If this was truly a SECOND chance, I'd agree with your move, but my impression that is at least #3, could be #5 or #6. Second chance for cheating, perhaps, but this wasn't the first time she's totally been an asshole to you.

Good luck to you either way, though! I hope it works out.

It's always easy for someone on the 'outside' with no emotional stake in the matter to determine what you should or should not do.... but the reality is you have to make that choice yourself. That said, my experience has been that once someone has shown that they are capable of breaching that trust, that person should not be trusted (in that same way) again. As such, taking her back appears to be a big mistake, and there will likely be a post a year from now about her next 'endeavor'.

:beer: Good luck with the road you took. Regardless of what everyone says, if you feel that it's the right thing, that's great.

<<<She adamantly confessed that she made out with Rene (Pecho) twice and nothing else happened.>>>

What you meant by "she made out"? Did she have intercourse with that guy?

I think it means hot passionate kissing and usage of hands. But I do find it weird that if she only made out with the guy, that she needs to be tested for STDs.

My father made a lot of pretty fvcked up choices in his life...

One of his most meaningful phrases I'm left with is, take it as you will:

"You can spend a lot of time trying to be RIGHT, or you can choose to be happy, in the end it's usually a choice between those two."

Much can be made of this depending on your perspective, and mindful of that fact, it's that perspective which ultimately, I think, charts our course.

Well, at least you didn't pull a Syringer. Seeing people post SPIDER!! in his threads is annoying enough without people starting to post PECHO!!! in yours.

She'll probably cut him some slack for taking her back, so I'd say within the next couple months.

This is your life and you need to do what works best for you.Don't make intimate choices based on votes from strangers on the web, many of whom haven't even been on a date much less in any sort of relationship.

Have any of you guys cheated before ? If you have, did you want to get back with the girl and you felt genuinely sorry ? If you want to spend the rest of your life with the girl, wouldn't you yourself believe you would never do it again ?

What about those of us in long-term relationships who still think he's making a huge mistake? Sometimes it takes input from others for people to step back far enough to do the right thing (although Red's apparently not going to listen to us).

^ he doesn't have to listen to us... advice is meant to be taken into consideration, not taken to action.

....and the overwhelming sentiment was that he should end things permanently. Which was my point.

"We" don't know him or her in real time life.Don't you think he'd have been better off seeking advice privately in real time from people who actually know him and might be concerned about his best interests instead of posting on the web and hearing from frustrated pimple farmers who can only suggest that he screw her sister in revenge?

Probably, but he did ask (*cough*becausehelikestheattention*cough*) and there are a few of us on the boards who have actual real-life experience with actual real-life women over the age of 14.

Yeah but the vast majority are idiots who couldn't score at the bunny ranch if they had fistfuls of 100 dollar bills.
