Hi All,
I have been dating this girl for almost four years now and I love her very much. She moved to a different state for a job 5 months ago but we still have been able to deal with the distance. Things were going great until something happened a couple of nights ago. I was at a bar with a few friends and had way to much to drink, i normally don’t drink at all, and I ended up kissing another girl that came on to me. This meant nothing to me and even though I was drunk at the time i don’t want to use that as an excuse because I got myself in that situation in the first place. Immediately after I felt horrible and I called my girlfriend the next morning and told her everything. I was completely honest with her.
Naturally, she is feeling very hurt and all the trust she had in me is gone. She says that she probably will be distant and cold to me for a while but that she still wants to stay together and work things out. It is just so hard for me because we are so far apart right now. I am driving myself crazy in my head because of how awful I feel. I think about this every second of the day and it’s coming to point where I don’t know how to handle this.
I am crazy about this girl and can see myself getting married to her. I just can’t believe I did something this horrible. This is so out of my character. I don’t know what to do…she knows that I want to stay with her and she knows that I love her very much.
Please any advice on how to help our relationship or how to handle all of this guilt and pressure that is building inside of me.
Thanks
