"I SPOON HER EVERY NIGHT EVEN THOUGH I WAKE UP WITH A NUMB ARM! Like Jesus..."

After years of knowing the word, I still laugh about how dirty spooning sounds.

Anyway, just a kiss? Eh. Let it slide this one time - if not, shackle her to the sofa and make her play Two Worlds leave her.

If she'd fucked someone then fuck that.

If she told you, there's guilt right there. That means she really does feel sorry about it and will try and do everything in her power to not let it happen again. Talk with her, and if you still feel like you can't trust her after a nice heart-to-heart conversation, then that might be the end of your relationship. I hope not. However, I feel certain that after a very serious conversation between you two you can salvage the relationship and still be happy.

Sorry man, I wouldn't be able to keep that. I'm not a distrusting person by nature, but if there is one thing I can't stand, it's people being unfaithful. Kiss or worse, it's all the same.
IMO, get rid of her. I know that's not what you want to hear, and that's apparently not what most people think you should do either, but to me, that's the only option.
Sorry about the situation, bro.

You gotta dump her. She wants that other guy. To her, you're holding her back. I don't think she told you because she's sorry or because she wants to keep you (if she wanted you, she wouldn't have said anything about the kiss); I think she told you to drive you away. To make you dump her so she doesn't have the guilt of dropping you for another guy. Might as well give her what she wants.

Just my two cents...

I hate to break it to you, dude, but once you have to start setting rules for your partner, you might as well just move on and find somebody that you can actually trust. She clearly wants outside of the boundaries you want to set for her, so my guess is that if you take her back, she's either going to leave you after she gets over the initial guilt of this incident ("I want to fuck other people and I know that hurts your feelings so bye"), or she'll decide she really doesn't give a fuck and do it again ("I want to fuck other people so I did, bye"). Either way, I doubt she's going to find the relationship fun anymore even if you somehow manage to avoid bombarding her with bad vibes of distrust and guilt, so if I were you, I'd just pack my shit and move on to bigger and better things; don't make a scene, don't get anybody else involved, don't lose your shit or get depressed, just go and rebuild. You're full of shitty feelings, I know, but they can be channeled into something constructive; one of the best things you can do after ending a relationship on bad terms is to go out and do everything in your power to make yourself into a better person, even if you're only doing it for the spiteful hope that you'll come across them again someday and they'll have no choice but to hate themselves for leaving.

Leaving now (which, in case you missed it, is something that I strongly recommend) is going to hurt like hell and leave you with a lot of "what if"s, but leaving a month from now after desperately trying to keep a relationship pieced together because you're afraid of letting go of someone that once made you happy? That's like refusing to stop playing Russian Roulette after the fifth click. I know you're telling yourself that there's always a chance that things will work out, that your circumstances are special and the only reason that there are naysayers is because you must have left out some crucial detail that would otherwise change their minds, but... well... I don't know what else really needs to be said. If you insist on trying to be happy with a Frankenstein relationship ('cause you're reanimating a corpse, geddit?), at the very least, you can take comfort in the fact that you'll definitely learn a strong lesson from it, and probably grow up quite a bit, as well.

EDIT: P.S., that talk you want to have with her tomorrow? If you go into it hoping that she's going to promise you a perfect happily-ever-after where she feels so shitty about what she did that she can't be anything but the most wonderful spouse ever, the end result is going to be whatever she wants. Please, dude, if you're going to volunteer to leave yourself open to that, at least have enough sense to take time to yourself to decide for sure just how you feel about this, and whether you want to take the chance of continuing your relationship. Miracles are not summoned by way of patient suffering.

I did nothing wrong. I've blown about $2000 on her the last 3 months, I drive her every where. She spent the last week at my place, went home for work and let the guy that gave her a lift home after work a kiss because she wanted it.

Also, if it wasn't for me she would date him but she wants me...

Jesus Christ, grow a spine man. Stand up for yourself, communicate to her that you can't trust her and leave.

Whatever you do...do not lose your dignity/ sense of worth! It sounds like you're a real nice guy, a pleaser.

I personally really didn't like the sentence:

"She told me specifically that she can't be his friend because she would date him if I wasn't her boyfriend and that she wanted the kiss."

To me that sounds downright provocative....like a shit test...to see how you'll take it. Chicks tend to do that (not all but most)...they want to see you get jealous (cuz in their minds it means you really care). You said it yourself, you don't get jealous....she could interpret that as not caring enough.

Just..try to keep your head cool....don't turn into a total Labrador in order to make her stay with you.

What the fuck do I do?


Edit: I called her this morning and she told me. She feels guilty and wishes she could take it back but I have honestly been a great boyfriend.
You get the fuck out of that relationship. Whether she's perfect or amazing or beautiful or whatever you need to get out if you aren't okay with cheating, which you clearly aren't.

The point is that she didn't respect you enough to not do it in the first place, she let it happen because she didn't value you enough to tell the other guy no. If you stay with her you're going to be left with paranoia because you simply won't be able to trust her anymore and she's going to be racked with guilt (if she really is sorry) and will try and make it up to you and regain your trust, but she won't, you'll always remember what she did. It will eat both of you up from the inside

That's the way I see it. In the end, it's your choice what you do and you need to make it, not me or anyone else on this forum.

a kiss? considering i have had faaaaaaaar worse done in respect with previous ex girlfriends (i.e. sex) and i could forgive them then you should be able to look over a little kiss especialy considering the short time you have been together, dont be too needy and dont be super sensative because thats probably whats making your girl look for men.

Give her another chance imo. Though, talking about it is always necessary, be honest with each other about what you feel and what you think could be changed to make the relationship more comfortable for the both of you. Because clearly, if there was the temptation, something isn't quite right.
And honestly, the maturity talks some people give are getting old. Maturity is down to the individual, and unless you are an abra or hold super psychic powers, you are unlikely to know enough about a person to judge whether or not they are immature. There's always reasons for everything, so just one action shouldn't be the reason to call someone 'immature'.
That being said, if it doesn't work out, remember its not the end of the world. There's plenty of people who would be happy to have someone like you in their lives. And always remember that. As corny, sickly and cringe-worthy as it sounds.

Everything this man says is truth.
I built another bathroom onto my house for around $2,100 and I paid someone to put all the plumbing and electrical work in.
Or think of it in gaming terms that's like 32 brand new console released.

You could've bought 32 video games! With tax!
More like 19 games (yay for overpriced Australian games/everything!)...

Speaking as someone from the other side of the looking-glass, that is to say I've cheated on past girlfriends I've had, I say it's probably best to end it now. In my first relationship, after going out for about 1.5 years I kissed, just kissed(!) a German girl when I was on exchange, and very, VERY drunk (think about 2 bottles of cheap champagne drank in the space of 20 minutes, for starters). Now I was 18 and there were other issues with the relationship but I told her about it the next day, because I felt terrible, I loved that girl immensely and I felt awful for doing that. She didn't take it very well but we stayed together for another 5 months, whereupon I ended it with her because, that compounded with the other stuff made for a pretty unhealthy relationship... and that was hard, believe me.

My second serious girlfriend that I got with about a year after I broke up with that one, we were going out for a good 2 years before I ended up with a drunken Swede following me home and making out with me, after I'd been found in a garden recently showered after throwing up on myself (I swear I'm not an alcoholic, these are probably the worst times I've gotten drunk ever). Again, I felt awful about what had happened, and I told her the next day, again. She was furious, but forgave me, and we stayed together for another excruciating 3 months... before she broke up with me, which I took pretty hard...

Point I'm trying to make is that, I hated myself for what happened, both those times, I loved my girls sincerely. But when that happened, I couldn't see it at the time but... if that happens that means that something's wrong. I did it because I probably wasn't ready for such commitment when I was that age, but I was too spineless to break up with the girl. Not that I was thinking that, but in hindsight that was probably why it happened.

Long story short, end it now. You may be able to get a few more months out of this, but eventually the trust, now broken, is going to become an issue. It'll happen eventually, so you may as well end things to save the both of you. And this is assuming that what happened was just a little accident. Combined with everything else you've said (i.e. the fact that she said she'd be with him if she wasn't going out with you) makes me think that ending it now is probably the best thing to do... it's not easy, but you'll ride it out.

End it now, trust is very important for a relationship to work, if you can't trust her not to do it again then you shouldn't go further with the relationship.

Dude, simple fact is, she told you, that in it's self is worth putting it under the carpet, I had vaguely similar situation around the same time in my relationship, I know what it's like, things just start to get nice and comfy and steady and then that comes along.

So just talk it over, but put a dusting of guilt over it, just a teeeeeenie bit, in an "I would never do that to you" angle, should stop it from happening again.

Ignore all the cynicism from the rest of the internet, just go with whatever you think's right, asking the internet will just make all those silly thoughts bigger.

Talk and forgive her. You won't regret it.

She told you, probably because she feels guilty. It's not gonna be easy to rebuild trust, but for god's sake it's just a kiss. Forgive her and move on. Especially if: "she was so perfect too." If that's the case then you can't let little kiss that she felt bad about later ruin you're relationship. People make mistakes, that's part of being human.
I would say 'this', but there are some conditions.

Yes, it was 'just a kiss', but the action itself is almost irrelevant. It's the fact that he trusted her completely before, and now he simply can't. The trust is broken, and that's a big deal. She's obviously not 'perfect' either, if she said she could have stopped it but didn't. Wanting it is one issue, as we'll all meet multiple people we're attracted to. It's acting on those impulses when someone else is trusting you to act appropriately.

She totally screwed up.

If you think you can forgive her, then do it. But I'd watch her more if I were you. Not in an over-bearing way, but I'd ask a few more questions about where she's going or hanging out. You don't have to be a jerk about it, but she's got to understand that she broke that trust, and now she's got to win it back.

If she can't deal with that, or if you can't forgive her, then end it.
It sucks, but trust is a pivotal foundation in any relationship.

People never change. Before you know it, she'll be back to the same 'ol thing.

In other words: IT'S A TRAP!!!
