Intercourse after Infidelity PDF Print E-mail

I found out that my long time boyfriend was seeing another female while being with me. This came as a surprise because I thought I made him happy and I was under the assumption I was keeping him satisfied. We've been dating for three years and we had a good intercourse life so I thought, that is until the truth came out. I decided to stay with him because he seemed truly sorry for what he did, but I can't get it out of my head that he deceived me and we only had intercourse once ever since. It wasn't enjoyable at all for me because all I could think of was him being with someone else. He has expressed that he wants things to go back to normal but I'm not sure that's possible because I can't bring myself to be intimate with him. 

 

I know this is going to become a problem if it's not addressed soon and I don't want to end our relationship over it. I feel so betrayed by him and I'm nervous he's going to cheat again if he's not getting it at home. At times I wish I didn't know about his affair at all. Maybe it's better to be clueless sometimes. When I look at him all I see is a man who cheated despite the fact that we've been together so long and all I want to do is cry. I don't know where our relationship is going and I'm hurt because although I love him something changed and I don't know if we can ever get it back. I don't believe him when he tells me he has to stay late at work or when he claims he's going to hang with his friend. I can't help thinking that he could still be involved with the other woman.

infidelityI'm driving myself crazy and I'm desperate for some advice from people who have dealt with a similar situation. Is it possible to forgive and forget? Will the images of him and the other woman eventually go away from my mind? I devoted three years to this man and I hope our relationship can be salvaged. If things don't work out for us and I end up leaving him, will the next guy cheat on me too?

If you can't trust someone, I would think it's better to leave them. Without trust, there can be no love-- at least not a healthy one. If you're insecure concerning his fidelity, maybe confronting him and talking about the problem, and I mean REALLY talking about it (don't mince words or beat around the bush), would help the most. If he loves you and wants the relationship to work, he should respect what you think and how you feel.

In my personal opinion, he has to regain your trust if he wants you to stay and for you to be happy. By whatever means, he should try and you should allow him that chance.

If you choose to leave him, don't second-guess every new man you meet. Let your trust and love build and don't let a failed relationship get in the way of your happiness. If you're worried about infidelity in that case as well, all I can say is look for signs that a person may be cheating, or at least learn to discern a good, honest man from a good, yet philandering man. Your experiences may help, but remember not to over-analyze a person's character.

Counseling helps also, if you're in need of more help. There' no shame in that; everyone needs help in some way.
