Ive been cheated on.. but as the saying goes:

"Whatever doesn't kill you makes you stronger... eventually"

It was my first serious girlfriend and we had been dating for about 5 months.

She needed to move out the place she was renting and she was worried about finding somewhere else.

I stupidly suggested "Why dont we rent a place together" to which she obviously agreed.

She was at college so I agreed I would pay the bills and square up her overdraft to help her finish her course and have little to worry about so she could concentrate on college.

My Mum and Dad totally hated the idea... and they didnt like her either, they just thought she wasnt right for me. My Dad told me that if I moved out, I would be banned from the house. He'd tried everything else to convince me to stay but I was having none of it so this was his final attempt to make me see sense. I was young and thought I knew it all and parents knew nothing :rolleyes:

It caused a lot of stress for my folks. My Dad suffered an heart attack about 6 weeks after me moving out and passed away. This was his 3rd Heart Attack he'd had in his life.

While all this was going on, money became tight what with supporting 2 people on one wage while one is at college.

I asked the girlfriend to goto the funeral, she said "I cant get the time off college" - ???

After I literally begged her to come, she agreed but said she would meet me at the Church then would have to goto College straight after? The same morning, before I left the flat, I gave her £100 or so to put in her bank to square her overdraft.

When she met me at the church, she said "I left the money on the bus by mistake"?

This was after she goes out one night and comes home at about 5AM saying "I coulnt get a taxi". We lived a 15 minute walk from town and the club closed at 3am.

Just before this, she rings me one night with my Bankcard (Which I gave her), literally shouting at me because theres no money in the account and im a terrible boyfriend and her friends think im a jerk.

Anyway, a week later, she's becoming more and more distant and one day tells me "I need some space".

I move out the flat into a mates to give her time to get her head straight. We then have a phone conversation a few days later with her saying it was time to end it? No **** Sherlock.

I make an unnannounced visit to the flat knowing she was at work with a mates van to clear out EVERYTHING which was mine.. which was everything in the flat as the only thing she bought was a bread bin.

Anyway, walk in the bedroom to find an empty "morning after" pill packet. When asked she said "I cant tell you about that, I promised someone I wouldnt tell" ???

I found out that she was seeing someone else.

That was MANY years ago, I now have a loving wife and child and couldnt be happier.

It is true though, that relationship did change me and did I have since saw relationships differently.

Im not bitter, but if my ex is reading this:

I hope your left tittie turns blue and drops off.

Sorry about the long post.. only just realised.

It's humiliating being taken for a mug but you learned and moved on. Could have been worse - she could have ended up the mother of your kid or something equally complicated. I think the best way to look at it is that you have something to thank her for - she taught you what kind of woman you didn't want to spend the rest of your life with.
 
I agree.

My only regret is that I allowed her to become between myself and my father who did not get to see his grandchildren and likewise, they will not see him.

No, the guy didn't know who I was. He just opened the door and I was like "are you jason?" and he said yes, so I laid into him. The cops weren't involved, as I went back home after that (120 miles away). Like I said, it's not something i'm proud of, and the girl wasn't worth it, she was a psycho. I wasn't in a good place in my life either at the time, so I sorta took it all out on him.

Perhaps it might be time to make amends? A simple phonecall would suffice...

Apart from being ******* cheeky it was so hard knowing someone as your best friend basically for 6 years and then one day have them say they're not going to speak to you again as she gets back with her ex. Felt so alone at that point!!

It sounds like she just wanted to have the upper-hand so to speak. Probably helped her deal with the guilt. I don't think I would be so forgiving, but I understand exactly why you did what you did.

just reading through everyone's replys, interesting stuff I must say. I know my gf cheating on me with her cousin has affected me in a major way, I gave her everything, holidays which i paid for (Rome on valentines day, a couple of months after she cheated on me!) and Majorca.

All my mates were telling me what she was like, but i was blinded my love to see the truth tbh! I was just used all along to be frank.

I know this will affect my next relationship, but i'm unsure as to how it will. Has your experiences affected your new relationships? and if so, how exactly? I'd like to think I'll trust my next gf from the off, but i've got a feeling that something insignificant will plant the seed of doubt in my mind once again :(

Actually, id be curious as to the responce to this as well. Those who have been cheated on, what did it do to your relationships thereafter?
 
I was cheated on 3 times in a year with a girl I known for nearly all my life. Childhood sweethearts if that's what you want to call it. It get's you thinking in this distance situated relationships. You want to put all your trust in, but are scared to do so because of bad experiences.

Never the less I punched her in the ovaries.

:)
 
Actually one of my best days was related to cheating, getting sex twice in oine day from 2 different chicks has to be some kind of achievment on the manlyness scale.

Other than that it sucks.

Paying for it in Amsterdam doesnt count ;) :p
 
Long story short....I was 16, he was 19, I wasn't ready to start putting out so he went away to uni and found not 1 but 3 girls who would. Personally I hope he got **** on from a great height.

All water under the bridge now, very happy with my current other half.
