He admitted everything. I found the condoms in his car, and we dont use them. He texts me everyday with 3 page texts saying how much he loves me and he is sorry and blah blah. Even my friends and family feel the love we have. We can be in a room full of people and only pay attention to ourselfs. I cry everyday and just dont know what to do. Please help. Thanks.

does he have any sort of relationship with her? does he feel regretful? do you really truly think he won't do it again, do you think you can trust him? i think you should talk to him about it exclusively, you should talk to him about it a lot, exhaust the topic, try to make him explain exactly WHY he felt he had to do it. and if at the end, you feel like he truly made a big mistake, if you can trust him again and if your relationship can rebuild after something like that, then i say try it again. if you can look past it and past your insecurities, i would be inspired by your strength! i hope it all works out for you! but yeah, really talk to him about it, understand what happened and try to forgive him only if he's really sorry. make sure you weigh out all the pros and cons too. don't throw away an amazing loving relationship just because he made a mistake.

He was smoking and that was it, which does not impair your judgement like alcohol so I do not believe that, and the other thing is in his last relationship his ex was going around on him so he cheated on her to get revenge. Is that considered cheating in as what he did to me? thanksss. [:

However make it clear that you wont put up with that crap anymore. And I would be cautious at first. Protect your feelings because nothing hurts worse than betrayal.

It's a lot easier to tell yourself you'd leave someone if they ever cheated on you but when you're actually going through that, it's a lot harder. You have to weigh the pros and the cons. like the before poster said, it depends on the circumstances, did your boyfriend cheat repeatedly, as in had some kind of relationship with the person or was it a one night stand and he was drunk? Not saying that either is better or less/more serious, but mistakes do happen. If you really love him and believe he loves you and you guys can continue to trust each other and really believe he won't do it again, then I'd say forgive him and try again.
