How to save a relationship after betrayal attempt?
Hello Everyone,
I’d like to ask you for help regarding my relationship.
My boyfriend of many years claimed that even thought he loves me apparently it was time to break up and try something new with someone else.
I was in denial for a while going all our love story, investment, time and all I would be missing out for letting him go.
After some days he told me he missed me and asked me to get back.
As happy as I was that we got back together I just could not let it go… And we came back to the subject and he finally admitted that the other girl had just rejected him.
Now we are still together but I feel devastaded and confused and keep thinking I don’t deserve to be the second choice of anyone at the same time I still love him.
I just can’t make up my mind between staying or leaving, I am still heart broken and all out of faith, and feel like he might be a tikking bomb.
Help?
Many thanks.

Dump him.
He’s no good.
And you (most probably) know it.
Out de door with him. After something like that your feelings had to have shifted. It probably won’t be as hard as you think.
He came back because he just doesn’t want to lose the sex.
Or perhaps he did have sex and just wanted a conquest?
I would not trust him as the next dalliance may be just around the corner?
How would he feel if it was YOU who did that, I would bet that he would dump you right away.
He has proven that he is looking elsewhere and is just staying with you until he finds one that he likes better.
Also he now knows that yu WILL take him back so easily, next time he just won’t tell you perhaps. Like everyone here, get out of this double standard relationship for good, you deserve better.If still not sure, talk privately with that women about your husbands relationship with her, I bet that she has lots to tell you.
I am assuming he’s having sex with the OP. That’s guaranteed sex that he doesn’t want to lose so he came back.
Time to ask yourself, what do you want out of this?
IF you want to save the relationship, then you may. But for your own sake, you need to sit down and talk with him about whether you two are in agreement on the ground rules of your relationship (do you want to open it up?) and if he can abide by whatever is agreed upon.
And you ought to ask him if he is just spending time with you until someone else comes along. If he is actively looking for a new partner, time to cut your losses and let him go.
I would not be able to trust him ever again, even if I still felt love for him. I know it’s kind of weird to still have feelings of love, but I totally understand that you do. I have been in that position before. The problem is, the respect part has flown out the window.
He was carrying on an affair with this other woman (whether he was having sex with her or not at that point) while he was still with you. He chose her. She, for whatever reason, rejected him. He came back to you, because he knew you still cared for him.
The problem is, now that he knows you are willing to let him come and go, he will go again as soon as someone he deems more appealing comes along.
So like everyone else says, he will probably do it again if another girl catches his eye. So maybe you should be the one to stop the relationship and see what happens.
Say “I love you but now I realize you do not love me the same way. I have decided to find a good man who is loyal and loving to me and will make me his priority. See you around!”
I bet if you stand up for yourself, you will learn more information anyway. Some guys just really like the chase, then after they get you they lose interest. Two can play that game!
Trust, is the framework of every type of relationship. Without trust, there is nothing that can be built….
