We cheated on each other. Now what?

My boyfriend and I have been together for about 2 years. We've had a great relationship, but 6 months ago, an ex boyfriend, after asking me to for about a year, finally got me to cheat on a cruise ship (my boyfriend was not there). We made out and touched, but that was it. Afterwards, I realized I never saw anything in that guy and wanted to stay with my boyfriend, so I did and never said a word.

I've always been insecure about my boyfriend's ex, but yesterday morning when I brought her up, it was the last straw, and he confessed that he did the same thing with her WHILE I was on the cruise ship. He said I deserved much better, but it tore me apart. I only want to be with him. We didn't talk that night, but neither of us slept, and this morning, we decided to talk.

I told him that there are things about me that I can change, and since I honestly did do the same thing, I can give him the benefit of the doubt, and we can move forward from this. I want to build our trust back up and work on our relationship. He told me he wasn't sure what love was and if he loved me as a best friend or girlfriend, but we decided to work out our relationship anyways. We're currently together.

The reason I think he feels this way is because we're basically following routine. I spent the night at his apartment almost every night, and we almost always messed around or had sex, so now, we don't know what it is to miss each other. It's like it lost its meaning. I think after some time apart, we'll realize we do care for each other and will improve our relationship. What do you think?

You've had the awkward talk. Sounds like you're all set.

 

Especially with a two year history together.

 

You're his girlfriend. Regardless of if it's official or not.
