Hello,

I have been in your situation before and i know how it feels. Only difference was that i found out, instead of her telling me.. And at first she lied about it and told me it was just a kiss.. When in fact it turned out to be all the way sex.. I found out from one of her friends, confronted her and she admited it.

In the end.. Because i loved her so much i forgave her for it... I think you should do the same too... She had the courrage to tell you what she has done... Thats one of the hardest things to do is tell your partner about a mistake you have made.

The only issue i had after was that the trust wassnt as nealy as strong as it used to be, and i became protective, which led to her semi cheating on me again (sent exposed pics of herself to my cousen). - Even after that, i forgave her... then towards the end of last year, she left me for another guy, who used her.

If you can forgive, do it... If you simply CANT... Then its best to forget... its a whole lot easyier, and saves you pain in the long run.

Good luck, and im sure your heart will tell you what is best for you.
