happythoughts 0 #26 June 19, 2008 Quote I think most women cheat because their emotional needs aren't being met. I need to remember that line. The next time a guy cheats on his g/f, and uses that line, I want all the women to be soooo forgiving. Remember - he is not lying, cheating, pond scum - his emotional needs just weren't being met. (...or maybe it just looks doubtfully believable when I type it.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #27 June 19, 2008 Quote Does she sound remorseful? Did you ask her why she turned to someone else? Who cares if she's remorseful, its done and done is done. If its done now it'll happen again. If you're ok with that, then good for you. Understand that you can't control another person and if they are the type to cheat, then they are cheaters and they will cheat again. You can't control that. So you can walk away from the relationship or keep getting hurt.--"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Right now, she's sitting in the bar parking lot with a d- in each hand. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That's all I really want... just an equal and reciprocal amount of consideration for "feelings" when a man makes mistakes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #34 June 20, 2008 Quote Please don't tell me you're justifying cheating with that statement. No. I just remember something my Dad always told me; when you point your finger at someone else, there are three more fingers pointing back at you. Edit to say: I'm not blaming the OP, I'm just saying he needs to find out why it happened. If she's just a whore, then he needs to dump her. But, if the relationship is worth salvaging, then they need to have some heartfelt talks.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jenfly00 0 #35 June 20, 2008 Quote Quote No way either of these excuses are remotely acceptable. They can be filed right behind - I was drunk. I disagree. It takes two people to make a relationship and two people to break a relationship. If she was blissfully happy, there would have been no reason for her to cheat. To hell with the rationalizing ....dump em both.----------------------- "O brave new world that has such people in it". Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Leapinglizardto 0 #41 June 20, 2008 it depends. sometimes you have to evaluate the big picture overall before you can make a decision that you are going to have to live with. sometimes when one SO cheats, given the correct frame of mind & level of love/compassion felt for the 'cheating' SO the other SO (the one cheated on) can often honestly step back & say to themselves, ok where did i come up short, what did i do or not do (as the case maybe) to contribute to the events that led to the 'cheating'? did i not communicate enough? was i less affectionate than i should/could have been? have i not been tuned-in enough to or ignoring their needs? do i spend too much time at ------ (fill in the blank- work, the dz etc.) & not enough time with him/her? often times the SO being 'cheated on' in some way or another can earnestly find that a good portion or % of the fault that led to these events, was as much their's as it was the 'cheating' SO's. give it some thought before you respond in a way you may regret & can never undo. It's pretty pathetic when you have to TELL people you're fucking cool Skymama «narrative»This thread will lock in 3..2..

NtheSeaOrSky 0 #47 June 20, 2008 Quote What would you guys do if you went to a boogie and on Saturday night in the middle of the party your girlfriend who you came with wandered off for a few hours and you couldn't find her and then the next day she admitted to hooking up with some guy who you know and knew that you two were together and did it anyway? http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=3244660#3244660 Apparently happythoughts has a lead on a business to handle this for you.Life is not fair and there are no guarantees...

BETO74 0 #50 June 20, 2008 Why both? I would not blame the guy, I will dump her, keep friends with the guy if I was friends with him in the first place, she knew what she was doing, she is the one to remain faithful to the relationship, not him. I dont want to open another can of worms more than the one just opened, but why lose a friend over a cheater girfriend?? I think he did him a favor regardless of what this guy thought he felt for her, she obviously dont deserve himhttp://web.mac.com/ac057a/iWeb/AC057A/H0M3.html Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
