My girlfriend of 5 years cheated on me recently with one of her best friends. She claims she was drunk but I don't give a shit. I can't get the images out of my head and I'm wondering if I ever will and if I could ever trust her again.

You should let her go... but if you can give her your trust then you should try working things out ONLY if that makes YOU happy she's the one that messed up drunk or not... she shouldn't of gotten drunk to the point that she didn't know how to control herself, but if the cheating that she's done affects you a lot then find someone else that wouldn't do anything to hurt you...best I could tell you.
If she's worth it, work it out. Cheating is wrong and it will take a lot to earn that trust back, but it all boils down to how much you really love her. If you are willing to forget, then work it out. If you can't stand to even look at her or your feeling have changed, then move on! Be sure to ask her all the details or questions you want an answer to so you won't be replaying the whole cheating thing in your head. It's hard, but EVERYONE is replaceable! Good luck!!!!!

A lot of it has to do with trust. If you're not sure you can trust her again, you may not be ready to continue down this road with her, and you'd be completely within your rights to walk away from the relationship.
If you do trust her enough to take her back, you need to insist that certain things change. For instance, her best friend needs to no longer be her best friend. There's obviously an attraction between the two of them, even if it's only because they are such good friends. As a guy, I can say that there's no female friend I've had that I haven't thought about sleeping with at some point, even if I never intended to act on it. Alcohol or not, she acted on a desire that she had, even if it's something that she had repressed for a long time. In the end, it will come down to how much she wants to commit to you. And if she can't bring herself to cut off ties with her friend, then you probably need to cut this relationship off.

Trust me...Been there done that. It is a matter of how much you and she are willing to work it out. Infidelity sucks! It just does, and its a tough uphill battle to win back the trust and respect you once had for the cheater. I think its easier for women to forgive than us guys...only because were wired to be protective, and its a direct assault on our egos and manhood. If you think shes worth it, and she is willing to work it out, then stay. Yes the images in you head can drive you mad...but your imagination is probably working overtime, and not accurately reflecting the event.
5 years is a long time to throw away, but there had to be something wrong with the relationship for her to have this happen. You need to figure out what that is too. Alcohol is a convenient excuse...but something else had to be going on prior to this. Best of luck...its a very very hard choice to make.
I just found out my girlfriend of two and a half years cheated on me six months ago and fully dated another guy behind my back. I guess it didn't work...
