I told him things arnt gonna get better over night even though he wants it to. When are you supposed to get over some thing like this? Thanks in advance. Reply to this Question Share |

"The stupid forgive and forget
The naive neither forgive nor forget
And the wise forgive, but never forget"
Cheating is impulsive and for him to tell you says a lot, trust won't come easy, but don't make life and your relationship suffer because you can't get over, because he could've never told you!

You don't. Plain and simple.
This MIGHT be a different issue if you guys were together for, say, oh I dunno, 10+ years and there was something your partner felt was lacking. Even then, that doesn't ever justify cheating, but it might merit some leniancy depending on your personality and his 'reasonings' for it.
The first few months of a relationship are supposed to be the most carefree and fun. If he's been unfaithful that soon, then he's just not the type of guy to remain faithful, at least not now.
Although, I'm wondering, how long have you guys been together for?
Best of luck to ya,

You can only get over this when he starts proving to you that you can actually trust him again!!!! That he's not gonna do it again!!!
If he can't manage this, or you don't feel like you can ever trust him again, then there is no relationship. Might not be what you want to hear, but you have to take this into consideration...
