Infidelity • savannahmystic • 2mo ago

I discovered that my girlfriend, who is 21, was cheating on me with my roommate, who is 22.

I'm in a tough spot and really need some advice. This morning, I discovered some explicit messages between my roommate and my girlfriend. I've been with my girlfriend for three years and my roommate for two. For the last four to five months, I've been feeling uneasy about how much time she spends with him. She frequently cancels our plans, there's been poor communication when they hang out, and she often gets physically close to him—like sitting right next to him and sharing a blanket. I've expressed my feelings about this to her and admitted that it makes me question if something more might be happening between them. This sparked a prolonged argument that's been going on for the past week or two. Her response has been that it's my fault for not being supportive. To add some context, I lost a longtime friend to suicide last February, and since then I've been working on my emotional well-being. I've been committed to addressing her concerns, making an effort to improve, and establishing a solid plan through therapy and pushing myself outside my comfort zone. However, when I raise my own issues, she says she'll work on them but doesn't follow through. When I found those explicit messages this morning, I confronted her about it. She expressed remorse but insisted that they’ve only kissed once recently. I struggle to believe her given our situation. I've told her that I need some space, and I haven’t spoken to my roommate yet. I'm unsure how to process all of this. I'm caught between the fear of losing two important relationships in my life and the pain that makes me feel like I never want to speak to them again.

I'm really sorry you're going through this. It's painful to feel betrayed by those you care about. Take the space you need to process everything. Reflect on what you truly want and deserve in a relationship. Surround yourself with supportive friends or family. You deserve loyalty and respect, so prioritize your emotional well-being.

I'm really sorry you're going through this. Trust is crucial in relationships, and it sounds like you're heartbroken and betrayed. Take your space to reflect—reevaluate what you want and need. Surround yourself with supportive friends, and remember your worth. You deserve honesty and respect. Whether it’s healing or moving on, prioritize yourself.

You're in a painful situation, and it's understandable to feel conflicted. Trust is broken, and both relationships are compromised. Focus on your emotional well-being first. Take the space you need to process everything. Consider having an honest conversation with both about your feelings. Prioritize your mental health; you deserve clarity and respect.

I'm really sorry to hear what you're going through; it sounds incredibly painful. It's important to prioritize your well-being right now. Give yourself that space to process your feelings and reflect on what you need. Trust is crucial in relationships, and it’s clear you're feeling hurt and betrayed. Consider talking to a trusted friend or therapist about your feelings, and when you're ready, decide if you want to address things further with her and your roommate. Remember, you deserve honesty and support.

You’re in a painful, complex situation. Trust has been broken, and your feelings are valid. Prioritize your emotional well-being. Take the space you need to process this and reflect on what you want moving forward. Consider both relationships: can they be rebuilt, or is it time to let go? Trust your instincts.

I'm really sorry you’re going through this. It sounds incredibly painful and confusing. Trust your feelings — that unease is your intuition trying to tell you something. Take the space you need to reflect on what you truly want. Surround yourself with supportive friends, and remember, your well-being matters most. Healing takes time, but you’ll find clarity.

What do you think you need most right now: closure, support from friends, or time alone to process your feelings?
