Cheating

Ive been slowing dipping my toe back in the dating world. With lockdown though dating has been hard. Then again i have felt like I needed this time to heal.

Awww best thing you did then not cancelling on him.

Yes I think not knowing my worth was 100% the problem with my ex. Now my motto is we do not settle. Just wish I'd exercised that thought years ago haha Xx

It took me til age 37 to find my worth
just take each date as a fun time but be ready to walk away if it’s not doing to work
take your time and you’ll find the one

Today I said goodbye to my g/f for what could be another 4 or 5 months as I will hopefully be flying out to Johannesburg tomorrow. And even though we love each other very much I am already thinking negative thoughts and that at some point during those intervening months she might get itchy feet and start looking elsewhere while still committing herself to me.

It's only because I've been cheated on before that I think like this, which is probably unfair on her, but that's the way my mind works sometimes.

We shall see what happens I guess

This thread gives me the absolute fear. I have been single for a few years now and the fear of being cheated on makes me not be able to get past the talking/seeing stage with any guy. It just seems nowadays cheating is so rife and deemed somewhat acceptable. I feel like I’ll never find anyone loyal. Does anyone else feel this way?

I think it’s more discussed now, rather than being more rife. Not so long ago it would have been common for a man to have a mistress and for a wife to turn a blind eye. Times have changed now we can freely divorce. Having said that there are more ways than ever to cheat with social media and our whole lives being on phones... please don’t let it hold you back
