Search Results: getting over a cheating girlfriend

I was on this site with the same issue about 6 months ago. My girlfriend stopped having sex when we used to have a good sex life. At the time, her reason was that she’s on antidepressants and it kills her libido. I stayed by her side trying to be a good supportive boyfriend. But now her excuses are getting more and more pathetic.

Today she told me come over and we’ll have good sex. I went over and we did a lot. We went shopping, made dinner, worked out, and showered together. When it came time for sex she said the house is too cold to have sex. So I turned up the heat and we watched tv while waiting on the house to warm up. She fell asleep on the couch now saying she’s “too tired”. I’m really to cheat. Should I just drop this girl?

I don’t feel like a have a girlfriend. Feels like I’m hanging out with my sister.

I like to think a girlfriend is temporary even if I have permanent intentions. As men we never know the girls intentions and whether they are subject to change. Today's forever can mean the end of it X time later.

What's the point of not considering a girlfriend to be yours truly forever and ever? No surprises and setbacks. There is a reason I intend to listen to LMFAO Party Rock Athem, not Juice WRLD all girls are the same.

Can't tell them about it. They will be upset I guarantee it. They won't understand, that as men we are on our own ⚠ and therefore it serves as a protective mechanism. These are some of the darker things some men are actively not telling women.

There is a saying "She's not really yours. It's just your turn now".

Story Time: One time I used to have a "girlfriend", who claimed I was hers and all that mushy stuff about being together. But then she ghosted me completely and most likely cheated on me too. Eventually I got over it 100% but the price of such surprises is too high for me to risk once more. It's been 5 years.

Never again. I can't. Simple as that.

I have dated probably a hundred women over the past 35 years. Most of the breakups were the civilized, "this doesn't seem to be working well for either of us" kind of break ups. A few were the embarrassing kind that bring out the worst in everyone. At least the bad break ups helped me to avoid picking such awful partners again.

The worst involved my girlfriend getting drunk, accusing me of being unfaithful with various women around the country (I was at home EVERY night and never cheated on her,) trying to snatch my phone from my hand, losing her grip and falling backwards, hitting her head on the wall, then calling police and having ME arrested for domestic violence. Typical cop bias resulted in me spending a night in jail before the prosecutor eventually decided that there was NO evidence to support any domestic violence charge and the case was dismissed. Lesson learned and I now stay away from girls who seem to drink just a little too much, too often.

Have most of your break ups been peaceful? Any horror stories to share?
