Trauma and Cheating - 04/19/10 07:38 PM
Hello all, I am looking for some advice as every site I have looked into seems to have vaugue answers to the ongoing questions that surround the subject of cheating..
To give the short version my girlfriend of seven years is from a town three hours from where we live which is my home town...In January her father suffered form a bad stoke and she has been traveling every other weekend to help care for him....Me with work and the care of our two year old have stayed behind alot and taken care of the house and everything else...two months ago she came home and said she went out one night while she was there and ended up sleeping with an ex-boyfriend....She told within 36 hours of it happening...I am blindsided and just plain pissed and feel like the support I was giving was worthless....I guess I am looking for advice on how to cope and my main question that I get run around in is....Can this really just be from emotional overload and too much booze....Can people really just kinda snap not know what is happening....she said she dosen't remember making the decsion that it was going to happen or every wanting the sex....He started it and that it was more like she didnt say no rather that be into it....Just some advice would be great...Thanks
