Question is, was her feelings for this guy what caused problems in the relationship in the first place.

Sad, but true. Dont worry about trying to work things out, when there are so many other people out there. There is NO need to compromise.

yeah. i can understand everyone saying "they were broken up.. she had every right" which is completely legit.. but like, i dont know.. like, if the dude didnt sleep with anyone else.. then it might be more personal. if my girlfriend and i broke up or took a break, then got back together and i found out she had slept with someone i would be very hurt.. and we've only been together for about a year and a half.. ya know. like. its more of the fact that she would do that. like, when you find a wallet on the ground with no ID, and you give it to the police department because you think that someone might come and pick it up.. you have the option of keeping it. you dont really know where the person lives.. you just know that you found a wallet.. no strings attached really. but like, lets say that a week later, you lose your wallet, with no ID in it.. and you go to the 5-0 to see if anyone brought it in.. and nobody did.. you'd feel kinda hurt... like, "geeze.. i brought someone else's money in when i could have just as easily taken it... how come people dont do that for me?" meh, i dont know.. i just think that sucks that the chick did that.. because like, who knows what might have happened.. in any event, the dude is probably luckier.. from what i've found, sex is the root of most problems in relationships.

LOL, sadly, that's the first thing that came to my mind too.

Heh, Ross and Rachel, and the forever, "We were on a break," arguement. :)

I know, I'm so embarrassed about quoting Friends :eek:

1. I can't believe, like, I read that sh!t
2. The girl is the lucky one
3. What problems does sex cause?

My friend was with his GF for over 3 years. They mutually decided to break off the relationship. I don't know if it was a "lets take some time apart" break or a "it's over" kind of break.

Anyway, they were apart for 3 months and then they got back together 3 weeks ago.

About 1 week ago, she told him that while they were apart she slept with another guy. He has decided that he can't deal with that and their relationship is over as of today.

She obviously isn't in the wrong here (although it looks bad on her to sleep with a guy less than 3 months after ending a 3 year relationship). I think she should have told him about this before they got back together so the relationship didn't get worked up again.

I can understand why he is upset. I wouldn't get back with my GF if I knew she slept with another guy.

i would agree... she should have told him first before getting back. Its not fair to the guy.. good for him to break it off.. otehrwise he needs to go equalize it quick and then get back.

heh. but if he did it it'd be fine.
methinks he's jealous he didn't get any action on "the break".

and she'll do fine without him. hopefully, he'll just let her go.

i love how her honesty is rewarded with a breakup. maybe next time she shouldn't tell him anything. this relationship obviously isn't going to work out.

i'd reiterate the friends reference, but i think it's been said many times.

I agree, sounds like he thought they were still together but she didn't, and now he's jealous

the point isnt having taken a break, its this

he wants a girl whos loyal, forever. Someone who loves him unconditionally, and cant stand being with or around any other guys. He wants a girl who has him on her mind all day. after a 3 year relationship, this should be achieved if it was the girl for him, but she slept with someone else, and that proves she doesnt love him enough for them to even bother continuing a relationship. Some people believe in deeper love than what others do, I suppose.

Your friend is whacko. Let me explain. It is not as bad as it could have been. This happened to a friend of mine as well. 'Cept she got PREGNANT. They are back together. She gave the baby for adoption. They are going to be married this year.

good luck with that pursuit. :laugh:

i mean what girl "can't stand being around other guys"? just as what guy couldn't stand to be around other girls? and i don't mean having sex.
i have never heard of such a thing. you aren't be realistic.

Wow, what a horrible girl...she actually had the audacity to date when she was single???? She should be hung.

In all seriousness, there is no specific time that must be allowed to get over a break up. Its different with everyone. I know a girl who wouldn't date for like a year when she broke up with her boyfriend. I know people who date within weeks. Its all about how well one can cope with the breakup, etc.

You and your friend need to get over it. Yeah, it probably doesn't feel great, but the fact remains that she was free to do as she pleased.

may be, but I spose I am a bit unrealistic. I need relationship counseling as it is, so who am I to say anything
