1) Has anyone here ever cheated in a LTR?
-I have cheated once.
2) What were the circumstances surrounding it?
-Didn't love the current (at that time) gf. Knew I wouldn't feel remorse. So I ****ed an ex, twice. The ex had a boyfriend at the time. We did it on their livingroom floor when her bf was at work one night.
3) Was it worth it?
Short term - yes. It was a good night of fvcking.
Long term - no. I knew it would bite me in the ass in the long run but still went through it. The reason it was not worth it is because once you cross that line, it then becomes a part of you. Because I've cheated, it's now part of my perspective, and I am more cautious, perhaps a bit jaded, with the notion of falling in love and trusting someone completely. It's something I'll have to work through. Karma man, karma.
As a side note, the next week I broke up with my GF cause I knew there was no point in being together. It wasn't fair to myself or to her. And no, I never told that gf that I cheated on her.
