He Caught His Girlfriend Grabbing Coffee With A Male Coworker She Emotionally Cheated On Him With
This 28-year-old guy has been dating his 25-year-old girlfriend for four years, and two years ago, they moved in together.
Overall, he says their relationship has been excellent, but that changed a couple of months ago when his girlfriend started getting way too close to one of her male coworkers.
Four months back, his girlfriend began spending a lot of time after work at local bars with her coworkers, and she would come home after the bars were closed.
He really had no problem with this, as he assumed she was hanging out with a bunch of her coworkers.
“One night in November, she came home, and I could hear her talking to a man outside the window,” he explained.
“I looked outside and she was hugging this man for a few seconds before they said goodbye. Not that weird, right? Well, this guy has been flirty with her in the past, and I was not aware he was one of her new work friends group.”
He chose to keep quiet and not address this with his girlfriend, as he trusted her to not allow anything inappropriate to go on between her and her coworker.
That’s not to say this didn’t bother him, as it did greatly, but he didn’t consider this to be a reason to destroy all of his trust in his girlfriend.
A week after that, his girlfriend went out after work as usual, and she arrived back home at midnight.

He realized his girlfriend’s male coworker was walking her home and giving her a hug before she walked through their front door.
“This time, I asked why he was walking her home, and after a bit of back and forth, she admitted that although she goes out with a group from work, it always ends up just the 2 of them, and she had gotten closer to him,” he said.
“We had a few fights about this, and eventually, she admitted that there was something between them emotionally, not physically.”
“I told her that in order for us to continue to be together, she has to distance herself from this guy; she cannot completely ignore him as she works closely with him.”
So, after his girlfriend admitted to emotionally cheating on him, she said sorry and promised to no longer spend time with her coworker outside of office hours.
She also maintained that she would stop being friends with this guy as well, and he was happy with the solutions his girlfriend offered.
It’s been a couple of months since this, and he feels that he and his girlfriend have only grown closer to one another. He also believes the damage his girlfriend’s male coworker has done to their relationship has been smoothed over.
“I thought this would be something we put behind us until I saw her getting coffee with this guy on her lunch break yesterday,” he continued.
“I said nothing to her and doubt she knows I even saw. I’m stumped on what to do next.”
