It really hurts that I opened up about something so personal and got attacked for it. I was unfairly insulted. Yes, I cheated in my relationship, but I was in love. And I still am. And I also respect and love my girlfriend in my own way. That’s why I let the other woman go. Yes, I loved her too, but I chose the one I’m with now.
Don’t I have the right to be understood? To receive some sympathy?
I don’t want to put more pressure on my family. My girlfriend is my future wife, future mother of my child. And I don’t want to hurt her — that’s why I let the other woman go, for the sake of our future.
But that other woman still can’t let me go, and I’m scared she might do something that could ruin my relationship. My girlfriend doesn’t know what happened, she suspects, but I hide it carefully.
I wish people would help me with advice on how to make the other woman stop expecting anything from me and finally let me go. Yes, things were good with her, but I made my choice.
I wanted to end things with her in a gentle, respectful way, but she doesn’t understand that. She thinks I’m a jerk who used her, but I do love her. I just don’t want to change anything, because I love my girlfriend too.
I hoped we could break up as friends, but she doesn’t want to be friends, and now I have no idea what to expect from her…
