Sooo,February I have a drunk one night stand with Mark. We didn’t think anything of it.
Over the months, talk here and there. I stop in his work from time to time for my work. We hint for another night.
May 2nd. He said, we should have drinks sometime? I agree.
May 11, texts me 11 pm to go to his place. I know booty call. I say no, it’s late…tomorrow? He agrees.
May 12, best night of my life. Omg. Like everything was perfect. The mood, talking and music. He tell me sweet nothings, holds me, touches me like nothing I’ve known. This made me think what if? I say good night, but he wants me to spend the night, I dont. He wants to see me again. I’m on cloud nine for a couple of days.
Today: he’s leaving. I found out his girlfriend is in town. She used to work with him but left for a bit. I had no idea.
I was sad he was leaving but finding that out, wtf I’m mad?! Why would he do that with me, making me feel special, ya know?
He basically cheated on her with me.
My friend said they are staying at her place Saturday and I live a minute away. Do I let it slide? It’s not right!TallspicyThis man is not exactly wooing you. Your bad for sleeping with someone who is just a hookup and then being surprised. Just stop talking to him, even ok to say, I found out you have a girlfriend and I do not want to be a third party in thathe. But you contacting her is for you, not for her, so stop lying to yourself.
And next time you see someone twice in 4 months, he is not making you feel special, you are a booth call. Get higher standards
LenaSo you didn’t know he has a gf?
LauraI think a major major obvious fact is being lost here…he’s got a girlfriend…
You brought this upon yourself…at this point graciously leave HIS relationship with her as quickly as possible…he’s shown you TWICE now he’s a cheater…He cheats on her…He “cheats” on you…
Ugh is all I can think…
LisaaaHonestly, what is the reason behind you telling her that her bf is a cheat.. if it was simply to make her aware of her cheater bf and you truly did it for just that reason then I think that gf deserves to know.
BUT if this is some way of them to break up, and thinking you have a chance.. NO NO NO.
You don’t want this guy. Neither should his current GF. I don’t think he deserves anybody, cheating is selfish and no girl should have to experience that. I feel terrible for his GF.TeresaI had no idea he had a girlfriend. If I did, I wouldn’t have stayed that night with him.
The fact that he lied to both of us. I’m all for hooking up but not when he is in a relationship! That night was all about me and him and planning for more time together.
If I was the gf, I would be furious.
I would think if he loved her, he wouldn’t have been with me.
I just don’t want to seem like that girl that hooks up with taken guys. Or side chick.
I feel bad for the gf, I would want to know he’s a liar, cheating douche. Plus all those times we talked over the months, he flirt. He had to be with her at some point.
I don’t want him. I can’t imagine a guy who would treat me that way that night, sweet, nice, loving and mean none of it. Then turn around and do that to his girl who he is supposed to be faithful too!PhillygirlI would walk away and block/ignore him.
Do you really think the GF will listen to or believe the girl he cheated with?
SugarSpiritGet your dignity and power back – walk away while you still can, with it intact.
The messenger always gets shot, not matter how good your intentions are.
redcurleysueI will be honest with you here…women have gut and know something is up…she knows or suspects already.
Just drop everything…never see this man as a date or friend again.
JoeTell the girlfriend! She deserves to know he’s a cheating low life. Redcurleysue thinks she knows or suspects, but he may have the wool pulled over her eyes.
Tell her. Don’t have anything to do with the cheater again..CandyWhat is your question ?
TeresaThey’re leaving. So I won’t see them. I don’t plan on having any contact with him.
Should I tell her?
Should I talk to him?
Do nothing, let it go?He probably thought, no one will find out. They don’t know.
But for me, I just can’t shake it.intuitionyou clearly want to,
do it and report back, for science
LekishaHe didn’t betray you. You had 2 one night stands with him. You knew exactly that those were a booty call. And now you wanna tell that to her GF? C’mon, it is not your business. Just stop contact with him, that’s all you need to do.
Joe1) Should I tell her? YES
2) Should I talk to him? NO
3) Do nothing, let it go? TELL HERWhat does “They’re leaving” mean? Who are they and where are they going? What does “So I won’t see them” mean? You won’t see who? “They don’t know” Who are these people?
Glad you’re not going to contact the cheater! No good could come of it.JenniferThe amount of people suggesting the OP somehow brought this on herself? Booty call or not, the guy was cheating whilst doing it. Whether or not she held off, he’d have pursued it by the sounds of it.
I’m always very much a ‘people’s relationship is their own business’ person. It could be open, since there’s distance, it could be they were on a break and have rekindled etc. But, if she has no idea, then she would probably want to know.
It’s a tough one. I’d consider sending her a message over fb or something. Just explaining what happened and when it happened. Say you’re not sure of their relationship but knew I’d it was the other way around you’d be glad someone told you.
NewbieI think we should realize not everybody is looking for a relationship. And i’m strongly with Jennifer: i have no responsibility for other peoples relationships, only my own. I’m not the cheat police.
But the things he did don’t sound that special to me, more of a sex plus night.
If you don’t know the guy and girl that well, i would leave it and not tell her. He will get caught anyway..T from NYI love this forum, but sometimes I’m so blown away by the consensus advice. If you are doing it for the right reasons (and not to get attention or try to get him away from her)I would absolutely tell the girl. Anonymously, however you can do that. Give her details such as dates and times so she has good information without knowing your name etc. Never talk to the guy again without question. Do not engage in drama afterwards.
But really – I cant believe any woman on here is telling you to let it go. We should always “do unto others” and I would want to know and we should look out for one another.
kayeT from NY- There is a huge difference between letting someone know their boyfriend is a cheater and showing up at her friend’s place on Saturday night to confront them!! If she does that she is going to look like a crazy person and the girlfriend is not likely to believe a word she says!
And just how on earth do you propose that she anonymously let her know? Have her friend deliver a note to the girl with the details? Why would the girl believe that either? When I started dating my guy there was a guy at the gym telling me things about him trying to get me to stop seeing him. It caused some problems with us early on and guess what? I find out later he was lying about my guy because he wanted us to break up so HE could go out with me! We ended up changing gyms over all the drama that was going on. People don’t always have the most pure motives. Why would she believe some anonymous note she gets?
Personally I would stay out of it, but then I wouldn’t be in the situation because I don’t have drunken one night stands. And I don’t just hook up with guys I’m not in a relationship when they want a booty call.
PhillygirlMany people actually do not want to hear their significant other is cheating. More often than not, they shoot the messenger.
I think the OP needs to delete this loser and worry about her own life. But I agree that if we women stopped running around with married or attached men we could end most of this nonsense. That would be a much better way of supporting one another.
I know the OP didn’t know, but that is why you ask up front if someone is seeing anyone else. Yes, they can lie, but at least you take ownership at the beginning by asking and trying to keep it honest.
We don’t control others. Only ourselves. If someone shows they are a lying cheater, kick him to the curb and leave him there.
But all this endless energy after the fact is ridiculous.
ShannonYou need to do whatever you need to do to feel right about this situation and be able to look back at your response to his behavior with pride and dignity. Quick story…dated a douchebag some years ago. Ghosted on me, kept reappearing and ghosting again…I’m a slow learner. Then he got involved with another woman who lived closer to him (they’re both in the Bronx NY, I’m way out in the northern suburbs) but he still would pop up. He once asked me if we could have a no strings attached relationship and I said no, because I don’t believe in cheating. Long story short, he married her…and was still hitting me up trying to get sex out of me! It really irked me that this slimeball got away with this behavior. SO I hit her up on Facebook and sent her a nice message…Hey, I’m Kevin’s ex girlfriend, he’s been in touch with me and says it’s fine with you for us to be friends, but I want to hear it’s okay directly from you because I don’t want to cause problems in your marriage.” That’s all I said…I didn’t tell her he’d invited me down to “see” their apartment on a weekend she would be away in Florida attending her sister’s bridal shower. She blocked me, but I feel good about what I did. That was “a head’s up, girlfriend,” instead of something to hurt her. Obviously she didn’t believe me or believed whatever cockamamie story he cooked up blaming it all on me…so, you have to be aware, that she’s probably going to believe him over you, think you’re just some crazy psycho who is madly in love with him, etc. Would you be okay with that? See,I feel I did the right thing because everyone deserves to be with a loyal partner and I think women should look out for each other. But be aware, the girlfriend/wife is never appreciative. So you need to think hard about what you will get out of this and if it is worth it to you.
PhillygirlShannon, I think in your case you did the right thing for the right reason. But as you said, almost never is this revelation welcomed or appreciated by the recipient (the spouse or GF being cheated on).
If it were me I’d want to know, so I could be done with a cheater. But we all know very well how many women will still cling to a cheating liar.
So yes, the OP should do what she needs to do to clear her conscience, and then be fully done with it and move on. Just know you may be inviting all kinds of drama into your life by engaging with her.
ollieDon’t tell her. If he calls, tell him you are not interested in being a side piece. You didn’t do anything wrong here. Keep it that way. Just cut him off and move on. A couple of great nights of sex mean nothing in the grand scheme of things. Find someone who is not a cheater.
FreyaOk, so here’s my situation… I met what seemed to be an amazing guy on fb. He was from another state but he worked for an airline so he could fly whenever wherever he wanted. He possessed so many of the qualities I had hoped to find. He approached me and we started getting to know each other through messenger than on the phone. We would talk for hours, he was so charming and sweet. Almost too sweet. He came out to see me after a few weeks and we had what I thought was an intense connection. He did things while he was here that made me think it was real. Basically he stayed for 3 days and went home all the while texted me on his way home and even first thing in the morning the next day and poof.. gone haven’t heard from him in 2 weeks. I tried reaching out and now noticed he deleted me and he has a girlfriend.. I want to tell her so badly, but I am torn..
JenYou never noticed he had a gf until now? Maybe you should have done your homework first before you let a man fly into town for sex with you?
