Search Results: should i just date other guys

hi. im 18. so long story short i have boyfriend who i love soooo much he treats well we work at the same place and are very close. in the begining everything was great we met each others parents and my mom thought he was great for me. so a couple months later me and my so i thought were my friends decided to go on a little weekend getaway like we usually do every other month. only this time we planned to bring our special someones. i brought my boyfriend and gave him my vcard. long story short my mom found out and my "friends" threw me under the bus. i lied at first and told her he didn't spend the night and that we didn't have sex. but the the truth eventually came out and i confessed. she made me break up with him and cut off all contact. we didn't ofc. deep in my heart ik he was God given and was meant for me. and we decided to just date in secret using our time at work to see each other. their are other factors to this story but my overall question is should you break u because of your parent. i mean ik i shouldn't have lied but i think sometimes love comes with a fight. please if you guys need more clarity to help with my situation ask questions. thank you!

I found out recently that my boyfriend and his ex were still sending each other pictures of NSFW fan art for the first month of our relationship then stopped because they realised it was inappropriate.

For context they were in a long distance relationship and used to send each other NSFW fan art all the time. They broke up when we started dating and she ghosted him for 2 weeks, then when they started talking and hanging out online again they started sending the pictures again.

It's been over a year since this happened and they stopped but they still hang out online together often. I only found out that they used to date recently and then I found out about the pictures and i feel hurt and a bit betrayed.

I want to know if what they did is considered cheating or if it was just really inappropriate.

I'm not sure what to do and having some clarity on this might help me figure it out.

After talking to my boyfriend about it I've forgiven him and he has agreed to stop spending time alone with her and only to talk to her when she's hanging out with our mutual friends but I feel like I should confront her because she kept this from me and befriended me while sending these pictures to my boyfriend and not telling me about their relationship.

If you guys dont consider it cheating then I'll let it go and try to move on but if you do consider it cheating then I feel like I have a right to bring it up despite it being in the past and at the very least demand an apology from her and at worse cut ties with her completely. This whole situation really pains me because I did like her as a friend.
