Right When She Started Dating Her Boyfriend, He Slept With A Girl That He Swore Was More Like His Sister And This Is Still Bothering Her
A 20-year-old girl has been with her 24-year-old boyfriend for 6 months now, and they both met in an interesting way, and it has nothing to do with dating apps.
“We met while going on an adventure and falling down a hillside together we ended up falling in love as well,” she explained.
“We both, a few months after that adventure, confessed our feelings for each other but I let him know that I would much prefer to take things slow.”
The relationship that she was in before she began seeing her current boyfriend was quite hard on her, and so that’s what made her hesitate to jump right into something new.
She and her boyfriend did go slow, and she was happy, though they never referred to one another as girlfriend and boyfriend in the beginning.
After a month of seeing one another, they did become official with each other, and before they did though, her boyfriend was living with several roommates.
One of his roommates was a girl her boyfriend swore up and down was more like his baby sister.
Several weeks into dating her boyfriend (unofficially) he revealed to her that a couple of days ago, he slept with this girl he claimed was like his sister.
He insisted that he felt terrible about doing this, and she really had no response to what he said, as she was so upset.

“I was emotionless about it at the time, it hurt but I didn’t show it,” she said. “I told him I forgive him, since we were not officially official at the time I supposed that it was not considered cheating, and I would still date him if he would like to.”
Her boyfriend breathed a sigh of relief, but hours after she gave him a pass, she realized just how upset she really was.
She went home and cried that evening, and she kept crying multiple times throughout the weeks that followed her boyfriend’s confession.
“I later found out that they were friends with benefits and had been sleeping together for a long time but he stopped when he met me up until then,” she continued.
“Even now I still get “emotion flashbacks” that make me feel the same way I did that night and I start crying again.”
Her boyfriend quickly moved out of the house he was living in after sleeping with the other girl, and he did say sorry to her extensively.
It has been 5 months since she and her boyfriend did become official, yet she can’t shake the sadness that frequently comes over her when she thinks back to him sleeping with someone else.
She has said something to her boyfriend about it when it first started happening, but she quit bringing it up as it makes her feel ashamed to be holding onto this.
Do you think she should sit down and talk about this again with her boyfriend, or is there a way for her to move on and put this all behind her?
