Search Results: getting over a cheating girlfriend

I used to believe in happy endings and true love before. This image shattered when my first relationship failed. He turned out to be a real sociopath; a truly toxic person.

My grandmother didn't marry her first (he got her pregnant and cheated on her) and she had couple other relationships before finally marrying someone. My father's first girlfriend left him and marry the guy she got pregnant with. My mother ended up getting my father. However, he was and is still my mom's first.

So is it more likely for someone's first relationship to fail than succeed? Or is it a 50/50? I envy people who stayed with their 1st and didn't need to go through the ''starting all over'' process like my mom. Then others like me, my father and grandmother who were unlucky.

So I (29F) just got back together with my on again off again boyfriend (29M). We use to date on and off for years. Sometimes it was a year sometimes it was less. Whatever the case, the relationship would end because I just stopped having the emotional connection to him. The last time we were together he was living with me. I just got out of a relationship and he was there for me to help move my, at the time, ex out. He then moved in that same day. We were together for a while but I woke up one morning and felt bad that he felt strongly for me but I wasn't into him anymore. Note, before he wasn't really a great boyfriend. He never really did things for me and I didn't like the input he had over my style and such. But I really think he's changed. My issue is, I don't want to be his rebound. He just got out of a serious relationship and he really opened up to me and shared his vulnerable side. We were just going to meet for drinks because we wanted to remain friends. I was actually seeing someone at the time that I was planning on having a future with, we were together 7 months, and was going to move in with him in August. So I am sure we both have that in common, fresh out of a committed relationship. My boyfriend at the time was being kind of paranoid because I did cheat on him Mother's day and he didn't like the idea of me going to grab dinner with one of my ex's. I told him there was nothing to worry about but once I had a few drinks it was a done deal. My boyfriend at the time was also concerned because my ex is a coke dealer and I was a recovering addict. Later that night I told him the dinner had finished but I didn't tell him my ex stayed for more drinks and we went out and we ended up partying with old friends and getting high. I am worried that my new exbf will freak out my boyfriend (former ex) and I am scared he isn't over his girlfriend. I feel like my current ex isn't over me so I am scared to think my former ex isn't over his ex
