writes: Okay...I posted on her about my girlfriend way back in November... Here's the recap: She kissed another guy and treated me like dirt for two weeks and nearly put an end to our two year relationship. I could have forgiven it but the other guy never really went away. They have long phone conversations and text message each other constantly... I've told her that the only way I can be happy is if she cuts this guy off...but it's always the same thing: she says she told him to buzz off and a few days later they're back to being best buds...I've tried to break up with her several times in the last week because I don't feel like I can ever trust her again, but everytime she begs and cries and I take her back, so my question is two fold: Am I over reacting when they talk to each other? Should I leave her for good?

You always have the choice to leave, it may be the harder one at first, but in the end, if it is the right decision, it will be better in the end.
I dont think you should stay with her because you think it would be to hard/awkward to leave and deal wiht it. Any break up is hard really and although yours might be more complicated then normal, it still should happen if you arent happy in the relationship. If you do break up, it will get easier, and will learn to deal with seeing her and it will work out, it woudlnt say awkward forever. Just something to think about.

grandprix is verified as being by the original poster of the questionI appreciate the input guys and girls...the bad thing about it is she pretty much lives with me and we have classes at the university together...so not seeing her (even if she moves out)is not really an option. I do love her with all of my heart, I would of left in November if I didn't...it's a very sticky situation..

To leave or not depends on how deep is your love for her.
It could be she is enjoying his flirting and attentions which she did not get from you.Would you mind if your g/f flirts with others? If flirting with other guys makes her happy , will you allow it? How would you feel if you flirt with other girls? Will it be wrong if you flirt with other girls?
Some men just close an eye to their WAG's (wife and g/f)flirting with others as they consider it harmless .As long as they don't cross the line.

You arent overreacting. I think its shocking that she could cheat on you AND still be friends with this guy. I am really sorry that happened to you.
What I think may be happening here, is that your gf senses/knows you wont stick to your word and that you will keep giving her second chances and basically let her do what shes doing- be friends wiht this guy. She will keep on being friends wiht him until she realises that you honestly wont put up with that. So, if you do love your gf and want to try to make it work, you need ot make it clear, perhaps even break upwith her. Then maybe, she will see what a mistake she made and will ask you back. However, in all honestly, I dont think its a good idea to stay with someone who cheats on you, neverless who wants to continue being just friends with them when they know how much it hurts you.
I know its hard to break up with someone, especially when they start to cry and stuff which can make you feel guilty. I know you dont want to hurt your gf and you think breaking up wiht your gf will do this, but what about YOU?!?! You are important and your feelings matter and she isnt really considering how you feel when she continues to be best buddies with the guy she cheated on you with. Put yourself first. Before you go to see her next, have it set in your mind that you are going to break up with her, come up with a plan of action if she starts to cry and so on.
Once you do break up, I suggest having no contact with her for a while, as you may be tempted to get back with her.
Hope this has helped :)

Be strong and walk away now before it is too late and there are kids on the scene and she is still keeping in touch with him. Get rid.
take care

My take on this is that if you ever plan on having a serious relationship with her it could be difficult.
If things ever got serious enough where you end up marrying her you must consider how much a king size bed will be because it will get a little cramped in a full or queen size bed if he is still hanging around.
I think you get my drift. Doc

You arn't over reacting. You should tell her if that doesn't stop your going to leave. Ask her who's more important, this other guy or you. And if it still doesn't stop, or she says the other guy, break up with her!
