Im lesbian. I have a girlfriend of two years almost three.. about last jan my girlfriend had sex with her ex girlfriend saying that it was because she was mad at me and it just happened. I had found out in aug 7 months after it happened. I said I didn't want her talking to her anymore and she said fine but she did anyway.. after our huge fight and I told her why it bothered me she said fine I understand and hasn't talked to her since.. as far as I no.. But do I trust her? Because sometimes I get worried that she will do it again. And I don't no what to do about the whole thing. I no she loves me though. UGHH help please

No you don't trust her...are you serious????


This girl does not give a **** about you.

Stop allowing someone to abuse you.

If you lay down and tack a 'welcome' sign on your head then you will get walked over.

You are better than this. MUCH BETTER

We as people are insecure enough without having the person that claims to love and support us ripping us down too.

Leave, walk away now.

See that's my problem I don't know how to just let things go and not let people walk all over me, how to handle the situation, or even what to say

I use to always stick up for myself and never let anyone walk all over me.. but when I got in this relationship I changed inside out

I agree with neverme, you need to leave this girl. If she had sex with someone else because she was mad at you, then she doesn't have real feelings for you. You can find someone who will treat you better and love for who you are. It's hard at first but in the end it will be better for you and you'll be happier.

Obviously you don't trust her anymore or you wouldn't ask the question,you said this girl changed you and believe me from personally experience walk away sooner rather than later or you'll never be able to go back to being you. Oh and if you found out about this what do you not know about? People often admit to the lesser evil rather than be caught with the greater. The hardest thing for me would be the thought of all the personal time spend in that 7 months when she found it so easy to lie to you

Well she wasn't the one who told me she cheated on me it was actually her ex girlfriend who text me and told me that kim my girlfriend told her that we had broken up and that they had sex. But him told me that everybody makes mistakes. And why else would she tell me she doesn't want me to her. When I was about to break up with her she cried and said don't leave me please I'm sorry

neverme
Feb 9, 2009, 10:20 AM
Oh does she start to feel sorry for herself then?

Come on, you are better than this!

You deserve better than this, you know it and I know it.

As long as you're around her, she will control you. She controls how you feel, who you're with, and I'm going to guess a lot more of your life.

Is this what you want out of a relationship or do you want to be happy?

Sometimes we just have to let a relationship go.

It's not easy but have courage and faith in the future.

Omg wow! How did you no she controls me. She always bosses me around to get her a drink to make her something to eat text me to come home she "misses" me

Feb 9, 2009, 10:42 AM
I'm just very very good!

LOL

I've been there, can you not see that it's time to let it go?

There's a world of possibilities out there. Breaking up is hard to do but if you're not truly happy then that's what you have to do.

Be honest with yourself.

Jlesnik33
Feb 9, 2009, 10:47 AM
Lol funny part is right when you sent that control thing, she just asked for a soda and a tissue. Is there any way she could care though and that she did change after that whole cheating thing?

How would I know? And what could I say to her and tell her how I feel with out it starting a fight... because she always tells me babe its the past just let it go. How old are you? Your very good at this.

neverme
Feb 9, 2009, 11:00 AM
Lol thank you. I'm 22.

It's no longer about her, it's about you.

Stop and think about it seriously. Do you trust her?

Communication and Trust are the two most important things in a relationship. If you are lacking in either they are serious red flags. You obviously are still hurt about this so it's not in the past! It would greatly annoy me if I was being told to just let something go that was so important.

I was in a relationship where my girlfriend kissed someone else. She came straight home and told me. I forgave her but it rocked our trust and in the end we just couldn't get over it. I stayed in the relationship for over a year after this. We tried to make it work but it didn't. That's the thing about trust, if it's shaken or broken, it is a long and weary path back to what used to seem so easy. That path has to be taken on in equal parts by both parties and you have to support each other through it all, the ups and downs. If communication is gone, and it is if she simply keeps dismissing it, then really I see no way back.

This is just my thoughts, you're the only one who can give yourself the answers.

How would I bring it up to her that its bothering me with out me seeming to "pesty" about the situation

neverme
Feb 9, 2009, 11:08 AM
Well can you answer some questions..

Does she still see her ex?

Why did her ex feel the need to tell you?

What has she said about it in the past?

Once again, do you trust her?

Jlesnik33
Feb 9, 2009, 11:19 AM
As far as I no, she does not. She's always home when I call meaning she's not out anywhere. And she acts more lively not trying to hide something

He ex told me on her birthday she was trying to make kims birthday living hell which worked because I was pissed

What she said in the past was I was I no it hurt and I'm sorry baby and she started to cry but then a few months later she was talking to her and kim told me she didn't want to loose a best friend.. because alex her ex girlfriend was and I no this for a fact the only other friend she has ever had.


And for the trusting part I do.. but it makes me nervous

neverme
Feb 9, 2009, 11:28 AM
as far as i no

The fact that your post started like this says a lot! You don't even know that you know where she is.


he ex told me on her birthday she was trying to make kims birthday living hell which worked because i was pissed

what she said in the past was i was i no it hurt and im sorry baby and she started to cry but then a few months later she was talking to her and kim told me she didnt want to loose a best friend.. because alex her ex girlfriend was and i no this for a fact the only other friend she has ever had.

Neither of these girls are over each other. If your girlfriend can't see that someone who comes in to sabotage their life on their birthday of all times is not a friend at all, never mind a best friend! She has other reasons for keeping her in her life.

The ironic thing is, about 3 months into my relationship with my ex, an ex came on the scene and tried to royally f*** everything up. This was the origin of all of our problems and the source of countless fights. It wasn't what caused us to end because my girlfriend realised after a painful time fir us both that this girl was simply toxic and just looking for attention but all in the same... Maybe it's just something sapphic, who knows? :D

Sorry to say but someone who really love you would NEVER sleep with someone else because they were mad. That's just immature and slutty.

I'd say let her go until she can prove to you she deserves your trust again. You're the only person who knows what it'll take for you to trust her again. You shouldn't have to constantly wonder what your partner is up to.

neverme
Feb 9, 2009, 03:34 PM
Chrissymarie, if she's going to leave her she has to leave her for good, there's no point playing games that's immature.

chrissymarie
Feb 9, 2009, 04:04 PM
neverme: I'm not telling her to play a game. She knows what her partner needs to do to regain trust and if she thinks there really is nothing her partner can do to move on then she just needs to break it off with her for good. Sometimes people deserve a second chance.

neverme
Feb 9, 2009, 04:09 PM
I'd say let her go until she can prove to you she deserves your trust again.

It's the 'until' in this sentence that made me think you were telling her to play games. If she decides to leave her girlfriend then she needs to do that for good. Not 'until' anything.

Jlesnik33
Feb 9, 2009, 08:33 PM
But I don't want to leave.. or do I feel like that because I'm just comfortable in this relationship. What do I say to her with out it causing a big fight to make sure that she isn't talking to her ex anymore

mizz_on_her_own
Feb 10, 2009, 09:59 AM
In my opinion I would just simply ask her if she was still seeing her ex girlfriend

If she starts to push it aside and say that it's in the past just tell her no

Tell her you want to know the truth.

Tell her it's to make you a little more comfortable

Feb 17, 2009, 10:19 AM
It is and it isn't good to be pesty but if your pesty because your worried then its okay just not OVERLY pesty. And If you feel yourself getting to worked up then just back off and take a couple deep breaths and then try to talk again.

Ren6
Feb 17, 2009, 11:30 AM
You already asked about this same thing in another thread. The answers will be the same. You don't trust her, with good reason. She doesn't listen to your concerns. Unless she's willing to see a counselor and work this issue out with you, you should bail. Seriously. I know it seems like she's the love of your life, but trust me, she's not.

Jlesnik33
Feb 19, 2009, 02:52 AM
All right, so I have to thank you all... I didn't break up with her but I sat her down and had a serious talk.. about "the cheat" she started to cry and said"babe i told you i was stupid and i ed up i can't tell you why i did it cause idk but i regret it. I guess i was at the point where i would do anything to get my best friend back, then i realized your more important to me than anybody else." she also told me that she doesn't talk to her anymore and that I don't have to worry. She doesn't need someone like that in her life. So yeah I'm really happy and I had to just stop by and let you guys know that!

So, today my girlfriend got a text message from her ex girlfriend that she cheated on me with, she says she hasn't talked or seen her and to just ignore the text. But then why would she of text her. Though she was just asking where something was.. it still made me mad and upset and confused. What do I do to calm down, and should I believe her? That she isn't talking to her.

neverme
Mar 8, 2009, 05:37 PM
Hey,

As I have said before I was in pretty much the same situation as yourself.

This is going to keep happening. And you know why?

Because the trust is gone in your relationship. Your girlfriend can cry and say she's sorry, but until she actively starts to work with you to rebuild the trust it's going to deliver the same blow.

Hurt, confused, sad.

So should you believe her, only you can answer that one.

Can you?

mizz_on_her_own
Mar 9, 2009, 08:37 AM
I wouldn't but that is just me I completely agree with neverme.

The trust was shattered and she needs to work to help build that trust back up and if she doesn't want to then, in my opinion, she isn't worth it.

Jlesnik33
Mar 10, 2009, 02:30 PM
She read this the other day and got real mad at me saying I made her look like a scum bag and told me to delete it. But for the past few days she acted like nothing happened.

neverme
Mar 11, 2009, 03:31 AM
Well you can't delete posts.

Tell her you told the truth as you saw it, how she was perceived in the eyes of the other people is what she didn't like.

Truth hurts.

Cowards cheat.

If you really love her you can give her one more chance but stay on guard talk to her and find out what made her mad at you you look like a nice girl she would be dumb to lose you and if she does in again mabe you should not be gay you might just have better luck there's a guy out there who will treat you right get a country boy.

Jlesnik33
Mar 11, 2009, 09:35 AM
Staying on guard, might seem like I'm a little jealous of this other girl, and I'm far from jealous of that "other grimmy cheating *****" But I do try and find out just so I no.. So I could spare my own feelings on what's about to come. Thing is it just gets me so mad and I hate being mad.

My girlfriend and I have not had sex in a year and three months. We have been together for two years six months. I ask her why, and she tells me because she's not in the mood, or that she doesn't enjoy sex. Last person she had sex with was her ex girlfriend, when she cheated on me that once.
A. Does that have anything to do with it?
B. Why do you think she won't have sex with me?
C. How do I handle this? (it hurts)
D. Do I just give up on the fact I'll never get it?

You need to have a definitive talk with your GF.

Relationships are about reciprocity and your needs in the relationship are being ignored or denied.

Does she want to be in a relationship or just be friends? Why doesn't she enjoy sex? Talk to her - don't be angry or accusative, just say that you'd like to know so that you can make a decision about what to do.

I suspect she would prefer to be friends, and I also suspect that she may prefer girls, from what you've said. But only she can confirm this for you.

Jlesnik33
May 10, 2009, 08:19 PM
Well. I am a girl. So that would work out.
I have had a talk with her and she tells me she's not a sexual person and if I don't like it leave. And about the friend thing, she tells me all the time that she loves me and wants to be with me. Its just weird.

JoeCanada76
May 10, 2009, 08:26 PM
Maybe she is cheating again? Maybe it was not one time. She is even daring you to leave if you do not like it.

I would normally say counseling, but I do not know. Are you up for it.

It sounds like this is an on going problem. Sex between partners who loves each other, now I understand that sex is not the most important part of the relationship but in your case it sounds like there is no reason for this. Plus you said she has cheated on you before.

Are you happy in this relationship? She tells you she loves you but you can leave if you want. Sounds messed up.

I am glad you came here to ask the question.

Is there any other underlying issues that could possibly causing this. How were you two sexual at the beginning? Was she always like this?

Will try to answer better, whenever your able to give more info.

Apologies, I didn't 'get' that!

My experience is that some lesbian relationships are not sexually charged. In fact, many women enjoy relationships with other women because they feel the relationships are less sexually demanding.

If you want to have sex and she doesn't then there is your answer. You can remain good friends, but if sex is important you'll have to let her know that you want a sexual commitment and move on to someone else.

She can't expect you to be happy if your needs are not being met. I'm sure she loves you and she can still have your friendship when you move on to another relationship.

At first in the relationship we had sex 3 times a month if that.. and that was a lot for me. Every time I ask her to talk.. she gets mad and then some how turns this around on me like its my fault or something. Im not saying sex is everything to me, But when someone turns you down for over a year you start to wonder what's wrong with yourself, what can you change, or if its not me. When I ask her is it because she's not attraitve to me like that anymore, she says omg babe shut up no, I told you I'm just not in the mood. Im not ready to leave, but I do want to try and find a way to tell her hey listen with out her getting mad... I guess I just don't have the right words for it.

JoeCanada76
May 10, 2009, 09:07 PM
It is very curious how she is getting mad when you bring it up. You went from having it 3 times a month to not any for a year. Or once a year. There is a big problem here.

Do you trust her? You still have not answered my question. ARE YOU HAPPY?

I still think there are things going on that your not aware of, but that is just my opinion.

Sorry, but to not be 'in the mood' for over a year smacks of deeper problems to me.

I think that, if you choose to continue with this relationship, you need to ask her to be honest about why she’s no longer interested. Ask her whether she is frightened to tell you something. Ask her whether she will go with you to see a counsellor and discuss in more depth the dynamics of your relationship and potential reasons for her loss of interest in sex.

These issues are always about choice. Your GF can choose to do nothing and risk losing you or take your concerns seriously. You can choose to have a relationship without sex. You can say to yourself the relationship is so good otherwise that it's worth going without. That’s your choice. Or you can admit you want more from a relationship and are prepared to lose what you have to get the relationship you really want.

Stop dancing around the issue and have the “definitive” talk. Some things can’t be ignored.

Jlesnik33

I don't know if I'm happy, sometimes I am and other times she makes me so mad, I don't even know how to be happy. I try to be strong about the whole thing but it makes it worse. We just got in a fight about ten minutes ago and now she's sleeping in the living room, and throwing it in my face to leave if that's how I really feel. She said that if she had a problem with me she would have had sex with her ex again and again but she didn't. She doesn't want it. I just want to romance.. its sad it died in a sense. She's sleeping in the living room because she's tired of hearing me. This is what happens every time I try to talk about how I feel. That's why I never really bother.

JoeCanada76
May 10, 2009, 11:34 PM
Well it does not sound like your well together now. She mentioned her ex that she cheated on you with. I would say that do you want her to always play these games with you? Whenever you should try talking with her. Getting mad like she is, is sending out red flags. Key to any relationship is communication. You do not have it here, because you're the only one communicating.

My girlfriend and I have been together for almost 4 years. I asked a question a while back about her cheating on me and stuff, which I forgave and the girl joined the coast guard so she's not around anymore.

Kim and I have been doing really well with our relationship, but I feel like signs are coming back. Not that she's cheating on me but signs that don't look to good in my point of view.

This woman at work, she talks to her all the time at first I thought they were just friends cause she's in her 40's and kim is in her early 20s.

But the other day kim asked me to read a text message from her phone for a web address for her to type in, which made me come across this other woman's texts message and some of it went

Carol "you look good in that car"
Kim "it would look better if you were next to me driving to the beach"

Kim" hey hot stuff"
Carol "haha that made my day"
Kim "i meant it hehe"
Carol "what do you mean?"
Kim "i'll tell you how i really feel when we go for drinks one day, i dont want to get you to excited at work"

And when I questioned her about it she said it was just joking around. Which makes sense. Because she is married and has children. But to me that doesn't seem to normal.

And I asked kim if carol knew about me, and kim told me no I don't talk about you to everyone I know.

Does kim need her space? She works 2 jobs and goes to school and I only see her about 3 hours a day anymore when she wakes up and when she comes home to sleep.

How could I handle this situation with keeping the relationship and not being to pushy or seem like I'm butting in her personal life? With this whole thing not to bother me.


I just want to try and understand what to do.

I think your instincts are telling you this isn't right.
Don't torture yourself. Yes, your GF is a major flirt. It is fun, unless you are in a relationship with her. My advice. Establish your own space /Your own place and see if she comes to you. She is too comfortable and not ready to commit.

Cat1864

I read your other thread (https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/relationships/girlfriend-308485.html ) and it left me with a question that has bearing on your latest issues.

Have you been able to share your feelings and concerns with her or have you given up because you don't want to seem 'pesty'?

If you can talk to her about relationship issues and find the time to do so, I think you both need to sit down and discuss your fears. Bottling it up won't help either of you or the relationship.

How long has she been on this work/school schedule? Does the limited time together make you feel a bit more nervous about her relationship with the co-worker? Do you two try to do anything together other than sleep and get ready to go to work/school? How long will this schedule last? Does it look like it will get better in the future?

The only person who can tell you if she needs more 'me' time is her. I don't really know in her schedule where she would fit it and still be in a relationship, though.

As for the co-worker, married women do play around. Some bi-sexual women have agreements in their marriages that allow for them to have 'girlfriends' (I know a woman whose marriage is like that). That Kim hasn't mentioned you to the co-worker seems a bit fishy especially since she is flirting with the co-worker. However, only you and she can determine if it crosses any boundaries. Which brings us back to having a discussion.

Bottom line seems to be that you need to have an open and honest discussion again.

Good luck.

You got to listen to your "gut" feelings. The conversation seemed a little suspicious to me too. It's possible that something is going on or is on it's way to happening.

Just remember - You can't force your girlfriend into doing or not doing anything.

Best thing you can do is to back away and live your life as if she's gone, because I really don't think she even knows what she wants.

When I try and ask her questions, or anything that I am concerned about, she gets mad at me and tells me that I'm overreacting and to shut up. About once a week we find time to go out to breakfast or dinner. And that time spent together is wonderful, Its when at home its weird. She won't be as loving as I would like. She has been doing this school work thing for a little over a year now.

She tells me that I have to trust her, And because she cheated on me once doesn't mean she's going to do it again.

I thought since she would have gotten this job, missing me would come into play, but that hasn't happened either.

It sounds like this is a continuation of the problems of a year ago. I don't think she is really into the relationship and is feeding you little tidbits to keep you hooked for reasons of her own.

Big question: could she manage by herself if you weren't living with her?

What has she actively done to rebuild the trust she destroyed? You may have forgiven her and stayed with her, but that doesn't mean that she can ignore her responsibilities in the relationship to work with you, her partner, to keep the relationship healthy and growing.

Quite frankly, I think you have put up with her controlling you and attempting to control your emotions way to long. Let her play with her married co-worker. Take care of yourself and your own emotional well-being. Let her go. Find yourself again and heal. Learn to trust yourself again and then other people. There are people in the world who don't use others the way she seems to be using you.

Good luck.

What I am saying is that you need to get out of the relationship with no looking back. Stop holding on to her and stop allowing her to use you. I think you would feel much better about yourself if you had someone in your life who valued you as much as you value them.

Let yourself heal and move forward and then find that person.

No, get out of the relationship. It is not a mutually respectful one. Why would you want to stay with someone like that?

Get your own place and try time apart. If she misses you and wants the relationship you want - mutual caring - great. If not, you have your own place to go home to.

Me and my girlfriend went out to eat the other night, and sitting there the topic of her ex girlfriend and how she cheated on me came about.

She told me that it was a mistake and regretted it after it happen.. but all she can think about was how bad she was going to hurt me, and that she wanted to hurt me ( because I made her mad that day)

But at the same time she said that she still had feelings for her ex and she felt that she was still the one she was suppose to be with. Meaning she was very confused.

Then she explained to me how she hasn't talked to her in a while, and she feels like she was nothing but trying to cause problems, she had something against her and her ex was always telling her how she has to grow up. My girlfriend didn't like that at all, saying how she was the one who needs to grow up and blah blah blah.. basic stuff.

Then my girlfriend told me that all she knows right now is that she loves me and wants to be with me.

My questions are,

How can I stop thinking about how she had feelings for her?
Should I still be worried?
Should I believe that its actually over with her?
And how can I stop being so needy and piss her off? ( I was very needy for a while because I didn't know if she loved me so I would ask all the time, do you love me, am I cute to you? That kind of stuff)

Please help.. I'm relieved but so bottled up with so many emotions

I have a few questions.

How long have the two of you been dating?
How long ago did she cheat?
How long was she with her ex?
What kind of "feelings" does she have for her ex? Does she still love her?

Honestly, if she still has feelings for this other woman then it's probably best for you to let her deal with them before you take it any further. This is for your own sake as well as hers.

I do commend her for being honest with you though. It can take a lot of courage to confess those sort of things.

I think it would be best if you two had some space. I don't think that she can possibly know for sure if she loves you or not if she still has feelings for her ex.

That's what I think is for the best.

Dating for 4 years
Cheated 2 years agoish..
Together for about a year friends for about 8

And she told me she did have feelings for her at the time of cheating, but not anymore, she said she made a mistake.

Which I am happy that she did come clean. And even though it did happen a long time with her coming clean just brought back so much emotions. She told me she doesn't talk to her anymore or anything. It was just something she really had to get off her chest.

I also feel really bad about being needy the whole time and cause I was doing it for so long which is my fault I won't deny that I can't figure out how to make better without her finding me needy anymore.

But she did say she loves me and she's not the kind of person to say it unless she means it.

The whole thing just bothers me I guess.. and I need someone to talk to and help me threw this.

Thanks!

Well, the times make a little more sense. I feel like she should have been open with you when it happens, but at least she said something.

It really sucks because sometimes learning the truth can make everything else feel like it was a lie, and that's never a good feeling.

Just tell her what you posted.

Tell her that you're glad that she was honest with you, and that you're having a hard time with it. It's a lot to take in. Tell her that you're having a hard time trusting her now, even though you want to trust her.

Be open with your feelings and try not to place blame, that's all you really can do.

And how can I make her see that I'm not all bad and annoying? Because I really am.. sad to say.

How can I change from being needy.
Cause I always say I love you and she tells me we don't have to say it all the time.. which bothered me. But I think in my mind I needed to hear it... I needed to know.

And even though I no I should back off a little bit now after all this I feel it would be even harder.

I want her to know that I'm working on this relationship with her with out the needy part.

Tell her that. Make sure that she knows that her confession has made you feel a bit insecure, and you could really use reassurance. But don't expect too much, because ultimately it is up to you whether you feel secure or not. She could do everything you think you want her to do, but that doesn't necessarily mean that you'll feel better. So whenever you're feeling needy, maybe get up and walk around for a bit, go to a different room for a little while. Separate yourself from her for a moment. Maybe it can help.

So really saying I love you all the time. And do you want to be with me, and how cute am I to do.. is very annoying? And should be held back? Because she says I ask to many questions.

Is it really unnessary?

Yes, it is unnecessary. And saying it too often can diminish the true value of the words "I love you". And those questions, can and will get very annoying. How many times does she have to give you the same answer before you believe her? If you're asking her this and reminding her all the time, then you have probably had insecurities from the beginning. She seems to have been very patient and honest with you. You need to think better of her and trust her more, despite what happened two years ago. Realize that she was honest with you. She's been carrying this guilt with her the whole time, and probably had a hard time telling you because she knows how you can feel. What she did in the past was wrong, but there seems to be a lot more for you to deal with, yourself, other than the cheating.

You change your behavior, and then your attitude will change. Bet your bottom dollar it works. Break the habit. :)

Make an effort of being more conscious. You already know what you're doing, now it's just a matter of catching yourself. Sometimes you won't realize until after you have already done it, but the more you think think think about it the easier it will become, until it is second nature. Sometimes you will slip up, it happens, just make note of it and be aware. Put it this way "if it would drive me nuts, I don't want to do it either"

Thanks so much for your help sweetie! I'll let you know how everything goes.


Sorry just one more thing.. her saying that it annoys her and I need to stop, does that mean she doesn't care?
