Is it normal to want to be friends with my "cheating" ex-girlfriend?

My "ex" girlfriend and I were together for 2 and a half years. We went to college together (last half of mine, almost all of hers) and had planned to move in together after she graduated. I moved to Chicago a month early to get things organized for us and to look for work. While I was gone (the week before she moved to Chicago) she "cheated" on me with a "friend" of mine. After I found out things simply fell apart. I'm trying to remain friends with her because I still love her (she says she loves me) but it is becoming increasingly difficult. Is this normal?

Is It Normal?

  • im sorry to hear that. If she truly loves you she must feel terribe for what she did. If she really does feel as guilty as she should maybe you guys can work through this, its really realy hard to fix things like trust, but some loves are just so true that it's worth the effort. Were you her first? Does she have low self esteem? Is your 'friend' manupulative and often talk girls into doing things? or is she just a hoe? the root of why she even did that might help you decide what you want to do. good luck hun.

  • Look, if she says she loves you she probably does. Maybe she has something going on with her and that's why she cheats. If she has done it in the past she probably will do it again. You can forgive her and see what happens. I think it's perfectly natural to want to be friends with her though.

  • It's normal. You love her still and that's not surprising. Maybe even consider forgiving her or having a more open relationship, if you have those tendencies. Monogomy is over-rated these days. Everyone seems to fool around and I just accept it. Then again, I'm a little freaky, but that's me.
