I've seen one person on this board own his fuq-up and accept blame for his actions. He got lucky and his girl seemed to keep him around ... real lucky.
Hey, ^that's me^!
With regards to my relationship, I wouldn't even call it luck.
Here's exactly what happened....
We'd been dating for about 2 months in college, then came the summer. I barely talked to her/saw her, even though she lived only 20 min away, and this was NOT my fault. i made all the effort in the world, but her deal was a combo of playing hard to get (even though we were ALREADY dating)/as well as wanting to be with her best friends alot who she rarely ever saw anymore (which was understandable). Since I hardly ever saw her, nevermind even talked to her, we had NO sex life. It's extremely hard to have NO sex life when you do have strong feelings for the girl, and are extremely attracted to her (she was my first REAL gf).
Anyhow, In my mind, since she rarely called, barely ever saw her, and we had no sex life, i concluded she was cheating on me.
Then during the summer after some parties, i had the opportunity to fool around with other chicks. did i like them? absolutely not. in fact, immediately after i fooled around with one chick in her apt (she lived across from my buddy's apt who had a party), i said i was going back to his place to get something and i'd be right back, and i locked my buddy's door behind me and never saw her again.
Did i feel guilty? absolutely. that's why i told her a few months later. call it having a guilty consciious or whatever, but i couldn't take in anymore. I broke down one night and told her everything. I explained how i felt about the summer, why i did what i did (purely sexual) etc. I guess she musta really liked me alot, cuz we went out for another 2+ years after that.
Hope this helps...
