Some unresolved mommy issues perhaps? You, not OP. |
Not projecting. I've seen this thing play out many times. If they genders were reversed you'd be saying the same thing. This situation has bad news written all over it, the exact situation that in 10 years if OP posts about a sexless marriage, affair or divorce you, and the others shaming OP, will shame him again for ignoring the red flags. |
Yes, you are projecting. You have no way of knowing any of that would happen. MOST people date several people before they decide one is special enough to mary. Or are we women only supposed be with the one that we mary. Dude, it's 2020. Women like sex and have plenty of options. |
Counterpoint: she had a life before OP. OP is a whiny manbaby. |

If GF is telling the truth, then there's nothing wrong with what she did.
The problem is that her truth is not very believable. Some friend of a friend randomly sees her in a pic and comments that he slept with her a year ago. When confronted, the convenient facts are such that she slept with this guy exactly once, in the one week period after she had gone on a few dates with OP but hadn't yet slept with him And based on sleeping with this guy ONCE in that random one week period, she tells the guy she had a big crush on him BUT decided she wants to be with OP. The timing of all this is just too unbelievable. Let's say, worst case, OP's GF started sleeping with this guy right after she started dating OP and it lasted a couple months, plus a couple oops-ie encounters in months 3 and 4. Definitely into shady territory. If OP confronted the GF about it, the story she has told OP here is EXACTLY what a lying girlfriend would say to cover up this shady situation. Dating for a year is not enough time to know whether your GF is an untrustworthy liar. |
That sounds right. You might also want to talk to a therapist about this either alone or together. These things can come back. A therapist will take your money and talk about *your* problems. Here on DCUM, you pay in humiliation and we talk about our own problems. |
| The problem is that you very quickly jumped to “she cheated” vs waiting to figure out exactly what happened. That would raise a red flag for me if I were your gf. |
100% agree. She has middle aged Ashley Madison Ho written all over her. She is settling for the ring and kids and then will still go out behind your back looking for big D. |
| Please break up with her. You sound like a total misogynist and a loser. |
| This is a weird post. Is OP religious or something? They weren’t exclusive...if he holds this over her, she shouldn’t marry him. |

I cant believe you are focused on what she did or didn't in the first few weeks when you first met, before you were sleeping together and before you were exclusive, instead of the past year plus where you have spent all this time with her in an intimate relationship. DO you really trust your own inability to judge character this much? Has she given you any other reason to doubt her?
Either she is smart, kind, loving, hard working, compatible with you or she is not. Dating in your 30s is very much a weird thing--people come and go, ghost all the time, up and leave at any second. When I was dating inmy early 30s, I learned NEVER to assume that a guy I liked was into me until we had been seeing each other for a while and had the talk and until then I assumed they were dating half of DC. (And even then half the time it meant tonight). DH never asked me about my sex life before I met him or even during the time we were dating but not serious because it doesn't matter, what matters is that we chose to be together and once we did that and choce to be exclusive, wewere. |

I have a hard time believing her. Women are such good liars that, even when found out they will trickle truth you and greatly minimize the truth.
So you giys didn't have sex until 5th date while she let you believe she was single when you met and not seeing anyone while dating you? But she bangs this guy during that time? And it was just once? Hey, if you believe that then maybe you can go forward. I've been lied to by enough women that I'd never believe it. Why don't you ask that other guy? Say hey, I know you two were together for a while. Want to make sure that's completely over before I get serious with her. Then try to have a friendly conversation with him where you can find out more. Then go back to her for more trickle truth and MI izing |
Oh, look! Another incel posting from his mommy's basement. |
This, above, does seem like a plausible scenario. Quite plausible. It’s how life works. I like the other poster’s idea about getting some background from the other guy. |
No point in asking the other guy. OP doesn’t trust his girlfriend to tell the truth. The relationship is dead. He will always be wondering and looking for her to mess around. I definitely continued dating others before my husband and I spoke and decided to be exclusive. He was too. I was not going to assume he was committed to me until he said so, and therefore I was single and acted accordingly. If women are such great liars, how come statistically more guys cheat? And spare me all the reasons why men cheat. A cheater is a liar and there’s no gray area. Does this mean men are actually more prone to lying? |
