Heres the deal.. I've been with my girlfriend for a year and a half now and I just found out that she made out with her ex-boyfriend 6 months ago and I don't know if I should forgive her or not, but the thing is that I really really love her and I'm positive she loves me too, and besides that she was the one who told me about it... She said that she felt really bad, and she didn't tell me until now because she didn't want to lose me.. She said that she didn't want to fall more in love with me until I forgave her, and told me she's really sorry for doing it and that the reason she told me is because she regrets it and she assures me it will never happen again. I feel really bad because she would always tell me she was faithful, but it turns out she wasn't. She lied to me a bunch of times because every time that subject (about being faithful or not) would come up, she would always tell me that she would never do something like that, but on the other hand she told me she would always feel bad when we talked about that. Please I need some advice on what to do :(

forgive her you should always forgive people.It doesn't mean you have to stay with her though. move on and break it off lifes too short to spend time worrying if it will happend again,you need a person that will be faithful and treat you right not go make out with their ex boyfriends and tug your heart around ,heres the thing if someone really loves you they would never do that to you,she might say she does but as you can see you can't take her word.Its really hard letting go of something you really love but sometimes its for the best,you are not a door mat so don't let her walk all over you!

i've been cheated on, I never forgave him. and it was good I never did because he was a creep and he slept like with everyone, he has no shame.
some people never change. it sucks. I wish that he wasn't like that, because if he was decent, maybe we'd be together and I wouldn't have gone through so much pain.
i loved him, he didn't love me.
seriously find someone worth your time. that's my advice. trust is an issue here. I mean some people can forgive , but I can't.
i never know if a person feels bad they got caught or for cheating. so I just let go of that individual forever.

I mean, I have conversations like this with my boyfriend all the time. It's a good way to become stronger. If you can get through this, you have a pretty tough marriage. Fireproof is a good movie, I kind of recommend it. After watching that, my boyfriend tried to treat me better and sh*t. Well anyway I think this is a super question, and I think that you have a solid relationship if you're willing to take the step and be that honest with each other. I would forgive my boyfriend if something happened like this, although I can see where you're coming from with feeling betrayed, it was 6 months into a relationship and you have 6 more months now, 6 months stronger...

This is a good question. But you must remember, a girl will use her emotions to get what she wants which makes some of us girls look bad. But ask yourself, if she was really upset about what she did then why didn't she tell you sooner? If she honestly would have felt bad, she wouldn't have waited 6 months later to tell you. Not to mention, if she loved you as much as she said, she wouldn't have done anything with any guy, to make things worse, her ex boyfriend. I don't think you should stay with her if she can lie about being faithful and think it's okay to bring it up months later. It's an early sign of a destructive future if you stay with her. Trust me, I know from experience, a guy did the same thing to me and I stayed, in the end, he cheated more.

Man, I know you love her, but she lied to you time and time again about something so important. What she has done is effectively ruin your relationship because like I said to another guy, distrust is to a relationship what rust is to a car. Things will never be the same for you. You'll always be wondering when there's inconsistencies in her stories if she's lying or cheating. Don't put yourself through that bud. It just drags out the pain.

In my experiance its in your best interest to move on. If your a faithful man by nature you need a woman who posses the ability to be faithful not just to speak the words but to stand behind them is very important. My ex did this to me at the start of our relationship and admited it telling me almost exactly what your ex told you. It was really heart breaking 6 years later when I caught her doing it again. Lies are easy to tell but hard to cover up. Be smart don't get caught up in it like I did and find out 6 years later after forgiving her that she won't change.

Forgiveness and reconciliation are different. This concept is very important, so I'll repeat it:

Forgiveness and reconciliation are different.

Forgiveness is for you. Forgiveness is when you try to release all the anger, resentment and bad feelings towards someone who's wronged you. If you don't let go of these emotions, they'll poison you. You must absolutely forgive her, for your own health and peace.

But reconciliation is different. You can forgive as the first step towards reconciling and trying it again with your girlfriend. But you can also forgive and say, "Bye bye, have a good life" all at once. You can forgive people you love, or you can forgive people you disrespect and never want to see again.

You can forgive, but also withhold your trust. Forgiveness *does not* mean you wipe the slate clean. Your girlfriend violated your trust, and if she wants your trust again she must earn it with her words and her behavior.

Good luck.

All I know is what I'd do, and that is leave her. In my opinion if she "loved" me so much she never would have kissed someone else. On top of that she lied to my face every time she told me "she was faithful" so maybe she's lying about loving me to and maybe even other things. If she wants to be with her ex so bad that she'd make out with him while in a relationship with me her ex can have her. I'd drop her like yesterdays newspaper and want nothing to do with her.
