Search Results: boyfriend keeps lying

We've been together for 3 years and we both love each other a lot. I know it may seem like I don't from my actions but I do.

When I was at a conference for work, I met a man who was very forward and honest about his intentions with me. He kept making advances and I kept stopping him. Eventually I gave in. I wasn't thinking and I made a big mistake. I felt horrible after it happened and I know it was a one time thing so I decided not to tell my boyfriend. This was two weeks ago.

My boyfriend said he felt like I was being distant lately. So yesterday he planned a really lovely date. After the date we had really passionate sex. We were lying in bed post-sex and he was kissing all over my face saying how much he loved me. It was such a lovely night and it made me feel horrible about what I'd done and I ended up telling him. He was pretty shocked and he left my place after I told him.

I am the first girl he's ever been with (kiss, sex everything) and he's a romantic sort of a guy so honestly I think he will forgive me. When we met he had been rejected by a lot of girls because he's short (seriously, you should have heard the things they said to him) and he had bad self-confidence as a result. I know it's probably not the best reason to stay with someone, but I think he will stay with me, if only because he thinks he couldn't get another girl. I don't think that but I think he does. I'm just wondering how long until we will get back to normal. How long until he fully forgives me?
