Question - (31 March 2007) 2 Answers - (Newest, 31 March 2007)
A female United Kingdom age 41-50, anonymous writes:

My boyfriend of six months and I broke up. He cheated on me. But i still care about him!!! I can't seem to let him go. He said we could still be friends but it was up to me and I said yes. He's going through a REALLY hectic, stressful time in his life and I feel really bad to just leave him. He said I'm all he's got. But on the other hand, I am worried because during our relationship I really was there for him 100% and i ended up taking his stresses to heart. Now that we are still friends, I do care about him and I do want to be there with him, but he still cheated on me! I don't know what to do! I don't know if and where to draw the line?

heya i read your problem and its pretty difficult to be in your shoes i mean lets not forget he did cheat but dont let him force you by making you feel guilty everyone has problems (not just him)but if you feel you can forgive him for what hes done and hes earned back your trust with that much commitment its not something to through away over a fling (that is in the past)so focus on the future but if yo can let go of the past maybe it is time to just move on go and find someone new itll take time but eventually will come! reading your question i take it you want to give him another chance so go on but in a realtionship it wont work if only half of you is in it and the other half keeps looking back and bringing up the past thats not how should be best of luck let me know how it goes (sorry or the LONG answer!) xxx

As you are only friends now it wouldn't matter whether he went out with some other girl or not. Be there for him as a friend and support him. Just make sure that you don't get into a relationship with him again but seeing as he agreed to just be mates with you you shouldn't have anything to worry about.

P.S. If you don't want to friends with him though then tell him. After all he can't force you to have a friendship with him. He did betray you at the end of the day.
