at first he accused me of lying because I really didn’t know what he was talking about. I had to search for the messages as I scrolled down to the bottom. My point is,I didn’t cheat physically and I knew it was wrong so I stopped before it got out of hand. I feel proud of myself for bring faithful and resisting temptation. I could have met up for sex with this guy. But,I could not. Now,I’m stuck in the friend zone. We talk everyday. We still share everything. But,he won’t see me. We were together for four years. We love the same music,we had our “things” like going exploring together,fishing,camping,hiking,biking,etc. Things he never did with his ex’s. And the sex was amazing! I wish I could talk to ya over the phone or text because there are some important things I need to tell you so that you can get a more in depth look at the situation. This man is very emotional and sensitive. He is a moody Pisces. If I do the 30 day no contact,it will make him even more angry because he likes to be chased. He was mad before because I didn’t chase him.

I cheated on my boyfriend! It was the worst mistake of my life. It started around the end of December. There was a guy at work that was treating me really nice. He was showing me attention and messaging me and I got those butterflies in my tummy. He told me how sexy I was and sent me photos over the phone, which I sent them back but not naked ones… but still showing my figure. I didn’t really think anything of it to be honest. It just gave me confidence… Which seeing’s as I had put on a lot of weight over the last 12 months was something that I was lacking.
Then I had to have a procedure which I was very nervous about. I get very worked up, probably over think things like this, and always think the worst. I left my doctors referral letter at home by mistake and told my bf to go pick it up for me. So he dropped it off and said he would be back soon.
I left my mobile phone in the car, so I had no way to contact him. After about 45 minutes to an hour I asked the desk if I could call him as by this stage I was worried. I called him to find out that he was at home and that he wasn’t coming back. Granted I cracked the shits and didn’t ask him to come back. But I was really upset by this stage. I felt like he had let me down again. So I went back and sat down, and I felt like I had no one. I have never felt this alone (up until now) in a long time.
In the end they nearly didn’t perform the producer as my heart was beating irregular and they were concerned. And all I could think about was why wasn’t he here? He knows how scared I was? I know it was a procedure that most people get but that didn’t make me feel any easier about it.
He came and picked me up and he had a fight on the way home which left me alone at home as I was really angry. I have been angry before but this time I was really really really mad. How could be leave me when I waited with him only a couple of weeks ago with his dad and mum at the eye hospital as his dad was really sick and I kept his mum company? How?
Then I got some phone calls from my friends, as I was meant to go to a party that night, but I wasn’t feeling very well. Then the guy from work called me and asked me how I was and if I felt ok and if there was anything that he could do for me. This is what I wanted from my boyfriend. This is the reactions that I wanted from him and only him.
What I didn’t know at the time was before he left me at home, he went and spoke to my sister. He had gone through my phone while I had my procedure and saw that I had been messaging the guy at work and sending him pictures of myself, My sister said it must had been a phase I was going through. And now looking at it, it really was. I never had feelings for the guy. Yes he was good looking and yes he has a body on him but he has no qualities that interest me whatsoever. The attraction was that he called me sexy and asked the right questions when I wanted them asked. And I know that sounds really weak ☹
Anyway a little over a week later I cheated on my bf 🙁 I regretted the actions, but I told a lie to my boyfriend about cheating on him. He went through my phone again and found that I had. He doesn’t believe me when I said I was going to tell him… To be honest I was having trouble believing I had done it. But the truth was I was going to tell him… I couldn’t live with that and not telling him.
So we said he loved me and couldn’t live without me and I said the same thing too. I can’t. So we were working things out, well so I thought. I was still messaging the guy, I know, most of it was to do with work but there was still messaged that were about personal things like what he was doing outside of work. My bf knew about it and asked me, as his only request to stop messaging him. And I made the stupid mistake of not. Through the month I made some more poor discussions… I wasn’t handling this situation very well, and was trying to push it back in my mind that nothing had happened…
I asked my bf on several occusions if he wanted to talk about, which couple of times we did and then he said he didn’t want to hear it anymore. We went away on a day trip and everything was great 🙂
Towards the end of January I rang him really early one morning and said that I was so so so sorry the way I acted, and that I made some terrible mistakes and that Im really sorry. I told him that my behaviour was not expectable. But it was to late…
5 days later he broke up with me, and the worst part is if I had done this all a month ago I wouldn’t be in the situation I’m in now. I have tried to each out to him, and i have said that he is the only one, and that I’m willing to wait for him… but he saids that he loves me more then anything in this world… and that right now he can’t be with me as I made him play his hand and that he feels so betrayed.
We had a couple of physical moments, and he says that all the right things to be and afterwards he tells me all he needs is time and that he wants to work it out, and then the next time I see him its all back to square one where he says I don’t think I can work through the etc… Im getting so confused and upset…
Its been 12 days since we broke up, I have messaged him, he’s called me, I’ve seen him… He came over an hour ago and said the he loves me but can’t be with me… he also had land together and house plans which he is planning on cancelling…
I feel like i haven’t given him space, but in the sametime if I give him space I feel like I’m losing him. Im not eating, sleeping or anything at the moment… I love him so much, and I regret everything I did, and I know I didn’t handle myself well… But I would honestly do anything to reconnect with him as I know the love is still there… ANYTHING
Help 🙁

Ok so. You know how you wrote “Most women will cheat because their emotional needs aren’t met.” Well in my situation…
My boyfriend is selfish. I mean really selfish. But when it comes to me and his daughter, it’s a little different. One day, I tried to talk to him about how I felt; how I thought he was selfish and everything. He took highly offense to it. After the word “selfish” came out of my mouth, he no longer wanted to continue the conversation. I kept trying to reach him by talking and he still didn’t want to talk about it. So that kinda made feelings spiral a little downward.
the next day I left the conversation alone that we shared the other day. I thought “There’s no need to keep trying to explain why I feel this way. So I give up on that conversation.” But ever since then he’s been kind of… avoiding me. I had no idea why. I just thought he was changing on me. He would leave the house without telling me where he’s going, he would hang out with friends every chance he got – and would hang out all morning (till 5 or 7 in the morning). I kind of let it slide. But then he would start arguments with me like, “Why are you not talking to me?” Kind of thing or “Now you’re ignoring me?” I didn’t know what or where he was trying to get at with his very particular questions. I just blew it off like “Sure. If you say so.” I felt as if he was being very distant with me that whole week so I didn’t want to talk to him – out of anger.
Then the next day. On Valentines Day. We went to the mall to go shopping for our daughter. Once again he was being very distant with me then. I didn’t say anything about it because I wasn’t sure what his problem was but I could feel the vibe. It was definitely comming on strong. But the tension kind of eased up at the end of the shopping trip. He was a little more friendly with words and everything. But when we got home and started to drink and listen to music, he kept hinting that he knew something I didn’t want him to know about. But at the time I still wasn’t quite sure what his problem was. I thought HE was hiding something. So I grabbed his phone and tried to take a look through it. Without even knowing what I was about to do with his phone, he snatched his phone out of my hands. I got pissed off about that and started accusing HIM of hiding something in his phone. That’s when he started throwing hints like it’s me hiding things from him. I started to think about it and asked him, “What am I hiding?” and he looked at me and said, “You know what you’re hiding.” It really didn’t dawn on me, so I asked him again. He just left out of the room and let me think on it. So I thought, “What could I possibly be hiding from him?” Then it all hit me like “Oh he’s talking about the text messages that I sent to those men. He must have read all of them and every part of them.” So I kind of started to panic a little because I sent some very private messages to them – well not any nudity or anything, but photos? Yes. Planning dates to see them? Yes. But I wasn’t gonna actually see these guys. I just texted these guys out of anger. My man wasn’t being affectionate or just being there. Period. And on top of all of my feelings, he started being very distant with me. I started to panic a again. But then my panic went way down. I started thinking like, “Well he deserves it. He hasn’t been treating me like a girlfriend any ways.” But then I started to think like, “That’s why he’s been so distant. That’s why he hasn’t been wanting sex lately. And I thought it was him all along.” We didn’t say anything about it for the rest of that night. We just continued to drink and have a nice Valentines Day with family.
Then the next day. We were kind of cool. He didn’t say anything to me when I got home from work. He didn’t give me a hug or a kiss – but he never does that any way. I just sat in the kitchen and talked with my family members who came to visit. Then later on that night around ten. While We were laying in bed, he didn’t even want to put his arm around me. He wasn’t being very blunt with his feelings or anything but usually when we lie down next to each other he puts his arm on my waist. But I didn’t take it too personal. I thought he just didn’t want to be bothered or something. He eventually got up to use the bathroom and I heard him get a call. I could hear the whole conversation. It was one of his buds asking him if he was ready to “turn up.” I became so angry because I wanted to lay down and go to sleep next to him. So any ways, his friend was outside waiting for him to come out. He got ready and left. I was so pissed. I started texting other guys and everything. But I wasn’t gonna have them come over or anything because I have a little girl and I’m definitely not trying to have her around strangers. So I’m sleeping in bed all alone. I grab my daughter and lay her next to me in bed and start cuddling with her. I wake up every hour looking for my boyfriend. It’s three o’clock in the morning and he still didn’t come home. Then four o’clock passes…Then five o’clock passes…He comes home around 5:46. But this time I’m extremely pissed. And tired. So as I’m waiting for him to come to bed. I dozed off. The next thing you know, he’s laying down behind me all snuggled up. When I wake up and realize he’s in bed I forget about being angry and hold his hand. He gets very mad and says, “So now you’re touching me?” I frowned and said, “I guess so.” He took that to offense and asked me, “So what’s that supposed to mean?” I pause a little and take a deep breath. Then I say, “I guess it means I’m happy you’re home.” Then he just asked me out of nowhere, “Are you seeing someone else?”
I shook my head and said, “No. I’m not seeing anyone else.” He lets go of my hand and asks again, “Are you sure?”
I shake my head and say, “Yes, I’m sure.”
“I seen the text.”
“I’m not seeing anyone else, ____(name).”
And it just went on from there. I then explained to him the reason why I text the other guys and he started to feel guilty. Then kept saying how he may not be able to trust me and how I betrayed him. I felt so sorry because this is my first time ever actually going to another man for love. That doesn’t mean that my boyfriend has been a very good man to me in the past. Because I’ve been feeling this way for a LONG time. I just wanted to see if he’d change and plus I’ve just never took the time to actually start talking to another man who made me feel like myself again. So I explained to him how I felt about our relationship and once again he felt so guilty.
So maybe me talking to other guys brought us a little closer but a little further apart at the same time. I just know after that argument we had over me texting other guys lead him to cuddling with me and kissing me. I was kind of glad that we had that conversation. But as for the betrayal, I know that I have a long time to make that up.

So.. I started dating my boyfriend right after I got out of engagement.. (For cheating and bad treatment) my boyfriend was everything I ever wanted. To a T. But at the time I still had lingering feelings for my x fiancé. My x fiancé was doing everything to get me back, and because of court (joint custody reasons) we unfortunately had to be in the same room. He convinced me to allow him to talk to me, I agreed. And unfortunately I cheated on my boyfriend, to fix my broken “family”. Well, I realized that I had left my x fiancé for certain reasons, that were proven to me over and over that wouldn’t change. So as soon as I told my x fiancé I didn’t want to patch up the broken bridge, he told my boyfriend what happend between us. My boyfriend of course hated me, but still spoke to me a couple days after the fact, I have seen him since, and we talk everyday, and I have apologized until I turned blue in the face, so your 30 day, no apology rule, are too late in my case. It’s been around 3 months now.. And it seems like his getting very distant, emotionally. I know what it feels like to be cheated on, my x fiancé did it to me, so I understand his really hurt. ( and I know I committed the most horrible mistake ever… And I can’t believe I did it knowing exactly what it feels like on the other end) Oh little detail u left out, we live in different states, so it’s a long distance relationship. I do not know what to do to gain his trust back, specially living so far away. He was closer to me right after it happened then he is now. I want him back, I do love him, and he is exactly what I want. He has made it clear that if his worth it I’ll do what it takes to show him I want to be with him, and gain his trust back. But has also made it clear that it will be very difficult since loyalty is number one thing in a relationship for him… Somewhere deep down I’m still…. hopeful…. Any help will be greatly appreciated

I cheated on my boyfriend and we’ve tried to sort something’s out but said I have to gain his trust back if we were to try again one minute then saying he can’t do it another, but I’m still trying to prove to him that I want to be with him, but cause I’ve been stressed out for other reasons he thinks its to do with the cheating, but I’ve lost contact with that person and shown him that, but he went to one of my girl friends and wanted to chat to her about things and I know this girl will tell him to leave me as she can be nasty and only thinks about herself, she knows how much I like him and what it would do to me if we didn’t get back together, so how can I prove to him that he’s the only person I want to be with and what the girl is saying isn’t true ?

it was a long distance relationship, the time difference and everything made it all very difficult. i couldnt handle the fact that he might cheat on me *because he cheated on his ex to be with me* so i guess i beat him to it…with a guy that supposedly loved me a lot…

he came to know about what i did to him two days before. and i’ve already sent him 3 lon messages. he has blocked me on facebook, skype even on gmail.. he insulted me bitterly before doing all this. if I wait for too many days(30 days) to talk to him,he would say i pissed off him and now coming to him uselessly..
i can be really sure about this because when I don’t talk to him for 2 days he reacts bitterly just because i’ve been far from him..he says he is not a game etc..
so..I just can’t wait for 30 days..he will surely move on..
what should I do??
how do I gain his trust again?? :/
