ive been in a situation like that before but I was the one who cheated.. i was in a relationship with my first boyfriend for about 2 1/2 years.. i remember reading one of your posts sayin that your ex wasnt allowed to speak to girls, or hang out with them because its considered cheating.. he and i were the same exact way and we basically cut off all ties with our friends. i thought i was so in love with him.. . after a while, i started to think he was annoying because he was too clingy and i would secretly go off and kick it with other guys.. i then cheated on him with a guy who is my current ex and i was with that one for four years. he didnt like that i had alot of male friends and assumed i was cheatin all the damn time. so there were alot of fights ..physically and mentally abusing.. i was depressed .and basically those last 3 years of our relationship , i looked to other guys for comfort. i dated at least every single Type of guy there is and NONE of them were makeing me happy. we then ended our relationship last year because i found out he was cheatin on me with some 17 year old who didnt even know i existed... And that we both knew we were too stubborn to come clean with everything. at first i was furious because even tho i cheated, i trusted him fully.. BUT he and i are close friends now because we talked everything out and both agreed that we were together too young and too damn long.lol
so what i learn from past relationships?
-i learned was that when you dont have trust in someone at least 95% and bug them about every single detail of their life, it actually provokes them to look the other direction and look for other people..
-cheating did NOT make me happy. it was fun for the time being but i finally saw that i needed to grow the fuckk up and stop doing that to other people ( hope your ex realizes that one)
- dont smother them and let them be with their friends.. think of yourself as the "cool girlfriend" whos down for anything but STILL knows exactly wat you want.
-i also learned that i can be too jealous and stubborn and i need to let shit go sometimes! lol.
i have a new boyfriend now and we are great together. im still the same person i am , but ive let alot of small , petty, stuff slide instead of arguing about it because obviously it has not done me any good ! i am soo much happier cuz everything i have taken in from other realtionships, i learned from it and i know how to deal with man pms and all that stuff..
do not get back with your ex. he needs some maturing to do and he may regret wat he did and try to get u to come back or he may not . but think about YOURSELF and what YOU want in life because whether u realize it or not ,trust, those last 2 years u had with him is a learning experience and you can use it to your advantage and you will be so much wiser with the next guy. if that next guy doesnt work out, take it like "shit, im better than you!!!" and move on. you will learn more about yourself than you thought you knew. hope this helps.. and keep your head up girl!
