My relationship was great for the first year and a half, it was fun, loving, intimate, honest.. we were in love. then I started to feel like our connection was broken, like he didn't feel the same anymore. I felt neglected, lonely. But I kept on as always; tried my best to make & keep him happy. the more time went on, the more I started to feel unwanted, unattractive. He would even sometimes reject my advances. But no matter what, I couldn't get him to talk to me seriously about anything. So I tried to break up with him but he wouldn't give up. I didn't mean to cheat on him, I never had that intention, but the more I tried, the less he showed any affection, I couldn't understand why he wouldn't leave. I felt trapped, lonely. unwanted. One night I got drunk & then it happened but I cant remember how exactly, I just had way too much to drink & I blacked out but I remember feeling the best I felt in awhile, wanted. he found out & I couldn't bring myself to let him stay so I tried to make him leave because I was so ashamed of myself, I couldn't believe what I'd done, I felt disgusting. he still wanted me, he still loved me, he wanted to forgive me. I dk, I just let us move on together.. I knew I had to right the wrong Id done, I wanted to but I knew I couldn't erase anything. Id told him I love him too much to let him stay with me after what Id done to him, to us. he said he forgave me. so I believed him, I worked so hard to fix it & make it great again, omg Id done everything for him, I had to, the guilt & shame was overflowing. I thought id had the most loving, caring, forgiving man, I thought he was the best. id even asked him if he really did forgive me, if he felt like he wanted/needed revenge or if he already gotten it but he always said no & he would never. 3 years after my fucked up drunk night, we'd been together for 4 years now. during as heated argument, he'd told me the truth. he HAD gotten revenge after I cheated, & his facebook inbox confirmed it(it was what had started the argument) he told me the truth & it was going on fm then until now. Can someone please tell me what you think of this because I just cant.

@lostandhopeless,
It's a little hard to follow your post. I'm going to try, okay?

4 years ago, you were feeling down, like your relationship wasn't what it had been. You blacked out and, apparently, slept with someone else. You felt good about it afterwards (although you evidently had little memory of it occurring) and came clean with your boyfriend. He seemed to have forgiven you.

Some time within that 4 year period he got revenge although you haven't said what that was. There's something incriminating in his Facebook inbox.

And now you're upset because he said he was over it but years ago (last week? Hard to tell from your post) he did something (sleep with someone else? Set fire to the other guy's kitchen? Help a girl out here, I can't figure out what you mean). And you're upset about the lie.

Honey, if that's all you're upset about, count your lucky stars that this is all it was. It's over, it's done and it's gone, yes? It happened and, yeah, it wasn't nice that he wasn't wholly truthful with you but you might want to let this one go.

And maybe see about counseling. Talking to an objective, unbiased professional will help.

@lostandhopeless,
You were in a stalemate and felt un-loved, un-wanted but I don't think that the defence of that is to give the other person even more , to try to feel wanted. Seems you couldn't talk to him at all yet you say there was honesty, but obviously no communication.

You asked him to leave but he refused however, you feel that he just didn't take you seriously..

So you slept with someone one night and felt needed. You are relating intimacy with being needed. Having sex is not being needed, it's sex. Intimacy is different it's togetherness.

In reality, the way I see this is that you proclaimed then to love him which doesn't make sense because you felt so un-loved but the moment you thought you truly would lose him, you proclaimed love and then went even the more extra mile to make him happy. Someone who doesn't love a person and cheats doesn't react that way.

In my opinion you have self esteem issues and therefore can't handle perhaps even the slightest neglect. You can't be a yoyo, oh I have attention now I am in love, I have no attention I am no longer in love.

He's kept you going since then for sometime, in-fact 3 years. Ask yourself. What has been different over those 3 years "apart from you doing even more for him than you did (figures are wrong, 4 years together, 1.5 years of fun, 3 years ago you cheated) so anyway than say the first year?

If I was to guess, I'd say you've just been together. You've worked to do anything and everything for him and felt something better and therefore, again called it love.

You cheated once.

He has been having an affair for 3 years and tagging you along with it, in it. Sleeping with both.

That's not a mistake, yours may have been a mistake, you state you are ashamed / was, felt guilty. His was straight out intentional which means he has no respect for you, yet has strung you along for 3 years.

What do I think? Time to get help to find out who you are, what you deserve in life, respect yourself, love yourself. And, time to let this one go and go it alone for a good 12 months whilst you work on you so you can have the life you are wanting. The one of love and peace and happiness. And, leave your one night stand in the past in the closet.
