She cheated on me but I still want her.

Today while talking to her at break period in school, she told me she cheated on me. And that she had sex with her ex - boyfriend. I told her that I don't tolerate cheating in relationships and I yelled at her and whatnot and she just stood there looking at me. And then I broke up with her.

The thing is, i'm stuck now guys. I still love her. And I still want her. But her cheating on me just makes things harder. And I honestly don't know what to do. It all happened today and I just don't know. What should I do?

well, if shes gonna cheat again, stay away. but if shes not, u could go back in. but since u cant tell, it all depends on trust. ask if she wants back together. or just stay away. its all up to u and trust.good luck.

Thing is that she broke my trust. So I don't know if she would do it again or not.
i see. hang out with her some. dont "go out" with her, just be friends. trust takes a while to build but is so easy to break.
I don't get it.
He means keep her as a friend and see if you will begin to trust her again. It will take a lot of time to get over it, but if you do build up trust again then you could start all over with her in a relationship.
That's a good idea. Maybe I should just give it some time.
I would leave the ball in her court. If you make any attempt to make up with her, that sends the message that you need her more than she needs you. Then she knows she can do anything she wants and you will take her back.

If you stay away from her, she will either try to patch things up and hopefully change or she will not try and you will know for sure that she doesn't even care enough to try to make it work.

What you need to find out is whether this was a one time thing or a pattern you can expect in the future.

What if... I already started talking to her? And asked her why and told her I still love her?
You can love someone and be unwilling to put up with their crap at the same time. Good parents do it every day. :-)

It's very difficult to go through something like this and ever get back to the way it used to be. Trust is one of the primary ingredients to a good relationship and when you lose it, it's very difficult to completely recover. Rejection can sometimes create the, "but I love her..." reaction but the question will always become, can I trust her not to put me through that pain again? That's the challenge you face.

you should give a one chance to her or your love and then you should say to her that you the only girl that you loved her soo much in your life .you should feel her that you she is the only made for you no matter what happens in the past but dont cheat in future unless you heart would break .so you must give chance and say to her dont worry I am here. love is the only one that has no limit of love.

Lately, I have had many opportunities to remind myself that the decisions I make when I'm really hurting are usually the worst ones... especially the ones where I'm trying to cling to something or resist change. I make much better and clearer decisions when I step back, let the sting lessen a bit, revisit my values, then look at the issue again.

Unless someone's life is in danger or you're meeting an IRS deadline, there is always time to step back to gain perspective. I recommend you do that... for several days if not a week or more. Tell her you need some time to think. If she can't give you that, the situation isn't worth deliberating anyway.

I'm sorry for your pain.
