Girlfriend "cheats" on me in our engagement party

I'll try and give you some decent advice here.

The phrase 'in vino veritas' exists for a reason. When drunk, people do things that they've been thinking of doing before or they say things that they've been bottling up. Drink is terrible because it means people bring things out that aren't actually issues, but just appear so at the time. It brings out niggles, small concerns, but writes them large. That is to say, it makes people act as if things are very important and sometimes massively problematic when they aren't.

My gf is guilty of this too. She has said things when drunk which she regrets the next day and has bought me presents to apologise. This doesn't always make it right though.

Different people act differently when drunk. In my experience, seeing as girls are moody creatures, they are more likely the create problems after drinking than the bloke is. How you deal with this is up to you. If your gf doesn't drink a lot anyway, I'd say she should give it up since it obviously doesn't mean that much to her and it's dangerous. I've been out with a tee-total girl and it was great, no problems at all. She didn't mind me drinking but she knew how to have fun too and was faithful.

I'm slightly concerned about this "I'm going to feel another man's weiner" thing. When my gf gets drunk she sometimes has a go at me about things [few of which I can remember] but I've never had a worry about her doing something with anyone. And I've seen her drunk a lot of times. I think that the two of you need to talk about this and what you do from hereon in. To me it sounds like she needs to give up the drink, a lot of people do because they don't like the person it turns them into. If you mean that much to her she'll do it. You don't want to be worried about a repeat incident.

The other thing I'd watch for is her friends. Are they decent, are they likely to egg her on in the future and get her drinking when she doesn't want to or are they trustworthy? People take drinking for granted but its so destructive. I think she should give it up totally and ask her friends to respect her decision. It sounds like a really crap night which you can learn from and you're lucky it didn't go even worse.

If she doesn't want to give it up I would reconsider the relationship. It sounds like she will though.
 
thats right, walk away. i guess everyone should just walk away in future as well.
if they love each other then maybe she can open up and feel 'safe' with the OP, then everything will be ok.
just walking away will add to the baggage for the next person.

Life isn't always that simple. This is reality, not Storybook Hour.

You can't help everyone, and some people just aren't ready for a relationship until they've got themselves sorted out.

Simply marrying the next nearest bloke is no way to get over past baggage, especially if she's already freaking out at the engagement party.

She needs to sort herself out. Does she love him? She might think she does, but that's not the same thing.

Would you do what she did, to someone you loved?
 
no, its not just girls for being moody.
drugs heighten the sense of feeling at the time, so if you are feeling down then drinking will add to that. If you are angry then you will be an angry drunk. if you are happy then it will elevate that happiness (until you go too far obviously).

i do agree about the friends, i think they may have had a part to play in it.

I left my wife after having an affair, so I've done worse.
No you can't help everyone, but she has changed her life and is heading in a better direction than she was. She wasnt freaking out, no where near doing that.
 
This is what alcohol does to people.
i dont believe people dont know what there doing when drunk/cant remember doing it either.

even when im slaughtred i still know exactly what im doing i may be more inclined to do things i wouldnt usually do but i still know im doing those things and actively choose to or choose not to carry them out.

i also remember everything the next morning, my wife says shes exactly the same.

drink is no excuse shes a **** deep down the drink just brought it to the surface even if she isnt usually like that there will come a time when she cheats on you wether drunk or not.

but maybe it was a test and she wanted you to be a man, maybe she wanted you to put a stop to it and she was seeing far how she could go before you intervened but instead you just pretended like nothing was happening while some bloke was hitting on your girlfriend, wether it was encouraged or not most people wouldnt have let a situation like this develop.

are you really soft? dont like confrontations? cant stick up for yourself? prefer to be quiet than speak up?

Has she, though? Or has she merely bottled it up for a while, postponing the inevitable?

Call it what you like; it wasn't the sort of behaviour I'd look for in a sound relationship!
 
Go talk things out with her. As a few other people have said you should have taken control of the situation instead of just sitting around watching. If that were me I would have physically dragged her out of the place before letting her do something so stupid that she's only going to regret.

He is not her father, she should be able to control herself.
 
I didnt stop things because I was in shock as I didnt expect her to do such a thing - She had no idea I was watching I needed to know what she would do if she didnt think I was around... sounds bad.

The camp seems divided about getting rid and second chance... I do love her and I know she loves me - thats what makes this all so unbelievable. Her mum called me last night and we had a long chat - her mum and dad are very angry with her and have called her home on her days off to talk to her.

Its not the sort of behaviour anyone would look for, but things happen in life and you have to deal with them. Walking off is not the right thing to do when they were clearly happy before this.

She did something very stupid, but retained sense to pull away when it looked like something more could have come from it, even while drunk. It was a joke / dare / test gone too far imo.
 
Vegetarian said:
she got drunk and kissed another man infrount of him.

So it's happened before?

She obviously has problems controlling herself when drunk or as others have said, deep down wants to mess around with other guys. Sorry but no amount of alcohol can turn a perfectly faithful woman into one that says she is gonna go grab some other guys ****.
 
Sounds to me like she wants you to be jealous, wants to see that you still pay a large interest in her being "yours" and doesnt understand your not the jealous type

Personally id make her feel bad for a while ignoring her etc, show her how hurt you are, make her sweat it out, talk about it after a while and see how things go

It's not like she has out right slept with someone anyway so i wouldnt abandon ship just yet, talk!

She should have retained her senses enough to not say "I'm going to grab some guys ****, are you jealous" to be quite honest.

She is a tramp and should be treated as such, dump her.

I would wager that she has done this or worse before without you knowing.
 
It depends how YOU are to be honest.

If you think you can build on the relationship, and make thing's work again, then do it.

Relationships would not be relationships if you didn't have niggles and events in between, it's what makes you stronger.

I know of a couple who have had GOD knows how many arguments, and little 'tiffs' when drunk, one even started kissing someone once then the other half caught them in the act, yeah they argued but they soon cleaned thing's up....And they're better than ever really now.

I suggest you talk to her, it's your choice at the end of the day to see thing's through if you want to. If she does have a problem, see if you can help, or get her help.

You'll get a lot of "bugger that get rid of her" replies in here, if you haven't gathered already, so make the decision yourself really.
 
mate, grow up. she was drunk and probably her friends were as well and some things may have been said that made her think to do something silly.
she didnt notice the first kiss, fair enough if it was nothing, but she did actually pull away when the bloke went for a bit more, so even though she was drunk, she actually retained some sense.

go talk to her, she will be feeling very very sad.

+1.

I agree, im going through a break up now with a girl of 4 years, the thing that annoys me most is that shes not even willing to talk it through and try and work it out. Walking away is not the right thing to do IMO but then again its not me doing the walking. Im just giving you the other side of the story of what she might be feeling.
