Anyone else have experience with getting cheated on at the very beginning of a relationship?
I just got cheated on by my boyfriend of 2 weeks. Yes, weeks. 15 days. Yes, we were official as in we had the exclusive-boyfriend-girlfriend talk only for him to sleep with his female best friend 2 weeks after.
I broke up with him on the spot when he confessed but he keeps trying to reach out to talk and explain himself. Is this some kind of record? It’s insane to even think about. Does anyone else have a story as insane as this?
I’ve talked to a few friends who said that maybe there’s a chance for reconciliation because it was at the very beginning and it’s not like we were already in love so apparently that somehow makes it not as bad.
I don’t even know. Has anyone gone through this and actually moved past it to still see the relationship through?
I’m not saying I’m doing that, I think I just want to feel less horrible about myself and hear people’s experiences.

- Yes but if you let them away with it then they usually do it again . If he cheats this early then really he’s not the one for you . You can always find someone else who deserves you . It’s his loss not your
- I would say that people who cheat once, have the propensity to cheat again. Statistically quite significantly. Given the pain I have just experienced having found out about my ex-partners affair, I’m not sure I would willingly walk into a relationship with that level of risk. You’re lucky you found this out about them now before you became too attached. Remember when people cheat, it’s about an unmet need in them, not about you. Usually low self esteem.
- I think u should leave him and move on . He didn’t even last 15 days, you’re still in the early stages of the relationship so it won’t hurt u as much . U caught him early it’s a good thing u don’t want to invest time , love and energy in a relationship for him to cheat on u again.
- At the beginning you’re supposed to be working on building the foundation of your relationship. People are typically on their best behavior at the beginning, so this doesn’t paint a positive picture of what his character is. If this girl where to happen to move to where you are do you think he would hesitate to dump you for her?
