In terms of your story, I think what you did was cheating and plain wrong, I would not be so forgiving in your BF's place. I mean if you really loved him, out of spite, how could you have sex with another guy? That to me, shows a lack of love. Bullshit. Sex is not love, and love is not sex. They broke up, she did another guy two days later, the ex comes back and says he wants to work it out but gets ticked off because she sought comfort in a physical form with someone else. It wasn't cheating, and he needs to get over it. However, this couple has a much bigger problem than whether or not she "cheated." If the family is interfering so much with the relationship, it's for one of two reasons: A) the family is a bunch of meddlesome control freaks, or B) this couple has demonstrated a distinct lack of maturity, and the "meddling" is an attempt at damage control so the child might have some semblance of normalcy in his life. I'm betting on B. ok well that might be bullshit to you, but to me and Im sure for some other out there it is not...while love does not equal sex, they are intertwined sometimes, and this seems to be the case. I dont know if you read my whole post, but I stated that if it had been a "no-strings attached" type of setting, then there are no worries. I wonder if you would state the same thing if it had been the guy cheating. In any case, I mentioned that in passing, my point was that the main focus needs to be the baby. Okay, but how long after he says it's over is she supposed to wait? 2 days, 2 weeks, 2 months, 2 years? He walked out on her, he left, he nixed the relationship, he said it's over. She just took him at his word. He let it be known that he didn't want to be there anymore, therefore, she did not cheat. Doesn't matter if the exact senerio were reversed. The only time it would put a different slant on it was if the person doing the walking out the door went off to bed with someone else, then tried to get back with the person they walked out on. Then I'd be questioning their reasons for walking and it just being the fact they wanted to sleep with someone else, so they could say it's not cheating, however, she didn't walk, he did..that's not cheating. He has no right to expect her to wait for him when he's said it's over. From what is said, she wasn't rubbing his face in it either, as someone else stated. She was informing him what has transpired since he decided to walk out the door, nothing more. I see it as better now than at a later date, since he wants to reconcile. ____________________________________ To the OP, is this a recurrent theme? Does he walk out only to return a few days later? Then I might have a problem with you're seeking 'whatever' in someone elses arms. If this is the case, then you don't know how to argue, which is not by walking out on each other only to return a few days later after 'cooling off'. For me, if you're walking out that door and saying it's over, you better make damn sure that's what you want to do, because the minute you do, I'm single and I will not sit around and wait for you to return, no matter what I choose to do, bed someone or not. The other person has given up that right to decide, or pass judgement on what it is I am doing, or with who. The chances of that door opening back up is highly unlikely, it's not a revolvling door and I've no desire to repeat the same thing next month, or next year, when he's decided to walk out again. The only concern is that the unmentionables needs are being met. ~Big bignipples2share, I hate to re-bring this point up, could be my Taurus stubborness, I dont know. But I still see something wrong with this picture. From a strictly cold scientific point of view it makes sense. However, there is a commitment when you are in love, which has to do with loyalty. You can arugue that loyalty is broken once he "broke it off" with her, but if you are really in love you dont wait two days and screw around....simply because emotionally you are still attached to that person (if you are in love truly). Hence to me, that is cheating.... anyways, dont want to get out of focus, the focus here is that baby, everything needs to be for the baby.
