I cheated and feel horrible
Relationship Stress / by tryingToBeBetter65
Last post

...See more I got a new job and recently turned 18, I have a girlfriend who I've been dating for 2 years and 3 months. Things we're really good with each other for a long time, but then our relationship started to get really weak, we would fight every day for the most stupid reasons, and I even break up with her for a while but then I came back and we've been trying to work it out. The fact is that recently I cheated on her, and I can't look at myself due to what I've done, I also don't know what to do, I haven't told her, and I don't actually know if it's the right thing to do. I don't know if I want to keep the relationship and I also feel guilt about that, she loves me so much and I'm everything for her, she suffered a lot and she has been dealing with so many mental health issues due to childhood traumas. I feel like I'm a horrible person, I shouldn't have done what I did, I made a poor decision, I should've talked to her and addressed our issues but I didn't because I was afraid of communication, and I'm still am. I'm lost because I also don't know if our relationship is worth saving, I don't know if I want to stay, I don't know if i'll ever be happy again with that decision, I can't see myself without her. The situation gets even more complicated because I feel I'm emotionally attached to her in a really unhealthy way because. The relationship wasn't in its best moment, but we were fine, and then I did it, and I'm lost and don't know what to do.
