Girlfriend away - should I worry

    I've been seeing this girl for 2 years. She has gone travelling with friends to the USA for 2 months. We agreed to be faithful. Now she tells me she has being faithful, but "fooled around".

    I tried to put it out of my head but keep thinking about what she got up to. I wish I hadn't. She told me how she shared a bed with a guy. Said they didn't have intercourse, but did have oral sex.

    Should I forget about this? As a holiday experience or worry?

    Sorry, but the relationship's over. No question about it.

    She said she's remained faithful but has had oral? That’s not staying faithful to you. Even if it was only a snog she would still have been unfaithful to you.

    You need to have a chat with her and ask her if she is going to continue doing this while she is away. If so you need to have a long hard think about getting back with her. Can you forget this and move on when she gets back? Or maybe she is doing this so you lose interest in her?

    I think its very selfish of her to tell you this while she is still away tbh.

    She said she didn't expect things to go that far. They had been drinking all day as a group and she thought it would be ok for them to cuddle (it was very cold that night). It was the next morning before she realised what she'd done. She cried when she told me and said it was a silly thing she felt bad about.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,429 ✭✭✭✭star-pants


    Agree with the others here.
    That's ridiculous - she's only gone for 2 months not a year and even then people can stay faithful. 2months is nothing in the scale of things.

    You guys made an agreement to stay faithful to each other, she's broken that - she's not even just kissed someone, she's done what she's done. In my book, that's game over.

    You need to think if you want to be with her when she comes back, personally I don't think I could. That she couldn't go a few weeks? (as I assume her 2months aren't up yet) It's not something I'd class as 'holiday experience'.

    edit - just seen your new post.
    'it was very cold that night and wanted to cuddle' ? = lame excuse to me.
    If she was 'that drunk' she'd have passed out before being able to do anything.

    then again - it's up to you, what you think of it.

    I'm sorry but she put herself in that position. She was willing to cuddle another guy instead of getting an extra blanket or putting extra clothes on.

    You dont just get into bed with a guy for a cuddle. By doing that you are leaving yourself open to something happening.

    If she doesn't see it as cheating you're probably on very different wavelenghts.

    If you do consider this to be cheating (like most people would) then it's over.
    Move on.

    Sorry.

    Jeebus, give her the bullet mate.

    Its not rocket science this for her, "didn't have intercourse but had oral", wow but her meaning of faithful is fupped up!!!

    Do yourself a favor and save heartache in the future but give her road.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,394 ✭✭✭ManOfMystery


    It's called oral SEX for a reason. She cheated on your, despite her protestations ...... she's trying her best to play this down.

    In my book at least, this would be a deal breaker.


  • Posts: 6,645 ✭✭✭ Julien Colossal Oat


    I can't believe you're even asking this. She cheated on you. She didn't even have the balls to say 'look, I made an awful mistake', instead she pretended she didn't know what was happening? Stupid bints like her are why some men think so little of women. Dump her.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 68,173 ✭✭✭✭seamus


    Even getting down to the basics - a cuddle may not constitute cheating, but she wanted that cuddle because she was attracted to the guy and she acted on that attraction. She put herself in the situation.

    Remember, it was a "mistake", not an accident. Big difference. Tell her now that it's over, and go off and enjoy yourself.

    If she can't go a couple of weeks without sticking some other guy's cock in her mouth, then you can be assured that she will continue to do this kind of thing and then bawl about how she'd been drinking and didn't intend for it to go that far, until it gets to the point where she's going out with her mates, riding all around her and making you look like a complete mug.

    She has no respect for you. If she did, she wouldn't have even cuddled with this guy. Dump her. Not when she gets back, now.

    Agree with the rest of the posters, very cruel to tell you while she's still away, gonna leave you torturing yourself til she gets back,

    Best to give her the chop and move on buddy.

    What this literally says is "im not cheating on you but i cheated a bit".
    Said they didn't have intercourse, but did have oral sex.
    That's cheating man. After 2 years and she doesnt' consider this cheating, she hasn't got a clue.
    Should I forget about this? As a holiday experience or worry?
    Me and my girlfriend are in a long distance relationship. We went 4 months without seeing each other before christmas and neither of us cheated. We've been on seperate holidays as well and didn't cheat either. Your missus couldn't even go 2 months without "accidently" blowing some guy she decided to share a bed with to keep warm? Sorry man, id say the best thing to do is give her the boot and don't look back. It's not just the act itself, it's more the way she tried to pass it off as nothing. It just means that if she can get away with once, she'll do it again.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 22,559 ✭✭✭✭AnonoBoy


    "Oh it was cold, I needed someone to cuddle."

    Please.

    She wanted a bit of action and now feels bad. Tough. She did it.

    Sorry dude but she'll most likely do it again.

    End it.

    She'll cry and apologise and say she's sorry (and she may be sorry). But if she can't head off for a few weeks without blowing someone else then she's not the girl for you.

    Believe me. Save yourself the heartache down the line and just end it now.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,428 ✭✭✭sunnyside


    Sharing a bed to keep warm is a really sexy thing to be doing, it's not practical at all. Exception probably if you are climbing mountains in the snow or something. Otherwise hot water bottle or extra clothes.

    +1.

    You deserve better than this OP.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 35 Kicks


    Everyone has it spot on here - "Forget about it?" Please don't do that to yourself! Come on, think about it, a drunk snog is probably the only thing you could consider forgiving (and I mean consider forgiving) but same bed and oral sex? Big red flag on that one, especially since it's two years you guys are dating now...if it was two weeks then you might say you hadn't been through the "we're a couple" thing but two years is ridiculous.

    What now? You meet her off the plane and give her a welcome home kiss...you sure when you kiss her you won't now be thinking where her mouth was not so long ago while you two were supposed to be together?

    For me this would be so cut and dry end of relationship from the moment she would have told me that - regardless of drink she actually made that choice, no-one accidentally gives someone oral and continues it, she wanted to do it and you're being taken for the proverbial ride if you continue to stay with her.

    And it was a cold night - that's the worst excuse in the history books - like others said, get a blanket, hot water bottle, turn on the heat, wear some extra clothes... Hey put it this way, if you go away someplace and are cold, are you going to warm your face between some girls legs? Think she'd go "oh really? it was cold and you put your tongue inside a girl for some warmth, that's FINE babe! As long as you didn't get frostbite, I'm so glad you found warmth that night"...eh, I don't think so!

    End it and find someone you deserve.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 2,420 ✭✭✭WellyJ


    Really simple this one. Get rid.

    You should'nt forget it,you should dump her,thats not acceptable,Id show her the door if I was you.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 25,953 ✭✭✭✭kryogen


    as has been said, give her the bullet

    not worth holding on to something if you are the only one who is 100% in the relationship

    she broke the bond you have, in my experience its almost impossible to recover from it

    the biggest issue i would have is that after telling you she blew another guy she said that she had been faithful?? wtf like?

    you have had a lucky escape here imo


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 25 FoldingFTW


    End it now she is a cheat and if she thinks its not cheating, she will keep doing it, leave now and keep your self respect. How are you ever gonna have piece of mind again while she is out with friends. Ultimately i can only see you becoming paranoid and never having any peace of mind with this girl and you are only going to torture youself. End it move on and find a girl who deserves you.

    Also ok some girls get really drunk and end up kissing a guy and have sex because the guy on top is doing all the work. But really how if she is so drunk can she give oral and not know what she is doing. This is a lousy excuse really, not that im defending girls who get drunk and end up having sex.

    Thanks for all the replies. Everyone is saying the same thing? End of the relationship? The trouble is that I love this girl so much. I can't imagine not having her in my life. Perhaps I should have gone with her (I couldn't get all that time off work) and this wouldn't have happened.

    Also, I may have done things to push her away. I acted jealous before when she started going swimming with a male friend at her job. I overreacted saying that it wasn't right. My selflessness might be the real problem here? Or part of it anyway.

    Did *you* put the other man's willy in her mouth too?
    No excuse.
    Don't let her make you doubt yourself! It's ridiculous that she'd try to brush this off her and onto you.
    She cheated.
    It's not your fault!
    How bad would you feel if the situation was reversed and you had gone off with another girl?
    Would you feel like you had cheated?
    If so, welcome to the world of being human!

    Don't start to doubt yourself!

    but she obviously doesn't love you to that extent

    End it Mate, don't listen to her apologies. It would be one thing if she kissed someone while drunk but she blew a guy, thats more or less one night stand.

    .

    Wanna bet?
    You are spot on - it would not have happened then.
    But in 5 yrs with 4 kids - you would have come home early some day to find her keeping some random stranger warm.

    Don't walk - run.
    FFS - and stop making excuses, like -"I love her so much"
    One sided love is not love. Trust me - you will get over this b1tch - and you will find someone who will love you as much as you love them.

    Leave her - staying with someone who spun you a line like this - does not show someone sorry for messing up - it shows someone who thinks you are so thick that you will buy any excuse.
    What will it be next time? - err the cops arrived - he had to hide it or be arrested for indecent exposure and there was only one place it could go...

    Run.

    Ok but you didn't ... jesus man, sounds like your blaming this on yourself! Snap out of it! A relationship should be able to last through someone being away from 2 months without her giving some guy a blowjob!!!

    You sure she wasn't blowing him too? She seems willing to do it to some guy she only just met... There's nothing wrong with a little jealousy, her reaction to you being jealous is to do what she did? Well then you can't live like that, jealousy is natural and you have to be allowed to show it sometimes otherwise you're just a puppet playing a part in the relationship.

    Please please please dont blame this on yourself! By your responses you sound a little fragile, maybe because you're in a really bad place right now. Try to look at it as if this was a friend of yours, he tells you his girl went away from 2 months and gave a guy a BJ...what would you tell him!? "She's a great catch, hang onto her bud she'll treat you right, she's definately marriage material." No chance!

    It's not your fault! You did nothing to deserve that - if she wants that sort of thing then she should have broken up with you before leaving. Is there a penis shortage or something? Like if she realised thats what she wanted there's nothing stopping her not blowing him, ringing you the next day saying she wants a break, then meeting the guy another day...she did this while you two were in a relationship together.

    I'm the forgiving sort, but that would be way too far for me. By you not reacting and dumping her arse you're tacitly approving of it. Actually nothing tacit about it. Youre saying to her "I could never get anyone like you so I'll let you do anything to me because I have self esteem. Please walk on my heart". No way mate. Scrape her off

    You'll find someone else. Someone better. Fact. half the world are women. Yu reckon with those odds you wont find better than this disloyal person? Do yourself a big favour and drop her cheating arse. Id put money this wasnt the first time either.

    Many worry about Artificial Intelligence. I worry far more about Organic Idiocy.

    So now you have to go everywhere with her to make sure she doesn't 'accidentally' have sex with anyone???
    Or next time you ask 'who're you texting?' she's going to hop out and score some bloke cuz you're ''jealous''?

    Look I honestly get how it's hard when you love someone and you don't want to let them go. But this girl couldn't last a matter of WEEKS without having oral SEX with a guy. She didn't just drunkenly kiss the chap, she went a whole lot further. Which requires being awake and thus having some idea of what is going on. She didn't say she started it and then stopped going 'omg what am I doing'.
    She did it, then said she was being faithful, then said 'no well I fooled around a little', then cried at you saying 'oh I'm so sorry'.

    Sorry buddy, I've been cheated on before, it's sh*tty and tbh no matter how much I cared, I would never be able to trust them again. It would always be in my head, and without trust, you have no relationship.

    What if she goes away for a few days on a girly weekend? You can't go there - what if she gets drunk and cold?

    I'm really not trying to be b*tchy, but if she can't last a few weeks without cheating like that, you really really need to call this relationship into question.
    *You* may love her, but from what she's done, she doesn't love you enough.

    That's it right there! You'll basically be worried now even if she's bloody cold :eek: cause she needs a guy to warm her up...get rid of her fast!

    It's ironic; I'd nearly have said that to her. As part of the following sentence.

    "I'll never be with anyone like you again; Thankfully!!!!

    The next person is going to be someone worthwhile; someone who respects me and doesn't act like a desperate, thoughtless tramp
    "

    P.S. BTW.....if you do go against all the advice here, at the very least tell her to go for a check-up before ye have make-up sex (it's a bit like "on holidays, drunken non-sex" only with a doormat that takes someone back after they've been shown 100% pure contempt) because you don't want to catch anything....actually, I don't even know how you could kiss that mouth, but that's entirely up to you.

    Would it be ok for you to to get oral sex of another girl?
    Your still being faithful in your eyes.

    For your own sake dump her
