She Rejected Her Cheating Boyfriend’s Apology Letter After He Got Caught Texting His Ex, But Her Friends Believe She’s Being Cold
Most people know that cheating is wrong, yet some still decide to take back their unfaithful partners anyway. If your significant other betrayed you like that, would you be able to forgive them? Or would you flat-out reject their attempts to apologize?
This 22-year-old woman is in the latter boat. She and her boyfriend, who’s 25, had been dating for nearly two years.
They first met back in college, and she always thought he was extremely sweet and charming.
“You know, the whole ‘dream boyfriend’ package. Or so I thought,” she said.
That’s because their relationship came crashing down a few weeks ago when she found out her boyfriend had been texting his ex-girlfriend behind her back.
Their messages weren’t innocent or friendly catch-ups, either. Instead, she discovered they were exchanging heart emojis, texting each other late at night, and even saying “I miss you” a few times.
She immediately confronted her boyfriend about this, too, and he had the nerve to deny everything. In fact, he claimed the messages were “nothing,” calling them “just a joke.”
“I couldn’t believe it. And after a ton of gaslighting and, ‘Babe, you’re overreacting’ nonsense, I broke it off,” she recalled.
She proceeded to pack up her boyfriend’s things and leave them outside his front door. Plus, she blocked him on everything.

Well, her boyfriend didn’t get the hint that they were totally done. So, he wound up writing her a letter as an apology. He swore that he’d “realized” his mistakes and “changed.”
“He even got some of our friends to text me, saying I should ‘give him another chance,'” she added.
But while some people might’ve been inclined to give their partner a second shot, she shut it all down. She told their friends that the situation was between herself and her boyfriend, and she simply moved on.
“Now, everyone’s acting like I’m being cold and unforgiving,” she vented.
This has left her wondering whether sticking to her guns was justified after her boyfriend cheated or if she should’ve actually given him a chance.
Is it a red flag that her boyfriend gaslit her before owning up to the cheating? Did she do the right thing by refusing to take him back?
