My very first serious relationship and after 4 years, I was being told from other people that they hope I am no longer with him because he was messing around with other girls. Every time I pulled him up on it he would deny it. When I heard it from the other girl's mouths and confronted him with the girls around he would deny it to their faces. He was very convincing so I just thought the girls were just jealous and wanted him. Meanwhile, I've been hearing this story all too much from his friends, our friends and other girls. I started seeing other guys on the side. What did that do? It made me feel better because if the truth came out that he was cheating, I felt like I had some leverage too. I didn't need to hear it any more because I saw it with my own eyes and even when I confronted him on it he still denied it. Since then he has ruined my faith in guys. I swore off marriage and children. It took me four years to start dating again.

Thinking I have moved on from that drama, I guess I didn't because it has reared its ugly head again. So I did the same as in the past. I met someone and started seeing him on the side. But this other guy wasn't just any other guy; he was my first crush in over 6 years ago. Things did not work out with me and my crush. It was weird how things happen once things started to get rocky in my relationship; here he appears after many years.

I had been seeing him on the side close to two months and he made things better for me. It was like he saved my sanity. The hard part was when he called and we were in for the night and I had to press the ignore button on my cell phone. Then it came down to me giving him his own ringtone so I know it was him without looking at my phone. When it was time to go out we spent hours trying to find a place where no one knew anyone. And that's pretty hard living in a small city. We did manage to find a movie theater that no one we knew went to because it was pretty much out in the middle of no where.

After a while I was getting tired of my boyfriend's stories and I was also getting tired of fooling around behind his back. I decided to end the relationship and of course I still did not tell him I was seeing someone else. It turned out to be that, I was now the other woman in this other relationship. My friend is in a relationship and he and his girlfriend have children. I didn't care I was just glad that I had someone when I needed him (or the sex). I was hurt so badly I didn't think about his relationship
