Boyfriend cheated on me a while ago...

He knew he was cheating. Seriously, that is the lamest excuse I think I have ever heard. Because if you are that high (or drunk), your life is in danger.

So he cheated on you and he compounded that with lying to you. Your choice whether you want to stay. As for your health issues, check into anything from your parents' insurance (since currently the ACA is still the law in the United States, if you are in America, you should still be covered under their policy. If not, then start asking your school, work, and charity) to talking with your doctor and asking for a sliding scale for payment.

Don't let fears of ill health keep you with someone who doesn't respect you.

18 year old guy - attention span of a puppy?

High and doesn't know what he's doing?

RUN!! He's not ready and you are putting WAY too much of yourself into this relationship.

On top of this you don't need a useless boyfriend. Even if you did not have those conditions, you don't need one. Break up with him.

A 16 year old cheated (my God!!!)... and now as an 18 year old he is fessing up? I think you people are being awfully harsh. People grow up a lot between the ages of 16 and 18.

If this guy is decent now, and you love him? I say why not forgive. The question is whether you trust him now... but remember, 16 is a kid 18 is an adult and the two of you are changing quite a bit. Have a heart to heart, but if he is apologizing and will say he won't do it again, he is probably telling the truth.

If you don't love him, than leave him. But I think I could overlook a two year old sin of a 16 year old if there was a relationship I care about.

It is impossible for him to have been 16. How is August 2016 two years ago? It is not even a year ago. He could have been 18 at the time he cheated, not that I think age 18 equates to adulthood/acting like an adult.

Hello I'm sorry you are dealing with so much at a young age ! However the main thing I read in this is you are most fearful that u will not find someone who will want you ! When we hold onto toxic people it's out of our fear not love of that person. The main goal when you are 18 is to remember in 5 years you won't recognize who u were now. The priority is to find your path in life who and what you want in life is a journey that only time and maturity will reveal. The honesty he showed is in his favor however he lacks maturity to make a good decision to not act on his base needs that's a red flag ! Plus in reality you have to put yourself first in health and happiness then the right person will be there I assure you ! Hope this helps feel free to holler if I can help further.

Are you transgender or in the process of transition? If no, then yes history proves men are pigs. If yes, I hope you enjoy conversing with yourself.

Just talk to him and if he justify it leave because it could happen again. People feel less stress the more they do something. It can be positive like working out. Or negative like cheating. If you do something once you are way more likely to do it again. It might not happen for along time but if you guys started having issues would you think to yourself is he cheating on me? If this is the case breakup with him, once you forgive him you can't bring it up at random times and say it upsets you or that is also going to rip you guys apart.

What ever mistakes were made in the post surely do not get in the way of an answer.

In my opinion we need to allow for mistakes at such a young age, so I would be inclined to ignore this except to make sure he knows that you expect that it will not happen again. Surely with your situation you understand the necessity of compassion, especially from those who love us.

I heard this from an old guy when I was 22, and now at 55 I can vouch for its truth:

"One of the most important relationship skills, as well as one of the hardest to master, is knowing what to ignore, and what to not ignore"(paraphrase).

Drop him, you are just too young for problems like this.
