Hello TeamLiquid, the title really says it all.
I've been dating this girl for 1 year and 10 months, and through it all it seemed like there was this great connection, we weren't perfect, but we learned and progressed and got better with each other, and we supported each other through the hardships of going to one of the world's top design schools.
Over the summer she confessed to me that she was really curious about what it was like to be with other guys, sexually. We had a long talk, I told her that I understood her feelings, this was each of our first time really, really dating someone, and she felt that she hadn't experienced enough in life. I told her that I could understand her desire for exploration, but that I didn't think I could handle having her sleep with another man. She wished for me to go out there and sleep with other people too, but I really didn't feel compelled to, not to mention the fact that it would be immensely harder for me to casually fuck someone in my location.
She told me that she valued our relationship and that if I didnt want her to that she would not sleep with other men in Korea.
I told her that I wasn't comfortable with it, she said okay, and I felt that we had been together long enough that I could place my trust in her, she was living alone in Korea at the time, and I truly, fully believed that she would respect my trust, respect my wishes, and at the very least tell me if she couldn't handle it.
Fast forward to the beginning of school, we were reunited after three months apart, and I couldn't have been happier. As the days progressed she seemed more and more closed off, and then yesterday she tells me that she wants to take a break.
I was a little put off, but she explained that she wanted to spend more time being social, and focusing on her work, and I understood that and agreed that it would be for the best. I reluctantly went back to my apartment in relative disbelief.
Later that night I decided that I would man the fuck up and talk to her about this, in depth, because in my eyes this was something worth saving. I'm not afraid of compromise and if she truly wanted to separate over the year after this talk I would let go.
As the conversation went on about how she wanted to work on herself, she mentioned she was a bad person. I challenged that, I had never seen anything that would lead me to believe that she was a bad person, but in the pit of my stomach I knew it. I knew what she had done. I asked her how many and who.
She told me that she slept with three guys. Her friend's friend. A drunk one night stand. Her tango teacher.
I was... hurt to say the least. Hurt that someone who I trusted, who I thought loved and respected seemed to think so little of me.
I'm still hurt. I don't know what to do. We're going on a break for one month, but I don't know if I can forgive this kind of breach of trust. This was one of the best things I had had going for me, and over a day it crumbles around me, and I can't decide if I should forgive her or not. Can I trust her? Should I trust her? Will she ever be satisfied in a committed relationship, I just don't know.
I'm not the type to sleep around or drink, but I'm going to go talk to my old roommate whos adept at both and see what he has to say. I dunno. I think I deserve better than someone who I have to imagine must think so little of me.
Right now I'm fighting off the urge to tell her mother (who believes shes a virgin) everything. But I think thats just bitter. Maybe cruel. But I don't know.
Any advice?

You don't want the real answer, but here it is:
Your relationship was over before you even had that "talk" during the summer. What she was really trying to do was to get you to end the relationship, so she could be removed of any perceived consequences for sleeping with the guy(s) that she wanted to (and, likely, had already started).
It's over; it's done. Grieve the loss (there's a big time & energy investment on your part) and move on. But otherwise remove her from your life. You aren't "there for her" when she comes crying to you later. It's just the nature of dealing with these issues.

I appreciate the honesty, whether or not if thats exactly how I have to imagine that was the core of the matter.

She's not worth keeping.
Seriously.
Unless you subscribe to the idea of non-monogamous relationships (which you explicitly told her you don't), then sleeping with another person is pretty much the single worst breach of trust in life. She did it three times, all carelessly.
To put it bluntly, she's a selfish, immature bitch and you deserve better.
Move on. Tell her that you deserve better than her and shove her out the door. Tell her to take your little "break" and shove it. The point is, you do in fact deserve better and she deserves nothing more than to get chewed out by you. You really should have dropped her as soon as she expressed interest in sleeping with other guys. That is an immediate sign that she is going to at some point and that she is not as mature as you are (at least when it comes to the relationship). The fact that she lied to you and did it anyway means she deserves some harsh words. There's no way in hell that I would ever trust someone who said anything like that, let alone after she slept with three other guys. If you give her another chance, a person like that will do it again.
People can sleep around and be sexually adventurous all they want and it's 100% OK, but it's not OK to do it while in a monogamous relationship. Hell, there are even very, very rare occasions where relationships can be fixed after someone cheats. This is obviously not one of those cases.
Don't go to her mom though, that's just petty.

I didn't real the whole thing, I admit but cheating = end of relationship. Period. Even if you're one of those guys who are able to forgive such thing and you will be back together it will break sooner or later, things never gets better after one of partners cheated.
|
I agree the "talk" was her trying to end the relationship, to be guilt free. "She wished for me to go out there and sleep with other people too".
People have needs regardless of morality, you didn't fulfill a specific need therefore she found a solution. Having said that people who cheat more than once, will cheat again. It's in their blood you don't know exactly what they experienced when they were younger. "3" guys man. THREE
You say you understand how she feels to be with other men, OK. Say that, but do not forgive, do not trust and find a better woman. I know this is cliched to the max but there are so many fish in the sea, this is the truth, if one woman won't satisfy your needs. You simply go find another.
You can tell her mother if she asks you why you aren't together anymore, nothing wrong with that. But don't tell her for the reasons you're feeling now; betrayal, disgust, sadness, etc. Because once you become an adult you have the right and privacy for your own personal life. Think about it. Do you want your mother to know every single time you had sex?
|
Some people have a need for more sensation and experiences than others. Although a monogamous relationship might be ideal for you, that's not always the case for others. She needs disinhibition and won't be satisfied in a committed relationship so you should just let her go.
|
First of all, you need to break up with cheaters immediatly.
I found out that i find cheating so disgusting that the cheater immediatly becomes unattractive as a person.
Since you were seperated recently, the breakup shouldnt be too hard on you since you arent used to each other too much.
And then, dont let girls put you on hold by "taking a break".
You must realize that this in 90% of all cases means your relationship failed and she wants to keep you available until she found someone "better".
So, break up and find a less disgusting person.
Who the fuck sleeps with their dancing teacher when in a relationship, its like one of those fake reality tv detective shows.

Don't tell the mother; it's not your business and won't do you any good.
She's not a bitch, but she's certainly immature and didn't know how or couldn't face up to her need to break up with you.
She acted selfishly to cheat on you, but that's not the real issue with your relationship. The real problem is that the two of you are not romantically compatible. You're looking for different things. It's over and you'll find someone else that will make you happy.

The thing is that over the year and ten months we spent a gargantuan amount of time together. Right now I'm calling up a bunch of my friends, and I'm going to spend this evening getting advice and, for the first time in like three years, drinking.

Damn dude that sucks. Sorry to hear that that happened.
My advice is to cut her out of your life completely. She didnt respect your trust in an intimate relationship, so how is she going to respect your trust and wishes as a friend? You sound like you have a good head on your shoulders and are passionate and loyal. You will definitely find someone whom you can trust and love.
Good luck man. And stay strong. You aren't alone.

Sorry that happened to you OP, it's crap really.
Talking about what you feel for each other: regardless whether she will do it again in the future or not, whether you can trust her again, and whether you forgive her, I think this is the key:

Thinking about it in a more "practical" way: I think you must realize you both want different, incompatible things. You want A and she wants ¬A. Imho it's impossible to carry on in a relationship under fundamental differences in a critical topic like this.
My humble advice: Let it go. Don't seek vegeance or do anything harmful to her. Even if you feel she deserves it, it will hurt you more, and you and only you is all you must care about now.

Thanks, I appreciate it. I'm trying to stay strong, and I know that I have to keep some degree of composure due to school, but this whole ordeal is made so much harder by the fact that girls at my school (RISD) are just... of a different breed than I believe myself compatible with.
I have to admit I am worried about spending the year in relative loneliness, but maybe thats just whats best.
EDIT: Oh, and I'm not going to seek out vengeance, its too easy and I want to be able to think better of myself.
|
sorry to hear but my best advice is to move on, cut her out. its going to be unbelievable difficult for you but she already did it 3 times, what if you get back together and down the road and decides she wants something different or that she wants to "explore" again and confesses to more cheating? thats another ride on the emotional roller coaster, gl

I'm Sorry man, i know how it hurts.
Well at least she was honest at the end, you can give her that, but you should definitely end the relationship, like not even talk to her anymore.
If it was just one man, and she was drunk or something, MAYBE, just MAYBE the relationship could continue. But with 3 people? willingly? probably more than one time? Definitely NO.
I'm sure you are aware that when a long relationship happens (even if its temporary, as it was in your case) it is way more likely for this thing to happen. So, if she is going to korea again sometime in the future, sadly, you can almost be sure that this will happen again.
You will have to move on. Just remember the good times and don't remember her with anger. Know that at the end, she knew it was wrong, and decided to end the relationship, you can be sure she didn't do that to hurt you. She was selfish, yes, but she doesn't think "so little" of you.
You will find someone else, you seem like a good-hearted man and you will find a women who respects and love that, and the best advice i can give you is to try and do things you couldn't do before with her, enjoy being alone, and use the time you used in her, to do something good for you, a hobby, learn an instrument, study more, go to parties etc. This is giving you the chance to learn new things. Just keep on.

I think I deserve better than someone who I have to imagine must think so little of me.
During the initial stages of a failed relationship, this is usually the first immediate thought. It is also a complete lie. Very few relationships fail because of one participant. When one side takes a decision that breaks the trust, it is spurred by the apathy/obtuseness of the other. As much as you might feel insulted by the insinuation, there's a high chance she felt emotionally neglected and that your mutual trust was weak as a result.
Simply put, your former girlfriend didn't find your relationship fulfilling enough. Considering she hadn't been with other men beforehand, this isn't surprising. If she didn't have to the opportunities to be sexually adventurous and find out what kind of people she connects with on a sexual and emotional level, she would naturally end up in unfulfilling relationships during the early period of her life. Finger-pointing and slut-shaming won't change this fact; neither will ascribing all the blame to her. You must take responsibility for certain things as well. Both sides screw up in early relationships. That's the way things are.

Think about how you feel right now
Think about who has made you feel that way
Think about why they made you feel that way
Think about why you give a shit about this person

I'm more upset at the lying aspect. I understand that she has needs, we were separated for three months over summer vacation, I was tried my very best to be understanding, I know she has needs, I know that she wants experience, but what burns is being lied to about it. During our relationship we were often challenged to be fully open with each other, me especially, she has admitted to not being sure how to handle the emotions of others, but through the relationship we grew and improved at these things.
We talked every night, I really tried to be as available to her as my schedule would allow, and I know she tried to stay faithful to the relationship but I just wish she would have, at the very, very least, told me as soon as these things happened.

There's a lot of advices or filosofy to throw around but I'm just gonna agree with the majority in this thread saying that you need delete her at least from your everyday life and move on. I would recommend giving it a couple of months and then reading CosmicSpiral's comment again.

That sucks  Being lied to and cheated on is awful x.x
There's really no way to ever trust her again, so I agree with everyone else who's saying that you'll eventually need to move on from her, and remove her from your life. The worst thing you can do is get back together with her, and I'd say the most important piece of advice I could give you is to tell you that not every girl is as selfish as she was. She didn't respect you; you'll eventually find someone who will

Cosmicspiral has gotten some things right and some things wrong imo.
All of the causes for cheating are more than likely correct, your past relationship with her did not fulfill her in the same way it did for you. Her bringing up that she wants to explore with other men should have immediately alerted you to this, as that means her physical urges are overpowering her mental or emotional attachment to you, or the mental and emotional attachment have grown so weak as they are not even comparable anymore.
However notable is that it occurred during a prolonged period of physical absence, many relationships don't survive long-distance and the physical aspect is just not something you can neglect in a relationship. A real relationship is emotional, intellectual, physical, all of these combined.
Without trying to intrude on your personal life, if you didn't do something with her to release your physical urges and maintain your physical attachment while you guys were apart this should not come as a surprise as you neglected a part of your relationship in that case.
What you can blame her for is cowardice, cheating on someone is selfish, because the person is attempting to get the satisfaction of maintaining a longterm/safe relationship, while simultaneously getting the thrill of new experiences. Most people do not have the emotional flexibility or detachment to maintain this ruse, thus when you confronted her she broke down and confessed, because the guilt was picking away at her. So she's a bad person for being a coward and not breaking up with you before having sex with other men, but at least she's not so emotionally absent as that she could maintain lying to your face in the aftermath.
Advice:
Don't involve her mother, that just reflects badly on yourself.
Do not stay in contact with her for the immediate year, later once your emotional wounds have sealed you can get in contact again if you are still interested, but an emotional break of trust is sometimes irreparable damage.
Do not enter another relationship immediately, as it most likely will not be stable. If you wish to go drink and have fun with other girls, do that, or retreat into video games, just do whatever keeps you busy and keeps you happy.
Hang out with your friends, they're the most valuable thing you can get in life
|
Please just turn and run. As far as I can tell, she's toxic and if you let yourself get caught up in somebody like that, you're fucked.
Not like a lovey-dovey hahah we're so cute together way and can't imagine being apart way, either. We're talking twelve beers at noon and you can't remember why anymore.
Don't make excuses for her, she knew exactly what she was doing the entire time.

The girlfriend just didn't want to be exclusive anymore. Sometimes that's actually not the guy's fault. (Or vice-versa.) And furthermore, if there was a real issue with the relationship, the girlfriend should have talked with him about what they could work on as a couple. But it just seems like the girl wanted to explore new people, rather than explore new things with the same person. And that's her own decision, but then she should have been mature and honest enough to either break up with him to pursue her own interests, or bite the bullet and stay exclusive with him. She lied and cheated, and you can't (even partially) blame him for her behavior.

Hey man, that just straight up sucks. I can't think of many things more difficult or painful than that. Can only imagine how hard that is to deal with. I'm praying those deep wounds will heal quickly.
Long term advice, after you've let things settle a little, forgive her if you can. I don't mean trust her - she's lost that completely, probably for good - but try to move on completely and that means letting go of the bitterness. Not easy, I know, but if you keep carrying on those dark feelings inside of you, you'll be the one that suffers. She hurt you, badly, but don't let her continue to do so, even by being the object of your bitterness.
Stay strong man.
|
Why would you go to her mom... just walk away and never see her again... it's the best thing you can do.
|
People like that aren't worth your time. Find someone worth being with, this girl is not it. People worth being with don't cheat, and they especially don't cheat three times.
|
Honestly as far as cheaters go, she is not the worst kind.
But if there is any one reason needed for you to convince yourself to run away from her, it is just that she is not ready to get settled down while you are completely ready.
It wouldn't have worked even if you two did not have this issue because she wouldn't be satisfied.
|
This is what I think: its immensely difficult to stay faithful in your first relationship, especially if long distance is at play. Everyone feels the temptation to experience more, and its easy to make excuses, especially when there is opportunity. Don't be too hard on yourself, its not necessarily about her not respecting you or you not being good enough, its just that one is never enough. However I do not believe you should stay together with her. The bitterness will remain and take a long time to heal. She also did it more than once which suggests that she has no problem with cheating, if you forgave her it would just happen again. The only way you could stay with her is to be open about polygamy and you both being able to accept it, but I doubt most people could tolerate a relationship like that. So just break up with her, use it as fuel to improve yourself and find someone better.
|
Right now I think I'm mostly hoping that she'll figure herself out. Shes not a bad person, which is part of what makes this hard (the other part is knowing that shes a very rare brand of tolerable-human-being at my school), I see in her the potential to be in a monogamous relationship but I don't think I can consider it fair to myself to be with someone who I couldn't place my full faith in.
Anyways, I'm not going to avoid her, but I'm not going to seek her out, and I'd rather try and act civil in this, she made a mistake and while it hurts, I don't necessarily think shes the worst person.
Also, as far as going out and drinking is concerned, I seriously have the hardest time trying to develop a taste for beer.
I appreciate all of the advice, I got a lot of good feedback from people who know her, and from you guys which really helped me get a better grip on the situation, I'm going to talk to her again in a week and tell her that I hope she manages to work herself out over junior year but that I don't think I can ever place romantic-levels of trust in her again.

I think you should move on tbh. She didn't respect your wishes at all and you weren't asking much either. The better question is, if she did it now after all that time between you two, what would stop her from doing it again in the future? I think you should just thank her for the good relationship (prior to this breach) and just forget about it. Get busy with friends and other activities to take your mind off her and you'll slowly forget her. You'll only hurt yourself if you continue with her and I doubt you'll trust her much after this. Relationships are built on trust and once the foundation is gone, it all crumbles so avoid it before it happens. Best of luck and let us know how it goes!
|
I feel for you...
No need to tell her mother anything, it's petty and childish, and won't make you a better person.
Guess you both were too different, take yourself some time and then eventually find someone who's more like you.
If you feel like letting some bitterness out consider that most likely she'll get someone more like her, and that's pretty enough.
It should be clear enough that I think that you should not even contact her anymore, you can't trust someone who cheated you more than once knowing that it would have hurt you.
Btw I find pretty tasteless for her to tell you that she cheated on you thrice, as if a single mention wasn't enough...

this isnt advice but i was so curious i had to ask, mainly because i assume you met her in the US but she lives in korea now
what background are you guys? if its too personal you dont have to answer

Also, have to say, respect man for how you're dealing with this. You're a class act.
|
She wanted to end the relation without hurt you at first,maybe cuz u was her first love idk,but u wanted to keep the relation,i honestly dont believe she had sex with 3 guys in the summer,but she told u so this way maybe u will let her leave this time.
|
Just live and let live, and learn to forgive. Move on from that girl and that's all there is. It's not like you have a child to care about. Just a girl.

I don't drink because I can't stand the smell. Don't worry about not getting a "taste" for alcohol. It serves the wallet well.
But I bolded the one part you need to correct yourself on. A "mistake" is losing your car keys. Sleeping with other men is *anything* but a "mistake". It was an utterly willful choice on her part. The self-defensive instinct wants you to think of it as she made a "mistake", but don't accept that. She wanted to sleep with other men and it was her choice.
It's why I said to grieve the loss and move on. There's a definite loss to you, as you were invested in the relationship, but she chose this result. Now it's time for you to choose your next destination in life.
As for her mother, if you interacted with her a bunch of times, I would thank the mother for your interactions, and simply wish her well. Be honest, but don't be cruel. I personally would have little problem directly telling her that the relationship ended because her daughter cheated, but I also wouldn't suggest just throwing it out there.
Best wishes.

We go to the same art school, Rhode Island School of Design, we're both Juniors in Illustration, shes from Korea, but shes lived in the US for a fair while, and I'm just from the US. We're both back in the US for school now though.

I dont know... I am no relationship expert but I doubt she slept with all the men she says she did. She probably just wanted to break up with you from the beginning and she needed an excuse for it. She probably said she cheated on you with X number of people so that there is not chance of you going back to her. (sorry English is not my first language ) Plus you will not accomplish anything by telling her mother and i bet she would not care if she did either.
|
I did trust again in a person who did cheat on me, here is my plain answer, carry on, forget her because she probably did forgot about you already.
|
You should just use this as an opportunity to completely dictate her life for the next 3 years, at which time, if your life isn't stable in terms of money (at least 10,000$ in the bank) you're fucked

Right on.
This was her awful way of saying she wanted the relationship to be over, but she did that thing where she didn't want to just break up with you, so she tried to paint herself bad so you would break up with her. Not enough time to talk about this phenomenon, but there you go. Anyway, she gave you plenty of reason to either break up or begin prepping for the inevitable end, and like a man who likes a girl too much and is too deep in it (again, another phenomenon), you lied to yourself and said it was probably "good" that she was communicating these feelings at all, and you didn't take a hint.
I see this ALL THE FUCKING TIME. I've done it, my friends have done it, all across the world this keeps happening.
It's all good though, as long as you've learned your lesson. Not being cynical here. The point of dating isn't just for comfort or naughtiness; it's for personal growth and problem solving, hopefully weeding out all this nonsense so you can have a wonderful relationship in the future when it counts.

If she loved you, she probably wouldn't have told you about it. I could forgive somebody easily for something like this, but they'd have to prove they were serious about having a quality relationship. Monogamy isn't a value I hold in high regard, I think to a certain extent you have to understand that humans are animals that never or rarely live up to the lofty morals we impose on each other. Not to say that we shouldn't aspire to, but with that in mind don't let things like this shatter your confidence in life or people altogether. It's not your fault or anything, she made her own choice and you can't control that.

Is she actually Korean? I can tell you from first hand experience they are always curious about white guys.
In Korea its kind of looked down on and she probably feels some type of pressure one way or another.
Anyways it happens, even to me...fucking girls man I tell ya.
Once you find a new person you can click with it will be easy to move on but the stage your at now does suck.
Hang in there bro.
