[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I did write that I was there for her. I left work and we spent the entire day and night on Thursday together. We cried, I comforted, and we did speak. We did discuss some stuff but not everything. I told her I loved her and that this didn't change that. Then we both worked Friday. She was suppose to go to her sisters and I out for a friends birthday. 
I went out and had too much to drink, which I normally drink every 1-2 months.

[b]I'm every close with my sister. We lost our parents when I was a teen and she practically raised me. I didn't have permission but she is the one I go to. I didn't tell anyone but her.[/b]

Now, I love my girlfriend. We have gone through death, surgeries, and illness during our time together. We have worked through everything. I will support her to the end and she knows it. We have come out stronger. She is a beautiful person that I feel so lucky to have in my life. I am not ready to give it up. This was intended as a " what to do" situation. This is more of how do I get her back? [/quote]

It's still really uncool that you didn't ask your girlfriend first if it was okay to share with your sister. Some things in a relationship are private to the relationship, and it's a betrayal of your partner to share the information outside of the relationship. Depending on how your girlfriend feels about this news and your sister, this might have been one of them.[/quote]

I disagree.  I know where you are coming from.  But if he's overwhelmed with the news, sharing it with his sister, who "basically raised him,"  is natural.  He needs a healthy outlet.  Much healthier than getting stupid drunk.[/quote]

I'm not saying that sharing with his sister isn't a healthy outlet, I'm saying he should have asked his girlfriend if she was okay with him sharing, or at least let her know. It's her private information, she has a right to know how far it's being spread. If she wasn't comfortable with him telling his sister, perhaps there's another friend she would be more comfortable with, or perhaps he could have a few sessions with a counselor to talk through his feelings. She has a right to privacy, which OP violated.[/quote]
