I'm sure this just another breakup story for you guys but I still want to share my sentiments anyway. I'm making my decision right now to brak up with my girlfriend. Why? Believe it or not, she chose a married man over me. Yep, you read it right. My girlfriend is having an affair with a married man. What hurts more is that she hid this relation relationship from me and I learned it from her neighbor whose also a friend of mine. Well, that's all I can put in here for now. If I'd go into details, there might not be enough memory space here to pour it all on.

Hey there my friend... I feel for you and I know that you're going through a difficult time right now. I guess the only consolation that you'll have is knowing that you were not the one who cheated but you girlfriend. If she has chosen to stay with the married man, then I guess you will have to let go. She will realize her mistake the hard way. In the mean time, try to keep yourself busy so that you don't have time to feel the pain. Things will fall into their rightful place in time.

That really sucks. Having gone through many breakups, can I offer some suggestions? 1. Don't listen to any music for at least 2 weeks. Every song will stir up memories and you'll be in more pain. 2. Think of something that has nothing to do with her, which makes you smile (a puppy, another girl, a car)and every time she pops into your head, replace her with your happy thought. 3. Join a gym and work out every chance you get, or if that's impossible, then take up jogging and do it as often as you can every day. 4. Think of other things to do that make you feel good. 5. Don't talk about her to anybody. Write it in a journal (there are free online journals where you can pour your heart out. If anyone asks, just say, "I'm fine. I'd rather not discuss it right now." 6. Be super cheerful. Don't allow yourself to wallow. Don't rag to your friends. I know this is hard to do, but try your best to be happy, keep busy, improve yourself and do something interesting with your life. Before you know it you won't be able to fight all the girls off. There is a much better one out there waiting for you to find her. Good Luck!

Hello friend. Thanks for the advice. I'm doing well now. I've realized that though it was an unfortunate experience for me, I still learned some lessons from it nonetheless. Another consolation I can add is that most of the times, girls are the ones cheated on by their significant others. I could say this is one situation that could even out the things a bit. I'm not saying I deserve it, but I guess this could be an atonement for the wrongs other guys have done. Well, no use looking back at the past now. Gotta move on. Life and time waits for no one and we'll just have to live each day the best way we can and learn as much from them.

Hi friend. Thanks for the great tips. They really helped a lot. I'm doing much better now. In time, she'll be totally of my mind for good. Thanks again and have a great week.

Uh! A married man? Didnt she think that she might become a homewrecker? I really cant judge her, i dont have the right to and i dont know her reasons, but anyway you look at it, it's wrong. She did two bad things at the same time. Cheating on you (and i think no one has the right to cheat on anyone), and having an affair with a married man (families get ruined, tsk tsk). If she wasnt decent enough to end things with you before having an affair with someone, she's not worth it.

Ouch!... She actually chose a married man. You should get over her now. She is not worthy of you on other words. I am sure you'll find the right one for you very soon. Just keep your hopes up. Don't let her ruin your life. Live your life the way you want it to be. :)
