Thank you for the replies so far.
We are now exclusive. Since we got tested she has not been intimate with anyone. She wants an exclusive relationship with me and only me. This has been the case for 5 months.
Yes, she did lie on more than one occasion. But she said it’s now all on the table cause she knows we have nothing without trust.
I get why people lie. It’s always out of fear. She was pretty open with me about her history but it’s ****** that she thought she had to lie about her number of partners since her last STD test before we started seeing each other. In her head, she *knew* she was clean. So what’s the big deal about lying. The fear was she didn’t want to seem promiscuous or a threat to my health and either get shut out or no longer laid by me.
A week after we started seeing each other and before we became exclusive or talked about not exchanging bodily fluids with anyone else. The situation where she took the girl home from the club but was texting me she only has eyes for me and she can’t wait to see me. I believe that she couldn’t wait to see me and that emotionally she felt a connection with me. However, the “I only have eyes for you” is bull. At the same time she’s only had history of open relationships. This means you love one person but you can have sex with other people and it means nothing. She was acting on what she knows and is use to. We also did not discuss exclusivity. However with me, now, when I like someone I will not sleep with other people. However, when I was younger, it was a different story.
One thing I wouldn’t be able to handle is a partner that has the potential to cheat physically and emotionally. In anyway shape or form actually. It would eat at me not being able to trust them when they go out.
She is seeking therapy and she really is wanting to sort out herself. She’s saying all the right things. Seems to be planning to do all the right things. She says she doesn’t care it if takes 6 months to a year, she’s going to do whatever it takes me be the best person she can.
Should I even be giving her a chance to earn back trust?
