He cheated but I'm the one in the doghouse... Advice needed. Posted: 08-31-08 04:16am
So I guess I'll start at the beginning...
I've been with Dylan officially for four
months now {unofficially for over a year}
and everything has been as close to
perfect as possible. We never really had
big fights. We had our differences and
disagreed a bit but they never really
escalated into anything more than that. We
had that kind of relationship that only
happens in the movies.
Then three weeks ago we started fighting
almost constantly. I think a lot of it was
cause by a mutual friend, Dani. She would
start drama for the sake of drama. She
would come to me and talk all this crap
about Dylan and things he was supposedly
doing behind my back and then go to him
and say the same thing about me. Which
started many of our fights.
Then one of his best friends, John, came
to me and told me that Dylan had cheated
on me and that he felt that I deserved to
know. Dylan had told John about it and
said he felt bad and John told him that if
he didn't own up to it then he was going
to tell me and he did. That same day
Dylan's brother, Dusty, came over to tell
me that Dylan was with another girl at
their house as we were speaking and when I
went over there he didn't answer the door.
I called him later that night and he told
me that he never heard me knock even tho I
knock four times and stood there for
almost five minutes.
We talked about everything and I started
wanting to forgive him because I'm a
believer in second chances. But another
part of me was listening to Dani and John
and was still skeptical about staying with
him. On Friday night {the 22nd} Austin, a
guy who has a crush on me, picked me up to
take me to John's to chill with everybody
{we're all one big group of friends} Dani
and John kept saying that I should leave
Dylan for Austin because Austin could
treat me so much better than Dylan and I
ended up kissing him that night to see if
maybe someone else was really what I
wanted. I immediatly regretted it and told
him it wasn't what I wanted and that it
felt wrong. When I got home that night I
called Dylan and he asked me if I had
kissed Austin and I told him the truth and
explained everything and he broke up with
me. We decided to take a month long break
and then we would talk and see how we
felt. But I thought he was just trying not
to hurt me and I thought I had already
lost him for good.
Now I'm not one to handle things like that
very well and I stupidly decided to spend
all of Sat. afternoon drinking it all
away. Austin gave me a ride to John's
again that night and I continued to drink.
What you have to know about me is that
when I drink because I feel hurt and
rejected, I feel like I have to validate
myself. Which I apparently tried to do by
making out with Austin, giving him a lap
dance, and passing out on the same bed.
{No sex.} Between the booze and Dani and
John in my ear telling me that this was
what I should do, what I really wanted
went out the window.
When I woke up the next morning I wanted
nothing to do with Austin. I felt like
trash because I know I would have never
done what I did if I had been sober. Then
Dylan called me that day to tell me that
he really did love me and that I was the
one he wanted to end up with which made
everything thing I did that much worse.
The same people {Dani and John} that were
telling me that Austin was the way to go
ended up telling Dylan what happened on
Monday night. Dylan was furious. And part
of me thinks he has every right to be. But
the other part of me is furious with him
for being mad at all because I think he
did cheat on me in the first place {even
tho he swears he didn't} and I forgave him
for it. I told him that if he did, I
forgive him and if he didn't, then there
was nothing to worry about. And then he
broke up with me over one stupid kiss and
got mad at me for something I did when I
was "single" and drunk.
I want him back with all my heart. We're
still trying the month long break and
during that time we're supposed to be
bettering ourselves for the other person.
And right now I'm trying so hard. I know
it's only been a short time but in the
past week I'm quitting smoking because
Dylan hates it{I've gone from a pack and a
half a day to only two smokes this whole
week} and I've decided I'm never drinking
again unless it's just to have a good time
and Dylan is there. And I'm going to all
my classes everyday and I'm not sneaking
out at night. My dad has even said
something about how he noticed how hard
I'm trying to change.
I also have one more potentially huge
problem... I might be pregnant with
Dylan's baby. I'm not sure at all. My
periods are completely irregular so I have
no idea if I'm late or not. My boobs are
heavy, tender, and sore {especially my
nipples} and have been for a week or two
now. I have to pee constantly. {I've
gotten up twice just writing this.} I'm
tired all the time and I get nausea once
in a while. I know there are hundreds of
reasons I could be having these problems
but I'm a worrier. I know the first thing
I should do is take a test, I'm just
having a little trouble getting a hold of
one.
As of right now Dylan doesn't know that
I'm scared I might be pregnant. I'm not
going to say anything until I know for
sure because I don't want him to think I'm
just saying it to try and get him back.
And if it turns out that I am pregnant, I
want to make him decide whether or not he
wants to be with me before I tell him the
news because I don't want him to be with
me if it's just for the baby. That won't
make either of us happy. On top of that,
if I am pregnant, he's going to want me to
have an abortion. I am completely
pro-choice, it should not be the
governments decision what I do with my
body, but I don't know if I'd be able to
go thru with that decision myself.
Any advice on any of this would be greatly
appreciated. I'm sorry I wrote a novel up
there but you needed to know the whole
story in order for any of it to make any
sense. I don't know what to do... I'm
completely overwhelmed. Any help would be
great. Thanks.

he sounds dirty, but there are times when
its untrue. if both those boys who told
you dylan is cheating want you to go with
austin. it might just be that they told
you he was cheating to get with austin.
but its more likely he actually was
cheating on you.
you have a right to be mad at each other.
you should be mad at dylan for possibly
cheating on you, and have him prove it to
you otherwise...if he loves you he will
find a way to show you he wasnt. on the
other hand it doesent matter what kind of
excuse you have, you shouldent have ended
up in another mans bed...no matter what
happened. and even though you are taking a
1 month break you know it doesent mean
your single...it just means you are
keeping away from eachother to see how
much you really do need one another.
but if he was cheating with this girl with
you around, he is probably doing it more
when you arnt....so keep a look out. as
for the baby, make sure youve got this
cheating/love thing worked out before you
tell him. you dont want to raise a baby
with that.
if you really want to get over this and
get back together with him watch out, if
he did it once...he can do it again.
im not going to vote in your poll because
it doesent have the right answer from my
view. you need to asses the situation
between the two of you and see if you
really do want him back. if he did cheat
on you, do you want him back? find out if
you love him first...apologize for what
youve done, ask him to apologize for what
hes done, and if you can get him to admit
hes done it...why. and otherwise let him
come to you. dont work harder then him to
get the relationship back together, it
should be a dual effort.
