So I cheated on my boyfriend due to among other things struggles with drug addiction and mental health but i am passed that and he has forgiven me and in turn I have done so much for him and we have a great relationship

when he posted we were back together on his social media he had tons of people come out of the woodwork to tell him not to take me bac and I was a worthless woman that deserved no rights

But why ? It can’t be genine concern for him because these guys hadn’t talked to him in years and weren’t there for him when he posted about my infidelity previously

He also had a few girls come out of the wood work which you would think would be an attempt to date him but it ca’t be that agian they had like 6 months we were broken up they could have done it then

Yo usupport anythign between 2 consenting adults. Why is it rong to forgive the one you love ?

    Yeah, can’t believe all his friends don’t want him to get back with a cheating drug addict.

    People are capable of change, sure, but after showing a pattern of behaviour where you show getting off with someone other than your partner is more important to you than the respect you have for your partner and maintaining that relationship, why should anyone involved trust or care about what you have to say on the matter?

    And from all your responses here, it seems like you are really trying to justify cheating and are giving excuses to treating your partner like shit.

    Take some responsibility, own your mistakes, and try to be a better person, not get angry at people for what YOU did to YOUR partner.

        No, you’re not, you cheated that’s the most fundamental thing not to do, that’s like saying “I’m a great cook, I would argue better than the majority of cooks, I only put rat poison in my food once!”, would you eat in the same restaurant where a cook intentionally put rat poison in your food once already?

        Okay, good for you…

        But just because you gave up drugs doesn’t change what you did. We all own our mistakes for the rest of our lives.

        People don’t owe you trust or respect if you break those things. Maybe you can build those things up again with the other people in his life but that takes time.

        Also, no. you cheated on him. Most good girlfriends don’t cheat on their partners… What do you expect? Most people think cheating is a shitty thing to do.
