How Do I Get Over My First Love Who Cheated On Me?

Sammy82
So I've been dating this girl for about 5 years now. Things were great at the beginning but 3 years in her father passed away and things went crazy. During our fourth year together she started to spiral down into depression, most likely due to her father's death. Despite her constant sadness she never allowed herself to talk to me about her problems. As time went by, she started meeting some guys, 3 to be exact, and began to confide in them about her sadness and depression. This gradually developed into feelings and she was seeing these 3 guys behind my back, at different times of course. When I found out, she claimed that they were only friends and they were temporary relief from all the sadness she was going through. I believed her. All 3 times. She was a good girl when I met her, that's why i fell for her. She was very kind and considerate. But now things are so different and she's no longer the person I fell in love with. But I'm such a hopeful son of a *BLEEP* that I don't allow reality to soak in. Everyone of my friends, including hers, have been telling me to walk away. And I've tried but can't because I know she's got a medical condition that's making her make irrational decisions and act on impulse. I am also very close to her family. They love me just as much as I love all of them. Now i'm torn. This girl i'm with is constantly going through emotional ups and downs and is constantly looking for relief away from me. Because I am her reality. I remind her that life isn't always peachy. I remind her of the times we had with her father before he passed. Like I her family loves me. She still sees guy number three. She said she can't just cut him off like that. She needs time to slowly pull back away from him. But to me it seems like forever. He calls her everyday, and he emails her everyday. He's making her gifts and she would call him when she feels like *BLEEP*. And she does this while i'm around. Sometimes she would wake up in the morning feeling very irritated and groggy and she would be soo cold to me, then she would call him up and all is smiles and laughter. But to me, this is her depression getting the best of her. Can somebody slap me in the face with the truth. Friends have been telling me all this but it just doesn't register. How do I harness enough hate and anger to walk away. I am not an angry person. I try to give her the benefit of the doubt, but she's just abusing it. What should I do? What could I do? Life's a *BLEEP* and mine is a perfect example of it. I'm torn and everyday a little more of me dies because of her.

I'm sorry, man, about what she did to you. I know that you loved this girl with your life, like really loved her. And I don't mean to be cruel or rude, but:

Maybe in a way you got yourself into this. Maybe you might be too young to be in love so deeply. Maybe you got a little too attached. Maybe you were so blinded with her beauty that you didn't realize the truth. Maybe you misunderstood.

There. I've said it, and I've done what you asked: I've slapped you in the face with the truth. Hard.

What should you do?

Walk away. Just walk away from her and start anew. Don't try making up with her - she doesn't deserve you, and she's proven that many times over. Gather up the hurt and anger and walk away. Don't look at her with fondness ever again.

Will it be hard? Yes. Will it be scarring? Yes. But you have to do it - it's just one of those things. I'm sorry.

I think someone can totally be truly in love at a young age. I don't think anyone can, but there are people who are developed enough at that age mentally to understand love as opposed to infatuation. I do agree with your advice, though. You just have to move on - it's hard, it's painful, and it sucks, but you need to get on with life - there are other things to life than being in a relationship and, as unromantic a thing as that is to say, there'll be others as well. Soon, you'll find another girl and you'll forget all about past problems.
If you don't I'd seek therapy because then that's starting to be abnormal.

I dont know if this post is late or not but... she appears to be willing to be with you but you are, naturally, jealous about her "involvement" with the other guy. Me thinks you should give her space and give yourself a break - admitted it would be real difficult and you do not need to hate her to do it but uyou've got to do it, for your sake and for hers. It is bound to help you get a fresh perspective on things and life.

I hope that helps, good luck.

I'm really sorry to hear that...


But I'm actually happy to know that I'm not alone. And I really do understand how you feel, man.

Been through the same shoes you are currently on and I still think I'm still wearing the other half of the pair until now. Although yours is worse than I am.
I felt so relieved when I read your post. Thanks, man. Maybe you'd feel the same way (more than the comments, suggestions and advices) if I post my own story here.

I feel in love with this girl and she cheated on me so many times I don't want to count it anymore. And every time she goes back to me, I keep on accepting her like nothing has happened. And after a few months and promises, she'll do it again. I'm still wondering why I always fail to leave her after what she did to me. Maybe I'm just foolish enough to stick with her. And those cold treatment you were saying,... Yes, it's cold but it burns so much. (agree?). Well, we did break up (her decision) and I'm at lost for months..even now. I just made up my mind to set new goals. Goals where I can benefit. I believe it's the wise decision though it's still saddens me.

Wish that gives you some hope that you're not alone with this kind of problems.

As for her treatment, she may actually be just waiting for you to get out of her life. I know and understand how much you love her but would you go so far as learning how to hate her just to earn the courage to leave her? Sometimes, love isn't really enough.

Well then mate... a toast to us...

Hope to see you get up and love again.

I am sorry you are going through all of this, am not gonna slap you in the face, i feel you will walk away eventually, when u love someone is hard to let go no matter what they have done to you, but their will come a time when u can't take no more and know that the time has come to leave it all behind. it will hurt for a while, but u will get through it. u sound like u have some good friends, let them be there for you to help u through all this.

You will move on to love again, think a lot of us have been there and r proof biggrin.gif

So good luck

Man just walk away she's pulling you for your nose and you don't deserve and noone deserv such thign. If she like to see other guys let her and go away this is the best you can do for your sake. Why? Because eventualyl you will change after she keeps on cheating you like that.

It will be hard and often you will think that you made mistake of your life. Often you will think about it you will not be able to keep it up you may even have problems with sleeping but you have to do it. BEcause eventually she will eat you inside and there will be nothing just emtiness. Try to solve this man.

In my personal experiences I have learned that letting someone who cheated back into your life is a huge mistake! I have had guys cheat on me, swear they would never do it again, they were sorry, and all the lame excuses one could fathom. I had my heart torn out, ripped to shreds and stomped on more times than I would care to count, but it's always the same. Once someone has broke your trust, you can't get it back. Somewhere in the back of your head it's going to be there, and what she's doing just elevates it more. People change, sometimes for the worst. There is someone better out there, someone who will treat you the way you deserve, and respect you. Keep your head up and move on! I know it's hard, but it's the best advice I can give. Life goes on, sometimes relationships don't. You can't put yourself through the pain, and if she loved you, she wouldn't stray.

Dude, u remind her bout her father and that makes her feelings even worst. you know, girls are so different than boys. girls don't care what first love means. when girl don't love boy anymore, she started to do something that make boy's heart bleed. you should just go away dude. leave her. i know it's hurt and it cut deep down inside your heart. some scars will never heal, but it makes us (boys) stronger to face every problem we encounter in our life. let her go and start a new life. you will keep thinking and even dreaming bout her in early time after you leave her and its normal. you need time to heal your broken heart and when all is over, you can take a deep breath and big smile.

Aracley,

Please see my posting to Sammy.

I will add this: First, the old,'It's not what you think' line, tells me that he believes that you're a 'mark'. Secondly, the fact that he took advantage of a vulnerable and needy person, tells me that he is a preditor. So I ask you this: 'Do you value youself enough to gravitate away from such people?

Boy, it's tough. I know that it feels like knives in the chest. I know that everything happens for a reason. Perhaps it is better that you learned these things now, rather than 2 years from now.

My prayers are with you, and with him, as he needs them every bit as much as you do.

Hi Sammy,

I'm going to break rank here. I am not 'sorry' to hear what happened. My friend, you have just experienced something wonderful. I know that it doesn't feel that way, but you have none the less.

You have experienced love. This is priceless. However, what you are going through now, is the grieving process, which is also priceless. Grieving is said to have 5 stages: Denial, Anger, Bargining, Depression, Acceptence. From your post, I'd say you're well into it. A quick web search will prove time well spent on this subject.

Know this: Her infidelity, and betrayal has nothing to do with you. NOTHING! No matter what is thought, or said, regardless of all the excuses, rational or otherwise, we are responsible for our own actions. In short, she chose for herself. Avoid falling for: It was because of this, and, if only YOU had done that. Think of it this way: I lose my job, and struggle to make ends meet. So, I go out and rob a bank. Imagine me standing before a judge and telling him that the fault lies with my ex-employer. Guess who's going to jail. SHE is responsible for her choices. SHE is accountable for her actions, not YOU.

So you too, have choices. Do you get back together? Hmmm. That's a tough one. I do believe that people can change, espically when so young. The question will be this: Why am I (or is she) going to change? If I change so that I can 'get her back' than I am probably going to end up miserable. Even if I believe that I need to change, it should be because 'I want to be different' not because 'I want her back'. Doing the right thing, for the wrong reason, is doing the wrong thing. Do you see?

I know that it hurts. You will love again, for it is our nature. Move forward, slowly at first. Embrace your feelings, all of them, and move forward. This, my young friend, is called courage.

All my best,
Michael

Hi,

Excuse me if I let myself judging you or anybody else feelings who has experienced the same problems as our friends here described.

May be I know some code but for sure I'm not the one - the pure one - to give somebody I do not know an advice. May be I need it more myself.

I just want to quote a poem by Moalana (Rumi) my beloved poet of Persia (Iran). (The translation from Persian into English is mine and of course not that good, I just hope that you can find this helpful and feel that we have shared some feelings before even if we never knew it).

He says:

QUOTE
"You saw the light on the wall, felt in love with the wall,

But the eternal sunshine is what you really admire,

Now that the sun no more shines, and the shadows will fall,

Turn your eyes to the light of the eternal fire."



I am not feeling well now. May be tomorrow I come back and write a few lines more.

Sincerely,

CyrusX

Replying to Sammy82 It didnt register to my friend either but then I had him listen to tom leykis show after I couldnt get it in his head, google THE TOM LEYKIS SHOW and listen to his show and he will be very detailed about relationsips. You are wasting your time with this gal and who cares about her family its not YOURS ! It seems to me you are giving yourself excuses like leykis says DTB.
