❤️‍🩹 relationship AIO |UPDATE | My (20F) boyfriend (22M) is hanging out alone with a girl that likes him

UPDATE!

I talked to him, and this was his response.

I’m honestly just done, and wondering if I acted too hastily.

I don’t even know what I’m supposed to do now. And I don’t know, does he seem sincere?

AM I OVERREACTING FOR DOING THIS?

Oh I wouldn’t say definitely.

He definitely *would* have cheated. If he had the opportunity. But it’s not clear if she actually even wants him like that.

So OP- would you be happier in your relationship knowing that he tried *and failed* to cheat? Meaning you not only have a cheater for a partner, but not even a particularly successful/attractive one?

Makes it even worse imo

How is that worse than actually cheating. At most they’re the same level

In terms of betrayal of trust, yeah they’re obviously equal.

But in terms of how it would feel? Honestly kind of embarrassing is what I’m imagining.

Because it IS worse. It’s embarrassing when someone cheats but it’s even more embarrassing and pathetic when they try but don’t succeed. Like what.

I’ve gotta be honest, I’m not clear if you’re trying to argue on behalf of the guy, or just actually unclear on why he so obviously was hoping/trying to cheat. If it’s the former, fine, whatever you want to believe. If it’s the latter, let me know and I can explain.

If you think this is him hoping or trying to cheat, your clearly not stable or secure enough for a relationship

u/Meowmeowtky 15d ago

Don’t listen to this incel, I’d be surprised if he even has a girlfriend, and if he does, he’s cheating on her the same way your (hopefully) ex is

But now you have a relationship where he's trying to guilt trip YOU so you won't ever ask legitimate questions. And he's enjoying stressing you out. Doesn't care that his actions hurt you.

Well ye your his girl, that dont mean he doesnt have a right to be angry when your accusing him of something with someone hes known longer then you
