Relationship Status

Single

 

.

 

Not really, it's normal to be attracted to other people especially when they are attractive. If you're not unhappy then you must be "happy"? It's not unhealthy to question your relationship, this is how progress is made and time less wasted.

 

-Single.. eh, I`m happy. I love everything & everyone around me.. I smile for the love that I do not possess. I live equally as a person without restrictions or a heart in possession. I am free..... in love with my surroundings. I`m lonely; but am I happy? Yes. Very.

 

Still single and very content so stay that way

 

In a relationship for 1.5 years. He "inadvertently" cheated on me around the time of our anniversary. Since then I've felt genuinely unafraid of leaving. However, things are going really well now. Great communication. I have become a better person from our experiences. I'm happy and I look to our relationship with a sense of both positivity and realism now.

 

wow haha, almost exact same boat. my boyfriend cheated on me a couple times in august...... and although we're doing good now, the whole experience made me realize that I can definitely leave him. and survive.

relationships are wack sauce... love is a crazy thing.

 

love must be amazing if you two can still be going out with the same dude after cheating has been done LOL

 

Yeah I could never deal with cheating...I'm a big time grudge holder when someone does something major, that made me even question the trust or love.

I have been cheated on and beaten in a relationship...and the one who cheated hurt me the most.

But I'm married now...and trust, loyalty, and companionship have been established between us, and now the only direction we can go is up.

 

Together for 2 years, took a nice break, together for about another year.

A relationship is some of the hardest work that you'll ever do. The good ones create an environment of growth for each party.

I am happy with where we are right now. This time around is a completely different ballgame.

 

how does inadvertent cheating work?

 

I was wondering the same thing. i guess someone slipped on his dick or he fell into someones vagina?!

 

Your boyfriend cheated on you, and you still have respect for him? Wow.

Do you have respect for yourself?

 

I have very little self respect, and even I wouldn't put up with being cheated on.

 

it's easy to say that.
it's also easy to say that you have little self respect when you are in a constant pity party. not trying to be offensive...i'm just saying

 

Not really. I think cheating is something you're either willing to put up with, or you're not. I personally believe there's never an excuse for cheating, so to me it's a no-brainer.

That's just ridiculous. How is it possible to have a lot of self-respect AND be in a "constant pity party"? What you're saying makes no sense at all. I'm more staggered by the stupidity of that statement than offended...

 

well...before you start calling me stupid......

i said it is very easy to give in and say you have 0 self-respect and self-esteem when you are constantly saying you have 0 self-respect/self-esteem.

but maybe i am wrong to say that that is a source of an issue (that i have observed) and that immediate defense and lashing out unnecessarily has something more to do with it...

 

No, me saying I have no self-esteem is merely stating a fact. If I said anything to the contrary, I'd be lying. Admitting to having no self esteem is no different to say, an alcoholic saying "I'm an alcoholic, I need help". You can only begin to address a problem, if you admit to having a problem in the first place. If you keep denying the truth, you have no hope of making anything better.

Pretending everything is fine when it's not will not help you in the long run. The only way you can hope to beat your demons, is to face them. Running away from your issues won't make them go away. They'll come back to bite you in the backside eventually.

Well, it is wrong to say that anything is the source of an issue when you don't even know the person.

 

I'm in a long term relationship, my gf cheated on me a few times in a short space of time and it messed me up for a while. I've stuck it out but its not the same, tough but still love her its just not the same, I sometimes think about other girls where I never used to before but I've not cheated, two wrongs don't make a right but its definitely weakened or changed our relationship. Who knows if it'll continue to work

 

This must be terrible, very difficult to you. Good luck, ScottUK!
