Is it still considered trying to cheat, when you are not with your ex?
So the story goes like this... me and my girlfriend were together for almost 2 years until she broke it off with me due to me not communicating with her after she had upset me. It was at that time where neither of us had called or texted each other. She was always adamant about the guy having to always call the girl, even when the girl was wrong. I got tired of doing that. So we eventually moved on until a couple of months ago she contacted me. I was still in love with her and did not associate with many girls so we got back in touch. I leave to go out of town for my college graduation and try to engage in sex with another girl. Although no sex, no kissing, or anything had occurred, my ex was highly upset and hurt from finding out what I did. The worst part is that she found out through my text message from a friend after she looked through my phone. And even worse is that me and my ex had sex when I came back from the trip. She lost her virginity to me when first started going together. The fact that I tried to have sex with another girl, even though we aren't together, wounded her. I want her back so much, but it seems too late
