I just need some validation if this is considered cheating or not. So I was in a relationship for about a year and 3 months. My girlfriend (now-ex), slept with one of my best friends. They had sex twice, unprotected. She told her friends (after calling a mutual friend, but more of her's), we broke up a long time ago. And of course all her friends will side with her, but they don't know the entire story and she believes that she didn't cheat. Her myspace blog says that "He's also claimed that I've been unfaithful, twice...which is not the case." Then immediately writes on why she hates me. Funny, it never talks about "did she sleep with my best friend."
I say she did cheat. So my proof that she was still my girlfriend at the time: 1) I saw the text message she sent to my best friend, "(John Doe, me) said it is okay for you to hang out and stay at my place tonight." He was visiting the town that day and wanted to party since he was overseas for over a year. To me, if she is telling him, "John Doe says it's okay," Obviously then we are together. Furthermore, I never gave any approval. She never wants a girl staying at my place, why can she have a guy? 2) We went on a cruise a week later (she still hasn't said anything) and she introduced me to several people on the ship as her boyfriend. Clearly to me, I'm still with her, and of course we slept together on the cruise several times.
The following week, we break up, but she hasn't told me she slept with my best friend yet until the phone calls start flying back and fort how much we hate each other . So what do you guys think? She has sex with me, then him, then me. If I knew she slept with him, I wouldn't have taken her on the cruise and would have broken this off for good. I feel used!
I do know that women become emotionally detached from their partner when there are fights, but does it give her the right to sleep with my friend? Do fights give women a "get free d*ck card?" If things are rocky and there is no defined agreement, "hey we are fighting a lot, it's okay to see other people" then it is implied that we are still together?
FYI, she told my best friend that "(John Doe, me) and I were over." So of course, he jumped in and slept with her. What's messed up was that she told him, "don't tell (me) anything what happened" when my best friend was leaving town the next day to visit me to party for a few days where I lived. What's crazy too was she didn't want me to go out with him to go to clubs and bars and she said, "stop living the bachelor life." My friend never told me what he did when he visited me, but the cat came out the bag when we had our BIG fight (which happened Sunday). Before she hung up, she said, "you should call your (best friend), something happened. <click>" So I called my best friend and he confessed everything. After hearing what my best friend did, I haven't talked to her since. I don't think she knows what I know. I feel like I need closure and need to tell it to her face and ask why are you telling everyone that "you didn't cheat." Her friends are acquaintances of mine as well, but since they live in the same town with her, they have more of a relationship with her. I just wish they can hear my side of the story.
I am so ANGRY. When we first set the rules of being in a relationship, she specfically said numerous times, "EVERY BOYFRIEND I HAD HAS CHEATED ON ME. I HATE CHEATERS. I WILL LEAVE YOU AND NEVER GIVE YOU A CHANCE IF I CATCH YOU CHEATING." I thought she was the most faithful person in the world on how passionate she was with this. I am just angry that her friends are dogging me out, that her family thinks of me as a horrible person (of course she would tell her side of the story), and she just plain cheated and with my now ex-best friend. Even her blog embellishes the truth about what happened. Slander? She's even stated legal action (harassment) if I contact her. I feel like I'm on a Jerry Springer show.
My questions. 1) Did she cheat or not? 2) What should I do? I haven't talked to her since the break-up and I don't think she knows what I know. Should I write her a letter, call her? Call her mom? Tell her friends? Blog it? 3) What if I catch anything from her when she had sex with my best friend? I did get checked after I found out she cheated on me. I'm clean, but there are those that STDs that takes years to show up. If I do get something what do you do? Retaliate? She has put my life in jeopardy. 4) How do you get over someone and move on? This is my second relationship ever and I thought I was going to marry her. I didn't gain anything, just lost her and my best friend in the process.
I know I should just take the high road and just move on, but right now, I'm just devastated.
