Hello there,
I recently broke up with my girlfriend, lets call her Brooke, of a year and half. It was intended to be a sort of “break” until summer started because we had both been really stressed with our classes and exams (I love college), and things had started to decline. This was fine with me, but about 2 weeks later I made a big mistake. I had sex with one of my classmates, Sandra, who had just broken up with her boyfriend of 2 years. I didnt really think it through, but Sandra convinced me that having sex with her would help with the pain of being away from Brooke and even eventually help with Brooke and I’s relationship. I felt very guilty afterwards and told Brooke what I had done. She was understandably upset, but the next day she forgave me on the condition that I never speak to Sandra again, which I accepted. We’ve talked and she has told me that I need to make an effort to sort of win her back. She was out this weekend with other guys, which I’m ok with, but I don’t have any idea how I’m suppossed to get her back into my life. I’ve written her cards gotten her flowers and told her that I want her back, but she says she needs to see more effort (our relationship ended at a time when I had almost given up trying. She says I used to do the sweetest, little things and that she could never understand why I suddenly stopped. Truth is I thought I saw the light at the end of the tunnel because I am graduating this year, but I realized how much her love mean to me and how much I need her in my life.) Sorry if this seems like rambling but my question is what should I try and do to show her that I still love her and that I won’t give up on her; I am 100% commited to making us work?
