Social_Leper, I appreciate your honesty and I understand where your coming from. However, to answer your question, no I don't believe she did anything "wrong". Here's why:Social_Leper said:I accept it was more that my expectations were grossly misaligned and probably unrealistic, which is why I am only championing a break up when you are 100% certain you don't want to be with this girl again - that wasn't the case with me. I broke up with her because I was angry.
And this is probably my ego talking but I also think that she should have made more of an effort to reconcile. IMO sleeping with someone else (especially as a girl who has only slept with ONE guy) is something you should really be doing when you're certain there is no hope to get back together. She claims she saw no hope but I wasn't entirely convinced.
Well, her whole clean "good girl" image was one of the reasons I liked her. Knowing she could so easily spread her legs kills the attraction. Ok, maybe not attraction but certainly the love.
Pretty much. Yes. Although if I'm entirely honest with myself I know that she love[d] me and yes I treated her like sh*t but I just think she showed very poor decision making in the aftermath.
Not exactly loyal, but as I mentioned to you sleeping with someone else is MASSIVE. You can't undo that. And it begs the question, "is that all it took?". A few words and you basically do something that destroys any chance of a future. I get some women take grief badly but come on...have more sense.
I see your point.
What do you mean by this?
Also your questions suggest you have a different opinion about this then me. You don't think she did anything wrong?
1) I think the moment you throw that fishy back into the water, what she does is no longer your business. As hard as that is to accept when you've got so used to being with her
2) If I remember correctly you said she was a foreign national, German no? Well have you ever being dumped on foreign soil? It stings that little bit more. You look around for your support system that you have at home....and it's possible she didn't have that.
3) She was a virgen when you got your filthy paws on her :yes: Basically, you trained her sexually. You probably wanted her to be both a puritan and a liberteen (with you). She had sex on tap in the relationship. You cut her supply.
....no support system (i'm assuming) no intimacy and no sex.
When she told you she was with someone else....you jumped on your high horse.....and your in danger of being a martyr now...."I was wronged"
It sounds like you didn't want to finish with her (I could be wrong) but were a bit stubborn with your decision.
It almost makes me think of that wonderful sitcom "Friends" when Ross screams...."We were on a break!!!!!" But Rachel won't have any of it...she stubbornly sticks to her guns..
I said attachment issues....as maybe you became too attached....it happens.
But just imagine if you were in a relationship now and the girl finished with you.......you would probably go no contact and try to bang another girl, no? to get over it fast? has she not got that right?
