Should I give up on a single mistake?

[cheatedgf]

My girlfriend cheated on me with her officemate. I knew she was when she got to the shower one night and left her phone unlocked on the bed. Someone called, so I picked it up and answered the call. As soon as I did, the guy on the line called me baby which I presume was for my girlfriend. I was dumbfounded and left there speechless. My girlfriend got out of the shower room and was shocked when she saw me holding her phone. I asked her why. I asked her what did I do to deserve such. She only responded with a cry and said she was sorry but I didn’t know what to do anymore. I left without listening to her explanation. I know that everyone of us deserves a second chance, however, her mistake was inexcusable. She cheated on me and I can’t tolerate that. Am I being too hard on her? Do you think I should let her explain and get on with our relationship? But what if the same thing happens?

She cheated on me and I can’t tolerate that.

If you can't tolerate it, then don't settle for less. The fact is that if you try to make up with her, you will always have the picture of her cheating. So, you might never be able to trust her again.

It's best to leave her and find someone else.

The decision is yours to make. If you know you can find a place in your heart to forgive her and will never bring up the issue in the future, you might want to give the relationship another try. Otherwise, breakup with her and move on with your life.

Why didn't she tell you ? Personal experience I still don't trust him it's been 4 years.

I agree with you. Thank you for the advice.

This is appreciated; thank you so much.

Timing. I'm a strong believer in that. You were there at the right time and you were shown the truth. If you question what you should do..you probably will end up back with her. Just remember you will always have trust issues. Fallback.
