Cheating in a long distance relationship: how do I choose and do the right thing?

Please don’t shame me, i’m asking for help / advice, please no shaming or disrespectful criticism.


I’m in a long distance relationship with a girl named Diamond.
She’s beautiful, she’s very genuine, she’s very sweet, she’s slightly disabled, & she has trauma from past boyfriends.
She sent me a picture of her this morning, cuddling with a Teddy bear I bought her months ago.

She’s perfect, but the distance is killing me.
She’s ok with long distance, im not. She isn’t too far away, about 1h 45m, although she can’t drive. I can, just not legally at the moment, and my car wouldn’t make the trip anymore.

I met someone else, her name is Victoria. Victoria is also so sweet, Victoria is amazing. she’s taken me on like 5 dates, she’s sweet. So sweet and she won’t stop buying me stuff..

neither of them know about each other. When I met Victoria…. I was just lonely. It was supposed to be a one night thing, but she’s what my soul needs right now. After that night I knew I couldn’t just drop her.

I need help and I don’t know what to do.
I like both of them.. They’re both literally angels.

i don’t deserve either of them

diamond did give me permission to have a “friend” since we both know long distance is an issue. We both know what she meant by friend, but still I haven’t been honest.
