When they stray, send them on their way....

At least you still have your computer ;)

Seriously though, I am sorry to hear that. I know it will be very hard for you, but you need to break up with her IMHO. How can you trust her? Everytime she goes out with friends or is away from you, there will be the thoughts and doubts in your mind if she is being faithful to you. For your sake it's time you broke up with her. If you don't mind me asking, what was she doing with this "cheating" Kissing the guy, or a lot more.....?

Be glad you found out now. You might have been married and then you found out.:(

Trust is THE most important thing in a relationship.

Yep time to move on. Don't go back or fall for the 'cying im so sorry' bit. If you really want to make her feel bad do IT once more and break up after her right then. Or if you hate her too much just call her up and end it. Old saying "Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on me." There are other fish in the sea dont go crazy over her. It hurts for awhile but you'll bounce back. Good Luck! :)

Okay hon', you aren't allowed to give the woman a bad reputation like that. We hardly know anything about you. Who's to say that you aren't some jealous bf?

Seriously though, how could you say you know she's cheating on you, yet you keep questioning her up until "tonight"? :confused: First off, she's not married to you, so she owes you nothing--unless she made an explicit vow to you. Secondly, it seems to me that you're set on your way and determined to have her say what you want to hear whilst being too worried if it is really true (i.e., hoping that it isn't true but believing that it's true). It seems paradoxical to me. Basically, if you cannot trust someone anymore, then it's time to break up. Whether or not she's cheating on you is irrelevant at this point, as you have exhibited distrust and jealousy anyway. So, please for the sake of God and yourself, free Magnum357 from the bondage of having a gf. And by the way, I won't be surprised if you hardly spent time with her or even noticed or complimented her.

P.S.: It sounds as though you have not investigated this matter, so you're just using your instinct or "feelings". If you need someone to investigate the truth of this matter, you can hire a private detective. [Hint:] I swear you have one right in front of you.

I think it's time to end it. Trust is a very important part of any relationship. In addition to that, she's lied to you, telling you that she hasn't been cheating.

My advice would be to sit her down, tell her why you're leaving her, and then leave.

Make sure, though, that she is in fact, cheating on you. Make sure it's not a trust issue on your part.

I know you all meant well for this guy, but I been in his shoes, and its easier said then done, to leave someone who you trusted and cared for a year and a half. I think about my ex sometimes and I can't imagine her having sex with someone else, and that hurts. But there are plenty of fish in the sea.

luvly- I have no idea were you got all of that insight into this poor guys post.

My girlfriend of almost a year and a half has been cheating on me. I knew for a while, but she told me she wasn't, I believed her. She did again tonight. I want to scream and cry so loud. I don't know what to do. this is going to be a long night, hey well atleast I have all the anandtech people, I think that makes things worse I'm posting.

It sounds to me like he knew that she was cheating, then she lied to him, and instead of stop, she has kept on doing it. He obviously cares for the relationship enough that he doesn't want to immediately just break up with her even when she's sh*tting on him.

If you already know that your significant other is cheating, how much investigation is needed? What should he do, get pictures?

As for her reputation, he didn't post her name in the thread, so I don't see how her reputation is ruined. Even if he did, since she's cheating, she deserves it. Why feel sorry for her?

Magnum357- Dude, do not reward her with your continued presence by staying with her. I'd dump her *ss cold and when people ask why, tell them the truth. That way, no one you know gets used by her.

If she views the relationship as amounting to so little as being able to cheat on you, then she should have just broke up with you. Instead, she used you. She doesn't deserve anything from you, especially respect.
