Question Posted Wednesday September 22 2004, 10:11 pm
My ex-boyfriend cheated on me, twice. When we broke up, I had no idea he had done this and when we got into a huge fight he told me. I feel so hurt, worthless and betrayed. He was the only boy I ever truly loved and he had told me he felt the same. We've been talking now, and he says he still loves me and wants me back. His sorry's aren't taking away the heartache but I still love him more than anything. I don't know if I can trust him yet and he's cheated on other girfriends. Do you think he could really mean it this time? I can never seem to move on from him and he regrets cheating completely. What am I supposed to do or say?
chaos answered Thursday September 23 2004, 8:50 am: "So who are you cheating on now?" Please forget about him because there is someone out there who will respect you enough not to cheat on you. And the fact that he only brought it up during break up tells me that he has no concern for another person's feelings. It was spiteful and thoughtless. The time to talk about cheating problems is when you are in the relationship. [ chaos's advice column | Ask chaos A Question ]

I really thought I was in love with him, until I actually fell in love with my current guy. (Now I know that was just major infatuation, not love.)
He cheated on me twice while we were going out, then we fought for awhile and my friend/his new girlfriend told me he cheated on me. He didn't even have the guts to tell me himself.
I doubt all of your guy regrets cheating. Some subconscious part of him doesn't care. I would not go back to him if I were you.
I say, once a cheater, always a cheater. But then, I've had bad experiences with two of them. Really, if I were you, I would try REALLY hard to move on. All this can do is hurt you. I'd stay away from this guy.
Sorry to be so opinionated about this, but I see my situation about to happen all over again, and I don't want that to happen to you.
I hope this helped!

storageanddisposal answered Wednesday September 22 2004, 10:21 pm: Hell no! He cheated on you more than once and you feel worthless? He's the worthless one. Why would he cheat on you in the first place? Because he likes someone better? Maybe. Because he was bored with the relationship? Could be. Either way, those reasons will return and he'll probably cheat again. Please don't tell me you're actually going to give this guy yet another opportunity to hurt you. He doesn't mean it at all. He cheated on you and his other girlfriends, what's going to make this time around any different? Is it the fact that he said he wouldn't do it this time and he's sorry? That's a load of crap. Maybe the reason you can't move on is because your actually listening to his bull shit. Stop listening to him! If you think I'm wrong, try dating him again, but when he cheats on you a month, or even a year from now and makes you feel 10 times worse than you do now, don't say I didn't warn you.
