My boyfriend was piss drunk and hooked up with another girl. he said it was nothing serious, that they just made out - BUT THATS STILL CHEATING. he says he loves me and hes sorry and will never do it again. Im not sure if that makes it okay though...what should i do?

Being drunk doesn't give anybody an excuse to cheat or do something bad especially when they are committed. As for your boyfriend, I don't think its s great excuse for him to hook up with someone. For me, if he really loves you he will realize that cheating on someone is not good. One thing, I really don't believe that they don't remember anything while they are drunk.. they can recognize faces, and they can also recognize that they are committed to someone.. the only thing that they can't remember is that what particular words they are saying..That's my opinion. I have been heavily drunk before, but I know what I'm doing.. so I've been in that situation before, So he should be giving you that excuse because is not true.. He should be sorry for what he did to you, but I guess you should think twice.. because he did that for the first time and probably he can do it again..

Just kick him out of your life, cheat on you while drunk is not an excuse to forgive him. Tell him to go f*ck himself and don't believe a word of his lies that he still love you. You know every man who cheated his girl friend say that he is sorry, it is just a common phrase use by all the cheaters in th eworld. Only a foolish woman take it seriously.

Actually no I could not forgive as I am one who has self control. If anyone says they love me they would at least learn to take it easy. Being drunk does not excuse a person from cheating. My thoughts is that just because he was drunk, does this now mean that anytime he goes out for a drink or two, I am to expect he can't control himself. So yes it does not make it okay and I would not accept it.

Cheating is cheating in any form. If I were you I will just forget him. Perhaps if you really really really love him then you can let go of this experience. But if it just keeps haunting you, then being with that guy will do no good. You will just keep asking why he did it and you might just keep comparing yourself to the other girl. Your confidence and self esteem will suffer in the end. Good guys are rare on our times. The same goes with good girls I guess. But just have faith in people. And in love. =D

Like they say, once a cheater, always a cheater. However, I don't quite agree on this.. I belive that in time, people can settle down into a serious relationship. The scenario really does depend on the person... he was drunk ... I don't think that this matters... He can be drunk again, does that mean he can cheat on you again? NO! Some people change... some don't.. Does he respect you? Does he care about your feelings? Even if he hurted you... he may still love you...
