Hi guys, pleas give your MATURE opinions.
I met my bestfriend on a social game. He lived in the eastern area while I lived in the western. We were the bestest friends ever, I was 5 years younger than him but I suited older age group since I was mature enough.
I promised him that'll see him rather than going on schoolies (Australian graduates drinking) when I finished school.
The years flew past very quickly, I went and saw him! I was so excited and happy to see him, I gave him a hug. The next day we did something again, then I invited him because it was raining down hard and I couldn't let him go walk off by himself. We then had sex, he said he loved me ever since but he thought it would be creepy to tell me, he was my first.
I decided to move there and we started to grow love on each other.
He wanted a "boys night" even though we were the bestest friends, I understood and let him go kindly. He promised to be back at midnight and said don't bother waiting up for him. I went to sleep and he got home at 4 in the morning. I was a bit worried if he was ok because he didn't look 100% and smelt funny but that was probably the alcohols or whatever. I went back to sleep.
The next day it was my day off and we decided to go shopping. We went to look at the dresses, then he said that he needed to talk to me privately. I was worried, we went outside and sat on the benches. He said he had a one night stand, that's why he was so late. I bursted into tears, he said he was so sorry and his eyes started to water up. I didn't want to look at him. I walked home and told him not to follow me. I cried non stop. At 5 he came home with gifts for me. I didn't bother looking at him. I ignored him for a week. I knew that he was starting miss me. I then finally said it.
"Why did you cheat on me?"
"I don't know, I'm an idiot that's why. I'm really sorry, I love you a lot."
"If you loved me so much you wouldn't of cheated on me."
"I don't know what was going through my head back then, I was a complete idiot. I love you."
"Shut the ***** up." I never swear at him. But him saying "I love you" has to be a joke. I packed my bags and said I was leaving him, he begged me not to go and starting crying and said he loves me and he's a jerk. I said ok and staying with him. The fact is, should I forgive him? We've been together now for 3 years and this was the only time he has ever stuffed up... We've been bestfriends since I was 14 and stuck up for each other. I was sexually assaulted a year back and he was supporting me so much and looking after me and said it was ok and he was there for me everyday 24/7.
I don't know... I love him a lot it's just I need an opinion from someone else.

He needs to do a lot more than insult himself and cry. You have held your end and the time you trust him to go out he cheats? Be very careful with how he acts and what he does, if you feel like you can trust him again and believe his excuses.. Make him work for you and really regret and learn from what he did.



Ask him what will be different from now on for him to make you trust him again. Do not tell him what to do or say let him tell you what he will do.



Cheating can lead to no trust and no trust can lead to a very painful relationship.



If you forgive him move on and never look back or talk about it. Be sure you can move on and he will as well.



Bet of luck to you!

Cheating for me is a deal-breaker but he genuinely sounds sorry if you can accept him sleeping with someone else in his past you might be able to get past this, so my advice is make him earn his respect back don't just give it to him willingly also be sure to keep tabs on him and if he ever makes the same mistake again then dump him without another word or chance.

I am not saying this is the exact same way he is, but guys can get very impulsive, especially with alcohol. I remember once I had a girlfriend and I drooled over another girl, but I remained faithful. I mean, she was beautiful to the point of breath-taking, but I would never have done anything like that with her. If you really think his apology was heart-felt, I think you should forgive him. All relationships go through hell, good ones get through it.

I dont know how this helps, but I felt like I should put it here.

I think you should! He decided to tell you the truth, he could've easily lie and not tell you. But he loves you so much he was honest, it was one night stand there weren't any feelings involved! I think u should give him another chance. But make sure you put ur foot down and explain that if ever something ever happens again you wouldn't even bother listening! But he loves you honey (:
