I had to go away for a little over a week for work last week. Her cousin passed away on Wednesday, the funeral was on Saturday. I never really met this cousin and they had a falling out before she and I were together but they used to be close like sisters and were neighbors growing up living on the same street. They saw each other when they couldn't avoid it but generally avoided each other.
On Sunday morning I get a text saying I love you so much, I'm sorry but we need to talk when you get home. I started calling like crazy because that's the worst thing possible you can do IMO sending a message like that. Unfortunately her phone stopped ringing so she must have switched it off. I was worried and panicking most of Sunday and yes my mind jumped to cheating.
So I get home yesterday and she's there and tries to hug me but I pretty much just tell her to say what she needs to say because I was angry she just messaged that to me then went dark. Her cousin died and she was devastated despite their falling out. At the wake on Friday she ends up meeting a family friend and drinking a bit. Then on Saturday after the funeral they end up spending more time together in a group then alone before she had sex with him several times on Saturday night. When she woke up on Sunday it hit her just what she'd done and she freaked out.
According to her she was devastated, not thinking clearly and just needed something to take her mind off of what happened. She was apparently in a really bad way and wasn't thinking about me or us just then. She's been nothing but apologetic to the point of near groveling since yesterday.
But Idk, I'm devastated, I feel sad because I knew she was always kind of torn up about her falling out with her cousin but this doesn't excuse her hopping into bed to grief fuck away her emotional pain. I mean jesus christ we've been together 6 and a half years, our wedding is in October. And I couldn't even sleep yesterday or last night because I can't stop getting enraged thinking about her being with another man regardless of the reason.
I looked at her this morning and felt nothing except intense sadness and disgust. She tried hugging me and I just left and went for a drive. I took the day off today and I'm regretting that because I'm just at home now with this shit playing through my mind.
TL;DR Fiance of 6 1/2 years grief cheated on me with another guy while I was working away after her cousin's funeral
UPDATE/EDIT: I did not read through every single comment yesterday. However the ones I did read were enough for me to do some thinking last night and realize that I likely won't ever be able to get past this. It would take a truly herculean effort for me to forgive her and move past this and there is every chance in the world that I might just believe I meant it when I forgave her but the pain from her cheating would remain and then reopen like an old wound at a later date.
There's also the whole trust issue thing - I travel for work quite a bit, at least once every two months and at this point I don't know that I'll be able to travel with the peace of mind I used to have before this weekend. I was cheated on in the past and I feel like anytime I get on a plane now I'm going to be worried she's off fucking some other man. I realize this weekend was a complete one off, I know some people may not believe that or agree with it but I know her better than most.
I really do believe her when she said it was a terrible mistake and she wouldn't do it again. I still love her immensely. But I wasn't worth being faithful to after 6 and a half years together so she's not worth giving a second chance. It would be a massive and foolish risk on my part. All she needs to do is be forgiven. I'm the one who would have to work through the pain of being cheated on, the task of trying to forgive her and making sure that I mean it and ultimately going through the extremely painful task of learning to trust her again. So I'm done, as much as that hurts to even begin thinking about and despite the fact that I still love her.

But, i refuse to believe that.... I’ve met pretty decent girls. I think only the majority are evil. I really hope so.
[–]user_miki23 points24 points25 points (0 children) | Copy Link
You met them as a prop as friend,orbiter or emotional tampon not as boyfriend.
They are not evil they are who they are. Hienas are not evil, they want to feed only.
[–]some1arguewithme11 points12 points13 points (1 child) | Copy Link
Ok it's more like women are animals. Not that they're evil it's just nature is made up of good and evil and our current cultural climate does not encourage any restraint on bad behavior from women. So since no one is training the dogs they've all gone feral.

That is why empires die.
Men do not want to accept how awful women truly are, that all the things we like about women are the result of oppressing them.
Look up Colttaine's video on the female power fantasy.
Men long to be the hero, to be recognized for his heroic deeds disregardless of what he was born as. Even men like han solo and James Bind show this.
Women long to be the villain, to get away with all the vile things she does and be recognized for what she was born as.

Women have zero concept of loyalty. They don’t love any man...they just love what a situation provides for them.
[–]yaorad[S] 5 points6 points7 points (0 children) | Copy Link
good point
[–]zubbs994 points5 points6 points (1 child) | Copy Link
They are masters at switching on/off their loyalties based on the situation - it can happen in a flash and they can justify the betrayal in their own minds just as fast.

Seen it firsthand. They don’t even think they’ve done anything wrong.

I know you won’t really like this answer but it’s the truth of this [clown] world.
Women are children with no agency.

Correct. But do not forget.
If Adam was innocent he would not be expatriated. Adam let her. He was supposed to know what is best for them. She neglected, and went for her own.

Why do some guys have to get fucked in the ass multiple times before they finally fucking take the hint. No wonder females think we’re dumb. He needs to get the fuck out of there before it’s too late..
[–]krugerand912 points13 points14 points (1 child) | Copy Link
It's normal for a lot of men to blame themselves. Especially when the women blames them too.
[–]UnsuccessfullyLucid2 points3 points4 points (0 children) | Copy Link
It's because society and everyone else has been gaslighting us since we were born.

The guy "is on the fence" about it, so he deserves whatever he gets if he decides to stay with her lol
[–]deadBeefCafe20145 points6 points7 points (3 children) | Copy Link
This is what happens when we don’t hold people accountable for their behavior. Cheating would be far less common if the aggrieved party laid down serious consequences.
I was once in this man’s shoes. I tried to get it to work because I had an infant son at the time. I’ll let you guess what was happening 5 years later...
Infidelity needs to be an immediate deal breaker again.
[–]yaorad[S] 3 points4 points5 points (2 children) | Copy Link
she cheated again??
[–]deadBeefCafe20141 point2 points3 points (0 children) | Copy Link
Yup! We have a winner!
I never fully recovered from that and filed for divorce about 2 years later. My only regret was not doing it sooner.
I’m in a much better place 5 years out. Still recovering from the totals of the loss, but in a much better mind space.

WHY do you even hesitate? Don't you have any standards? One chance, per person, per lifetime. Live it.

OP of that thread had been cheated on before too.
Will he learn from this or will he jump into bed with another thoft 2 months from now?
[–]Zachjsrf1 point2 points3 points (0 children) | Copy Link
He seems like a doormat, he will forgive her and be back together after a period of time. Such is the way of the simp

Men can be loyal to a fault. It's in our nature to trust completely those that we let enter our lives. Even when betrayed, an ignorant but good man will give so many opportunities to make wrongs right. Such a strong unwavering desire to seek acceptance from one he views so dearly.
The more of these stories that men post online, the plainer it is to see. Men are viewed as only desiring sex, but most good men want a stable relationship without infidelity and unneeded baggage. Women are viewed as faithful and caring, but most will always chase after a higher status man or one that they can use more to their advantage, loyalty be damned. Cutthroat split second decisions without a partner's consideration. That, or chasing after muh tingles.

Nothing new under the sun, if you push the right keys at the right time marriage doesn’t mean shit.

Fuck, another cock accident.
You know I see one time a street full of erected cocks.Many women tripped and fall in, many several times on the same cock.
