I really need some advice here. I broke up with my ex about a year ago. We have kept in contact tho and even sometimes still had sex. We both agreed that we would stay friends and see what happened in the future. I even told her i didnt have anymore "spark" towards her but wanted to stay friends and see what happened. She started being friends with this guy at work and she went over his house swimming. She said they were strictly friends but when she went to leave he made a move on her and they started making out. She just went along with it. They then started to have sex but after a minute or so she said she stopped him and said she couldnt do it and it was a big mistake. She left his house and hasnt spoken to him since. That was about a month ago. We now just got back together but i feel upset about it kinda like she went behind my back. Because me and here were still "talking" as friends and sometimes having sex when they happend with the guy at work. We were not together tho. Am i being stupid or what?

The only thing we agreed on was that if i met another girl ok, or if she met another guy while we were friends with benfits ok. Or if we maybe got back together in the future ok. At that time we just were friends with benefits.

LLindy87 agony auntno you still don't have a right, I mean, you didn't have a relationship you were friends with benefits. which means you aren't exclusive. I'm not disregarding that you are hurt but you must get past this and realize the reality of your situation at the time.

UNLESS you both agreed that you were 'on a break' and only sleeping with each other. But if you never had that talk, I'd forget and forgive.

Sorry you can't be upset with her for "going behind your back." You were friends, you told her you felt no spark towards her. So there was no committment to be exclusive and in fact, there was no real relationship there except friends with benefits. And after telling her that you felt no spark with her, you're asking for too much if you still wanted her to hang all over you after that.

Since you know about this incident, it's not like she's hiding this from you. She's not the one who initiated it, and in fact, she stopped herself from going through with it.

So maybe you're bothered by it, you're entitled to your feelings, but it's not her fault and you can't be upset with her or blame her.

LLindy87 agony auntyes you are being stupid or what. You were broken up therefore during that time you gave her the right to do what she wanted and gave up your right to get upset at whatever she does with other guys.

Don't hang on to the past, focus on the here and now and your future with her.
