Did your long distance relationship survive infidelity and distance?

[TheLovelyWoman]

My husband and I were in a long distance relationship for many years. I went to college close to town and he went out of state. It was hard because we barely seen each other. I was not faithful during the time we lived apart.

Long distance plus college freedom is a classic setup for cheating, emotional confusion, and unmet needs. If the infidelity is still a secret, it silently poisons the relationship. If it’s known, rebuilding requires brutal honesty, zero blame-shifting, and consistent changed behavior.

Some couples survive it, but the old relationship is gone. You either build a new one with radical transparency and shared effort, or you slowly drift into resentment, suspicion, and emotional ghosting.

If you stayed, ask yourself: are you truly in love with him now, or just loyal to the history?

You also weren’t faithful during the time you have lived together, so the distance problem is irrelevant.

[MontBlanc]

Distance is rarely the real test.
Character is.

Distance only reveals what's already there, while infidelity reveals who someone chooses to be when integrity is no longer convenient.

If a relationship survives both, it isn't because they were lucky, it's because rebuilding trust mattered more than protecting pride.

How many other LDR's did you have on the go at the same time?

How many chapters are you up to yet?

you were never faithful to him. He is half asleep this fascinates me.

Probably not, especially if trust is gone.
