My gf cheated on me when I was about to propose to her
I (25M) caught my gf (24F) in bed with another guy. Last week I came early from work to surprise her with a custom ring I made myself that I have been working on for 4 months.
Spent 2 months making a smartphone app just for us that includes all our memories together, all our pictures, our favorite songs, our favorite quotes, all our drawings, etc.
Spent 2 full weeks on a drawing that I made of us together, and it was the first drawing that I actually liked how it looks.
I told her friends and my friends that I am proposing to her today and told them to keep it a secret, and everyone, including me, were excited.
These stuff are just what I did for the proposal. When we started living together, I changed the room the painting in the room to her favorite color, lights that change on voice command, and some other stuff. I did all that just to make her happy.
These stuff are stuff you can see. I gave her all my attention, all my time, all my efforts, bought her so many gifts, always stayed with her whenever she needed me.
More than once I left work because she needed me in emergency. More than once I stopped at the side of the road because she has important stuff to tell me.
When I’m not around and sleeping somewhere outside the house, I would leave my phone unmuted in case she needed me.
These are just few things I done for her. I never asked anything in return, and she really never done anything for me anyways, and I was okay with it. All I wanted was her to stay loyal.
So yea, I came home with the ring in my hand and all the surprises ready to show her, but saw her with another guy on our bed.
I will skip all the stuff I did and just say I kicked them both outside. She said “he is better than you anyways. He understands me and I am happier with him”.
That was last week. I barely ate anything this entire week and couldn’t sleep for 2 days. Her friends stop talking to her and I am happy that I have people around me, but I still cry over her every day since it happened.
I gave her the world and all I wanted from her is to stay with me. I don’t understand what I did wrong. I feel a little better now, but it still hurts me so much. I am planning to sell the house and look to live somewhere else so I can forget her.
