Once a cheater always a cheater?

it just did no good. He would just deny it. So what better reason than just to start talking or seeing other people. Word would get around and then reality would hit him and he will get his act together. That didn't work. So then I started going out with two of his friends at the same time. They didn't know about each other and I was rather crafty in those days when they were hanging together and they saw me. They never knew about each other and of course my boyfriend at the time did not know either. Well I ended breaking up with him anyway, because I caught him cheating. Every inch of my body wanted to drop this bomb on me but I didn't want to get killed or caught in a middle of something else so I left it alone and I just prayed that one of them would "slip up" and tell him. Well fat chance that never happened. I was fifteen when I first dated my first boyfriend and I broke up with him at the age of nineteen.

I am now 28. I've been in a relationship for five years. I LOVED my boyfriend. I would do just about anything for him. I'm not sure what happened; but whatever it was it left a huge communication gap between us. So we ended up fighting once a month. Then it turned in to twice a month, then once a week, then twice a week and then it got to the point where it was just about every day. I found solitude in hanging out with my friends. Going to happy hours flirting with other guys and then I felt well enough after all the flirting that I was willing to put our arguments aside and just move forward. Well I'll tell you this. That's not the best thing to do. All it does is put your problems on the back burner and begins to fester all over again. Then you are back to square one. So the void between us begins to grow more and more. Its now to the point where we cannot be civil towards each other and our only form of communications is yelling at each other. The I love yous stop the hanging together stops, the being intimate with each other also stops.
That's when an old, old friend that I had such a HUGE crush on reappears. It starts with the talking, then the stopping by his job to see him, and then he asks you out to the movies but it's not a date because the both of us have someone. But when we go out he's dressed in a nice outfit and of course I am dressed in one of my cuter outfits that I have not wore in ages. Typically if I am out with my boyfriend its just jeans, sneakers and a shirt to match. So the "outing" is no longer feeling like an "outing" (I knew
