writes:Me and my girlfriend have been dating for a year now and at about the half way point we hit a snag a "took a break" We are young but really in love and I think she may be the one for me. But back to the "break" see when we took this 2 week break I made a horrible mistake and slept with another women. It meant nothing and it was a one night stand.Since we were on a break it wasn't cheating but it really bothers my girlfriend which it should. I just think it is slowly destroying our relationship I mean she constantly brings it up and is still upset about why I would do another girl. I've apologized a million times, but I can't seem to make it up to her. We just don't know what we can do to help her get over this. Are there any suggestions? And please no rude answers I'm aware I messed up I don't need to hear it from people on here too.

Let me start by saying at least you recognize you made a mistake ..that's great..now being a woman an have delt with same issue the only advise that I can give is be an open book from now on if she's feeling doubt full an insecure help her see she has no reason to doubt you an if you have to hand over your phone etc..do it..also talk to her an let her know if you Guys are back together then she needs to let it go..you'll never be. Able to have a trustworthy relationship an eventually it will way on the. Relationship ..hope that doesn't happen good luck ..

 The thing is you didn't mess up as much as you think. You are right in that it wasn't cheating and you shouldn't have to apologize although it is good that you did. Try explaining it to her in a different way such as: yes during your break you slept with someone else and what you realized is that you don't want to be with anyone else. Sometimes you have to actually experience something different to appreciate what you have so I hope she listens to that.
