View Full Version : I am so confused about my relationship

My girlfriend and I have been together for 7 years. She is 25 and I am 27. She asked for a break about 2 months ago. But we still kept in touch, and I did everything I could to win her back. We were still talking and I helped her with her new home and everything and that weekend she took off to New York. She told me that it was just with coworkers, and that its not with a new guy or anything. But everything failed so I backed off and did NC.

After NC, she came kept trying to call me and get in touch with me. After awhile I gave in and agreed to meet with her. She hugged and kissed me and asked for a second chance. I told her that I still love her and we can try and work it out. But here is the caught, I asked her if she was seeing anyone and if she took of NY with another guy. She said no and we made up a few times that night.

In the morning, I came across her journal. I just had to read it... She wrote that she did go a trip with "MR". And that he told her that he loved her but it was just getting to serious too quick for her. I was super upset so I confronted her. She said that it was just creative writing... o.O We fought for a bit and decided that we would give it another try.

I got home and started to really think... It dawned on me the initials of this mystery person. It was a doctor at the hospital that she was working at until she was fired for suspected misconduct around that doctor. Here is the thing that got me sick to my stomach, HE is 20 years older than her and he has a family with 5 CHILDREN!

So, I don't know what to think... if she is lying or if she is telling the truth.

Listen to your gut instinct, it serves you well. You know the truth already. She's lying to you. Don't play second best to her, you know that you deserve the best. Let her stew in her own deciet for awhile, don't contact her (I know how hard that is to do). But if she fears losing you for good maybe that is the wake up call she needs. All the best lovley man

Hi Lost,

Was her misconduct that they had an affair? If so, she's probably lying. "Creative writing" doesn't fly.

If she is dancing between you and the good doctor, and if you really love her, you would be wise to suspend your role as boyfriend (no sex, no dates, no plans, no commitment for a while) and switch to just "very caring friends" (lots of listening and understanding; room for her to do the struggling she needs to do, and insisting on the truth all the time and both ways). Then, she can figure herself out and you can grow. A few weeks of that, and she will see herself and you more clearly. Being such a friend will take big huevos on your part, plus some genuine compassion for both her and you.

Suspending your boyfriend status provides as way to determine whether you are "in" or "out" without going through all the outrage, fighting, and justification that most people do when they flirt with breaking up. Having already given up the BF role, you will be free to be more objective and resourceful in figuring out what to do. If she wants to be with you, and is ready to stop having affairs, you both will know. If not, you will know that, too.

Either your relationship will end or you will establish a gentle, yet fierce trust that most guys don't even imagine. It's usually worth it.

I know exactly what you are saying. I myself are in a difficult relationship, with a man who doesn't seem to appreciate the good natured loving woman I am. Isn't it so dam hard to break the emotional tie with someone you love heart and soul. You deserve only the best even though you prob can't see the wood from the trees when in love. Stand tall in the fact that you are a great man that has loads to offer the world and others. If you know your true worth show it to the world proudly. When she sees you chomping away at a life with her not included only then will she know what a self obsessed lier feels like. She will find it hard to live with the web of deciet she's created for herself.

Anything negative you do will be toxic to you. If she's messed up, and that's the whole story, she will pay in every relationship that occurs in her lifetime until she gets it and upgrades her behavior. Living deviously, she will suffer more than you might want to believe.

Don't try to salvage anything with her or to gain justice. Just go for the truth; the rest will take care of itself.

I am in so much pain right now.. I was moving on just fine then she calls me up after all of this because she didn't think it was going to work with the affair or scared of losing me.

I am not sure of the reason for her getting fired, but they told me that a nurse reported that they were not acting right in a hospital setting.

I don't think I can be that caring friend because of the history we have had together. And how she can just lie to my face and looking into my eyes.

I told her up front that I am NOT her safety, and if she had any hook ups with anyone just let me know. I know that we are still young and she wants to test the water a bit. SO I told just let me know and we can work through this. And that I hate being lied to. She reassured me that there was no one... BUT words are just words.
But if she sleep with someone else then that is a deal sealer for me. That just shows that she had no respect for me or herself for that matter.

We had amazing make up sex and she let me try stuff that she didn't let me before. So that kinds of lets me that that she was messing around because she is more open sexually now.


I am pretty clsoe to her family and it hurts me to think that she is using me to have an affair... so she can hide it from her family.

I just want to drive and talk to her family and tell them that./ We have broken up over 2 months ago but I still helped her because I loved her. But she was only using me to move, cover for her actions, and that she went on a trip with him, and that he is a married man with kids. I know that her parents and family would not approve of her affair.

OK. Your pain is so great that you can't be her caring friend right now. Recovering from that will take time. Just don't make it worse. If and when you feel strong enough, within yourself, let it all go.

While it's understandable for you to think about it, recruiting her parents by busting her to them is revenge. That will backfire.

You still might end up with this girl. She's been really dumb, but there is still energy between you. So, be discrete, think, process your emotions, face the reality. Let yourself grow from this, instead of getting twisted into knots.

This is about you hurting. So you want her to feel the same pain as you.(trust me I've been there). But this could backfire against you. You will just look like a total tool for doing it. And it's only going to turn her against you. Cause more drama for yourself. I mean if you really want to burn a bridge that's what you would be doing.

Yeah man I've been here a few times. You invest time and money. And emotion into someone for them to end up hurting you. It's normal to feel like they should hurt for hurting you. But the thing is. You would just be giving them all the power. They will know they can just use you. And yes people always after a relationship tend to do things they said the never would.

I know how it feels to be used. But the thing is if they did use you then they disrespected themselves. They ended up cheating themselves and not getting everything they could have from the relationship.

Listen to Lonely. You are wallowing in thoughts and emotions that can only do harm. Whatever she has done, she didn't do it to hurt you. Her mistakes are hers to deal with. You are now your problem.

Take pause then take a good look at yourself. Stand up and move on with your life! If you still can't and believe yourself stuck, get it out in therapy. But whatever you do, get out of this toxic loop.

Stop talking to her because this is adding to the torture your already doing to yourself.

Move on and let her go. You owe her nothing and neither does you. She have her own life to live and so do you. If she wants to run around with a married man than let her because she is going reap what she sow. Karma will catch up to her.

You still have life in you and I know break-ups aren't easy but believe me you will survive and behind every dark cloud is a rainbow waiting to appear. You can do it but you have to want to.

You don't know what is going on in their household and I think you should wash your hands and move on.

Yes, if my husband cheated on me I would want to be inform but I guarantees she knows something is up and pays it no mind and deals with it for whatever reasons. Or she might be in denial.

If she doesn't knows then she needs to wise up and wake up because everyone knows their partner is up to no good. It is called instincts.

However, you shouldn't dwell on it and should move on.

I know you feel that way. But you know. She made her choice to be with that guy. She's the one that cheated on you. Maybe that guy didn't know about you. Either way this will just keep going around in a big messy circle. Where does the hurting one another stop. Karma will smack you in the face for hurting them again and again.

While your anger, and frustration is understandable, don't let them make you act a fool, and regret it later.

No excuse for being immature, but you do need to get her out of your life until you have much better control over your self and the emotional dust has settled.

NO MORE EXCUSES, just disappear from her life.

Well why don't you try this then. Wait two months and see if you still care about hurting them so much. Right now your in a huge storm of emotion. You need to get away from it to think clearly. Revisit it in two. And if you still feel that you need to tell his wife. For her sake alone. Not to hurt the guy or your ex. Then maybe you can. But you really need to just take some time and get away from the drama.

Aww your not alone in feeling that way. I'm dealing with that right now. But you can burn the bridge without actually setting fire to it. Just do it in your mind. IF that is how that girl is she's probably going to do it again to someone else. Even if you teach her a lesson with you. She'll prob do it to some other guy.

Just burn the bridge down in your mind. Tell yourself she isn't worth the effort. And why should you help her out by teaching her a lesson. Let her learn the hard way. The best revenge is for you to truly find happiness. Let her bounce from guy to guy. She'll never be happy that way. But right here right now you can make the choice to be a man. Learn to let it go and walk. It'll server you far better down the road.

I've been out of this conversation for a while, and just picked up your thread. If I can offer a thought, it seems that a big part of your issue is power. You lost power when she took the initiative to leave. She took that decision away by making it. If you feel, and it sounds like you feel, like evening the score, "burning it all down," taking action, exposing her, will that ease your pain and make you more powerful?

If so, does that power express itself as control? Do you think about controlling the situation? How much destruction will it take for you to regain a sense of control? Once you have it, what will you do with it? What do you really want to do with it?

If taking action won't give you power, though, what will it give you? Once you get that, what happens next?

And, in all of this, who pays?

You have no control over her, but you can manage yourself better by exercising your choices (control is a misunderstood word) whether to hang on and suffer or let go and feel empty but free.

In that empty place you can find stillness, quiet, maybe not yet peace, but something better than the churning and turning you are going through.

Bottom line: let the tears flow and then be done. If you can't, put in some quality time with a therapist. There could be lots of growth in you as a result of this experience.

Know that you will recover.

I forgot to add what happened yesterday... her parents love me.. so I went to say thanks and goodbye because I could not do this anymore...

My ex called me and told me that we can work on this for my sake.. and that she is just trying to find herself.

But after she talked to her family, she called me text me back that she is sorry and won't be trying to work this out anymore. That she isn't happy and can't or won't be able to forgive herself even if I was able to. I told her if she had that much so say then she should have said it in person and not over text. That I thought I deserve more respect then a text for our 7 years together...

Such a coward, I don't know why but I expected more than that.. but after all it is coming from a lying cheater.. I need to some how get that through my head and move on...

You I'm trying to tell myself that.. I should force myself to see this (talk into the mirror or something lol).

And tell myself this.
"I am worth it to be happy with or without this person in my life. I need to live for me and not for them or anyone else because they are doing it for themselves."

Well you do deserve to be happy. But you got to learn what truly makes you happy by yourself. Only you can make yourself happy. You can't expect or depends on someone else to do that for you. Once you know how to make yourself happy. Then relationships add to that but are not the sole foundation of it.

thanks.. i have all the photos and stuff animals and other stuff she has given me... we are have a bonfire at the beach on the 27th... maybe i should just burn it all there..

In India, they have a ceremony called a puja. They put symbolic objects into a fire and release their attachment to them.

The bonfire will be a great healing experience. I've done it and it was sooo fun.

Your pain is very fresh, so how you're feeling is natural.

You want to walk out of this with your head held high. Like Lonely said, be the man; walk away and be happy. Your happiness, without her, is the best revenge.

Got to put my two cents in about your need to tell the wife: DON'T. She probably either already knows and is struggling with it or she knows and doesn't care. Maybe they have an open marriage. Maybe she stays with him for the money. Who knows and who cares. It's not your problem, so don't make it a problem. Just stay out. You don't want to wind up being a witness in divorce court!

Trust me, those two will crash and burn on their own. Do you really think your ex is going to want him forever? You know she's not the only one he's cheated with. Your ex will learn the hard way. It's the path she's on.

You're going down a different path, without her, where new and exciting things await you!

You mourn your loss and heal and after the pain subsides, you will start to feel excitement, adventurous. The unknown can make us anxious, but it's all in your attitude. Look forward to your future and who and what will be in it!!

Dude.. I think I scared off their relationship. Because she told him it was done and over. And he wanted to end it too because he found out that I know. I should have left it alone that they can both suffer in the end. But instead, I helped her learn a lesson. And he gets off.. Life works in a funny way...

Now that I think about it.. I was in the ER a few weeks back and he was rough with my nuts... I told her but she didn't say anything. Because I did not know that they had an affair. So I did not think of it... Debating if I should just file a complaint. Because that is not ethnically to examine the boyfriend of the person you are cheating with.. I don't know.

Such a debate... self-conflict is a witch.. I want to report him for this but at the same time, I think I should walk from this.

The irony of this, my ex from before this one (2years) is back. I think she wants another go, but I don't think I'm ready for any relationship at this point. Its weird how this works out. 8 years from the time we last dated, and she is back... I guess girls to realize what they once had when its gone.

If you file a complaint now it will just look like your trying to hurt that guy again. I say just let it go.

Sometimes people do tend to come back to what is familiar to them. But not always. But who really know's. Just be careful about the ex combing back to you.

It's not ethical. But what can you do but stir up a hornets nest of crap. I just think you would be better off just forgetting all of this crap. And work on moving on. If you bring up charges or whatever your just prolonging contact with him and your ex in some ways.

I'm going to say it like this. So what if the guy cheated on his wife. He didn't cheat on you. Your ex should be the one your mad at. She's the one who made the choice to hurt you. She fell for the crap he was feeding her. If he actually was. Or she just did it because she wanted to.

I have a problem. Now that my emotions are a little more under control. I want to really walk from this as the bigger person and just let things be.

But here is the issue, my best friend that has been helping me knows everything. I told him not to say anything, but we have a circle of friends. I don't want the rumors to going but I think its too late.. How do I tell them all to be quiet? It is crazy what one person can tell a bunch of other people. I understand that my best friend is mad for me.

How can I walk a way the bigger person when the news is starting to spread?

You can ask them to stop talking about it, but in the long run, you can't control gossip.

talaniman
Jun 6, 2009, 06:50 AM
Don't let rumors control your thoughts, or actions. which means control yourself, because you can't control what others say or do.

That's something you especially need to remember, as you do things on impulse, when you don't. Think before you act, thats how you are the bigger person.

If you let them control you, that motivates them to keep pushing your buttons, so they can make more rumors by your reactions.

That's only ONE consequence of impulsive behavior. You make yourself a target for bad, selfish behavior.

So pretty much don't do anything at all? After I told my friend, he told me not to worry because I will always be the bigger person. For me not to feel guilty because I was in such a bad spot... She did the sins, so she should live with what comes her way...

That's a healthy way of looking at it. That's why no contact is so important, so you can kick your habit.

I suggest a busy routine in the mornings, that calls for action, and not laying around dwelling .

That's what will slowly change your mind, by replacing old thoughts, with new ones.

Woke up feeling like a nightmare again. Then I checked my email.

My ex sent me an email saying: she doesn't know what to say anymore, and that she changed her number. If I needed anything to email her. And she is sorry. And for me to listen to Whitney Houston's "I will always love you" because it sums up the way she feels.

GRRR..? How am I suppose to take that? I was going to respond, but I think I should just let it be.

For some reason, I did not yell back at her. She was speaking with no remorse or anything.. Stone-cold. I was going to say, "if you did not mess up then there would not be anything to talk about." But I didn't, don't know why. I am usually full of emotions and act on impulse... I just hung up after.

I did not tell everyone. I had a best friend that I confined in. I told him to be quiet, he did the first time she cheated. So I thought this time would be the same.

I was really upset before, but I think it was more disappointment. I took the advice on here and did NOT spread anything! I just want to make it clear. I was emotional and wanted to mess everyone up before, but I took the advice from you guys and let it be and cool down. Which I am very glad I did. Thanks. I am happy that I did not action on those emotions.

Her sister found out but not from me. It was from the night that he was over at her apartment and her family came. Her sister knew something was up. And how the doctor was always around. I did NOT tell her sister, anything that's why I was surprised.

I was feeling down and emotional before but I told myself to give it time and not say anything. If I was looking for revenge I would have told her family and friends, and anyone that wanted to listen. I did not do that. I only talked to my best friend for advice and someone to lean on. *sigh* I was the victim in this but it is coming out as if I am vindictive when I am not at all.. . =/

I tell everyone else that NC is the way to go but I am have a battle with thinking vs. feeling. After all this was a 7 yr relationship that was like a marriage. It is hard as is, and I have other problems that I am dealing with... So please understand, I was upset at first and wanted an outlet. But like you guys said the emotions is slowly passing.


I loaned her a pretty large amount of money. I was hoping to get back. But I don't think she will pay me back so, I probably shouldn't ask.
