She had a “sex buddy”, with which she had just started to meet. They would just text each other and meet at a hotel. They never went out on any dates. The day we met, she stopped communicating with her “sex buddy”. We went out four times, and then I was out of the state for about a month. We text and spoke several times every day. While I was out of state, I told her I was going on a quick trip, with a girl, but nothing was going to happen. She told me not to hurt her. I told her I would never hurt her. She didn’t believe me and had sex with the “sex buddy”, the day I left for the quick trip. Soon after I got back from out of state, we became a couple, and two months later moved in together. That is when she told me all the above. I knew nothing at all about the “sex buddy”. When I was upset that she had sex while I was gone; she said it was just insurance, so she wouldn’t get hurt. She said we were not a couple at that time. I had been gone for over a month, and she was not sure I was even going to return. And if we were a couple, I would never have gone on a quick trip with another woman. She showed me their text. She text him hello, he text do you want to meet, she text yes, he text her the room number, she text back be there in 10 minutes. Looking at time stamps, it looked like a business transaction, and she was really in the room less than 30 minutes. Then looking at her facebook checkin, she went and got drunk. She said she wanted to forget me. She said the whole time in the hotel room, she thought about me, and she was angry. She said she was wishing it was me and not him. But I was not there, I was with another woman, and she was extremely hurt. The day I returned from out of state, she text him that it was over and to never contact her again. She deleted any trace of him. She deleted him from facebook, phone contact, and everything. We have shared phones from the day I moved in. I use her phone to send text at times, and she uses mine. It has been almost a year. And I know she has had no contact with him. It happened while we were dating, and we were not an official couple. So why do I think of that one day, the room number, and hotel name, 100 times a day. I really don’t care about the times she was with him before we met. But that one day keeps me from sleeping at night. What do I need to do to get past that day? I do sometimes wish I had had sex during that time. Then maybe I could get past it. It really is just that 30 minutes I can’t stop thinking about. She has told me every detail of it, and answered any question I have asked. We are talking about getting married, and I really need to get that day out of my head forever. Please help
far as i can tell she has been completely honest and open with you, i would let it go. especially since she deleted everything and you guys share phones.
it sounds like she really likes you and has been hurt badly before and may have trust issues, also at the time you guys were not officially a couple. anytime anyone male or female has been hurt badly in a previous relationship, the guard walls are going to be up to take precautions not to get hurt again.
sometimes being honest kinda hurts like in your case but you did the right thing by telling her the truth and not hiding anything from her, that shows you care about her. from a guy standpoint, yes it's perfectly natural to be feeling the way you are ( we have this thing called an ego & it tends to get us in trouble!) "she did it, d*mn, i knew i should've..." but she did the right thing by telling you the truth too, keep in mind women are generally more clever than we are when it comes to disguising infidelity. she told you everything( she could have hid it from you!), it happened and there is nothing either of you can do to undo it. let it go, holding on to it is unhealthy for you guys relationship, good luck
