I would be thankful that she came clean, but cheating is a deal breaker for me. So yeah, I'd be done no matter how much she begs or apologizes. If she didn't want to get dumped, then she should have had better self control

At what point in our dating? Cause I probably have cold feet the first few months too. I wouldn't cheat over it, but Im not that sexually driven. I feel like if you're 3 years in and they only cheated in the first couple months and never again, you're kind of childish for not thinking any further into it.

Don't @ me @jeffhardyb0yz

I'm not Jeff, so... @Lost_All_Senses Speaking as someone that has been cheated on before, that breach of trust is hard to come back from. My ex cheated on me and eventually felt bad enough to tell me about it. I tried to move on from it (we had a kid together), but from that point on, it was very hard to trust her.

Like sure, she tells me that she won't do it again, but how do I trust that? She already hid the truth from me before, so what was to stop her from doing so again? And sure enough, even though she swore up and down that nothing sexual was happening, she was secretly still hanging out with the friend that she cheated on me with. And that time I only found out because she had a car accident on her way to take him home.

So nah, not worth giving the benefit of the doubt.

It's fair to have experiences and not take additional emotional risks based off those personal experiences. But you just added a whole lot of extra onto what I said I was fine with lol. I went out my way to be specific about the only in the first few months thing. And the still hanging out thing is a whole other thing.

To me, I don't think anyone should feel entitled to 100% of the other person in the first few months. Unless you had a long friendship before and this had been building up to a relationship all along. So, if during that period where we still didn't really know each, you got cold feet one day and did something regrettable, Im not gonna judge the version of you 3 years into a relationship by it and only it.

I guess I should have clarified there. I mean that, because I've been cheated on in the past, I have zero tolerance for it now. So it doesn't matter if it happened early on. Once I find out about it, the trust is gone and I'm gone. I was just being overly descriptive of my past experience.

And I feel that you should be entitled to the other person once you both agree to be exclusive. Like, my girlfriend (not my ex) and I agreed to be exclusive around 2 months into dating. Before that it wouldn't have been considering cheating, but anything after that point would 100% be a deal breaker for me.

If it happened very early in the relationship, mostly. Coupled with a lot of remorse and reassurance. Like a lot. I probably should have said 99.9% though, to be honest.

I've noticed that questions about cheating don't impact me with the same force it does others. But I fully understand why it's such a hurtful thing for others. But I kinda agree with you. If we're 3 years in, and it happened like in the first month of it us making it clear that we were in a monogamous relationship, I'd probably shrug it off. At least, I imagine I would.

Doesn't that only work with communication? If she was sleeping with someone, didn't tell you, and tried to keep it a secret that she was lying about would that be a game changer?

yes and no

shes honestly mainly just into girls, so her being with another guy would be a shock in the first place, but things happen and we both live pretty crazy lives sometimes.

sex really isnt that big of a deal for us

I have no qualms with you settong your own standards. I 100% support you. Especially since you gave reason to have a paranoia from your past. Even if she never cheated on you again, you're better off leaving if the trust is broken over it.

Yeah. And I don't see why she'd admit it if she still was considering cheating again to any extent. Unless her manipulation tactics are just that deep lol

And I have no qualms with your standards (although I do disagree with you about it being childish), nor am I attempting to change your mind. Just getting a conversation going, because I want to see it from other's point of view.

But this part gives me more insight into your reasoning.

That's fair. I can accept that addition as childish in itself. Sometimes I distract from everything I said before by taking a jab at everyone at the end lol. Work in progress. It's usually when someone else did the same first. Not that that's a good reason, but it is a reason.

Yep. It's an immediate trust breaker for me. It's not healthy to have "what if she's cheating on me again" in the back of your mind constantly, even if she apologizes profusely about the first time.

It would be healthier for both parties to just break things off.

as a man who strictly abides by the graham rule when i'm in relationships, a SO that doesn't do the same is not a match for me, and so cheating is beyond crossing the line - i'd end it

i also intentionally encourage my SOs to be unapologetically themselves and don't make the lines known in order to encourage full transparency

Dunno man. Once you establish the relationship is exclusive, there's no level of remorse and reassurance for me.
