My girlfriend cheated on me but i want to stay with her...I think
PART ONE: BACKGROUND INFORMATION
I am astudent at a university in Alaska planning to enroll at the University of Washington within a year or so. My girlfriend of two years who is just a little younger than I, is also a student at the same school. We met long before our relationship started, and had always been really close friends. We talked constantly and connected incredibly well (undeniably felt by both of us, several times it felt so strong we began to talk alot about a relationship and how well we work together). I had wanted to get involved with her during the time that we talked often, but I stopped trying for a time and she started seeing a guy. When she broke up with him to supposedly "date me", I had already become involved with another girl while I was waiting for her.
Naturally, we fell distant for a short few months while i focused on this girl, but the relationship with the girl i met failed due to psychological issues on both our parts (I fell into a short but deep depression and our personalities began to clash so often that we decided it was time to call it off) and we went our separate ways.
Within a couple of months subsequent to the break-up, I was noticeably much better mentally, physically, and socially from increased excersize, seeing various therapists and psychiatrists. I started talking to who would later become my present girlfriend, (the one who cheated), again and right off the bat, I started feeling really strongly for her. I tried not to jump into a relationship because it was still so soon after my recent break-up, but i couldnt stop the course of events that followed and we quickly got involved.
Her home life was bad and her parents treated her badly, not physically, but verbally, and usually led her to believe that she was always wrong, and that she didn't have much support there. So I came into contact with this when we got together and it became alot of the basis of the strength of our relationship because my parents had always raised me openly and with alot of support so I kept the same attitude towards her and we kept a really gritty sense of trust and truth, no matter what it pertained to, it was always very real and loving.
For the first month, It was as I had expected, she was amazing to me and I was making a lot of money where I was working so i was taking her out every night and we didn't leave eachother's side, but not only did it look good and feel good physically, we talked so often and on so many subjects we agreed on, not for the sake of agreement, but really agreed because our lives are in many ways very similar. But then i became slightly self-doubtful and sad, which didn't help becasue she is a very outgoing girl and when i became sad, I got jealous and I didnt want to take out the jealousy and sadness on her and her lifestyle becasue I respected her. So I called for a break and she sadly agreed because she understood my situation.
PART TWO: THE STORY
Litterally within the few hours between me breaking it off, and when I decided that my mental problem was naive and stupid and It wouldn't last and we got back together; she had already "cheated" on me. --Now, I am careful to call this cheating, becasue we were broken up, but it was so soon after that it seemed to me the same disregard for my feelings and obvious ability to cast off even only a month, but a really passionate month, put it in that category. It was with a much older guy, but the cheating was only a kiss and he had tried to go further and she had stopped him, so i fed off that, believing that there was a scrap of remorse in her actions, still staying with her after i learned of it later that day.
Fast forward, almost two years later, the relationship is as strong as ever, almost everyone I know had hit on my girlfriend because she is very attractive (not bragging, sometimes i wonder how i got her). But she had turned them down steadfast. Of course the normal tension came up every once in a while, but overall it was very complete and trusting, and I had quickly regained my trust becasue of the trusting climate plus, I was with her almost every day and when i wasn't, we live in a pretty small city, so if something was happening behind my back, I'd probably find out.
During christmas break, she went with her family on vacation to Mazatlan, Mexico to stay at a hotel on the beach and relax. Shortly after getting there, she met up with another family that they knew from where we live who happened to be there. The son of the family, who is a couple years older than I and has always been a lady killer, befriended my girlfriend because they knew eachother, but then my girlfriends usually anal and angry parents who wouldnt let me keep her out past 11 when she lived with them at the end of highschool, began trying to get her out on the town with him, especially her mom who didn't like that her trophy daughter was with an average dude like me. He took her to the bars and the first time they went, they kissed in a hottub afterward. She told me this before christmas and acted sad, effectively ruining my christmas and making me out of my mind with jealousy at the worst time. After we both got home from our respective trips, i picked her up and something seemed different, she was overly affectionate, very sexually aroused, and seemed very happy, i half expected it to be her trip and the relaxation, but it hit me, no one just kisses the guy that she said she "kissed". I knew it before she had let on one bit. Like second nature. Uncanny.
So I guessed at it, and she just crumbled. Crying and screaming, but I was older and wiser and I didn't fall for it at first, but then I got every nasty unbearable detail out of her, and after all I heard, if there was more, then a mexican camera team or something crazy must have jumped in because what she told me was very, very explicit and I think is the entire truth.
What happened is that she did only kiss him the first night in the hottub and she turned him down from more, but then they went out one more time and nothing happened, but the third time, which i forgot up until this point, but is salt in the wound, it was her birthday, and she went out with him, danced with him and from waht she told me, at the point that she was sloshed and dancing, it all came together and she followed him to his room. I wont go further here except to say that the events taht followed happened in many different places in the room and for a while, which means taht she had millions of chances from the day he kissed her in the hottub until the second he walked her home on her birthday night after everything happened to stop this from happening. which means only one point I'm sure of: she wanted him badly and didnt stop herself, instead catering to him and making it easier for him to get what he wanted from her.
Now, its been a month, I go from hating her and breaking up with her, to letting her back when shes at my door crying and loving her. I dont know what to do, I think I love her still, but I'm so confused, I dont know what I like anymore, I feel horribly indecisive due to loss of self-confidence, and I dont know whether she does love me and it was a mistake, or if she is inherantly much more devious and untrustworthy than i could expect. I dont want to turn into the bitter hater of humanity, because I do love people and especially women in general which i know arent all or even for the most part comprised of women like this. What Should I Do? Any Help?
