Today, the man I have been in a long-distance relationship with for two years told me he has been cheating on me for six months, and that he's leaving me for her. I'm due to fly out to see him next week on a non-refundable ticket. He insists that, "We can still hang out, just not have sex." FML

I could just say "you deserve better" but OP that really just sucks. Think of this as a mini vacation. Treat yourself and forget this loser.

Well if you can afford a hotel, make a holiday of it.

What a dick! If you can afford to, try and make a holiday out of it :) It is easier said than done, but it will be a good way to start getting over him

post this story on his local craigs list. say you are in town briefly and you would like some reliable company. im sure more than a few guys would be willing to take his place. then go and stay so busy you dont even have time for him. f*ck that guy.

That's incredibly stupid. Meeting up with random men from the internet in another country is just begging for incredibly shady stuff to happen.

Yeah the best way to get over a relationship is to have risky sex with as many random sleazy strangers as possible

If you're going to go down that route (and I'm not saying you should), sleep with all his friends rather than random Craigslist guys. And do kinky stuff you didn't do with him. It will bug him forever and you can always blame it on rebound sex so you don't even have to feel guilty.

Yeah, do that so that they can all agree she's a **** and vindicate him for leaving her.

Where is the new girl going to be while you're hanging out as friends? Something is off- why would the new girl go for you still coming at all? There is more to his offer- I'd be suspicious.

If he had been cheating on OP I highly doubt he is above lying to his new girlfriend about OP coming to see him.

Maybe you should save the proof that he's been cheating and send it to his new fling.

you can't do long term long distance. 2 yrs is too long. trust me. I know I did long distance with my aussie hubby. eventually people find physical comfort and what's close is what wins. you can't expect it to work when it's been long distance for a year or more

unless it's for a legit reason such as military service. (The spouses who cheat then are scum anyway and would cheat regardless as long as there was opportunity.)

That's not true for everyone. It's just rare because people are so focused on comparing long distance relationships to "real" ones. My husband and I were long distance for three years (engaged for two) and we saw each other on average maybe four days every three months. The longest we were apart was nine months (which is nothing compared to say, a military relationship). It's extremely difficult at times, but as long as you communicate openly there's no reason it can't work out if you want it to (thank goodness for Skype). He and I learned a lot about how to communicate and what we value about each other. If you really want to be together, you find a way to make it work. Unfortunately not everyone can overcome the physical distance and they give in to that particular frailty that arises on cold, lonely nights. But if you can... It's well worth it.

People are different. Most probably can't handle long distance, but some can. Something that works or doesn't work in your experience could be the opposite in someone else's experience. People are different and require/want different things and to different degrees.

Fly out there but see if you can find a cheap hotel instead of seeing him. Then go out and see the sights. Just make it a vacation about you. Pamper yourself if you can. Screw that idiot.

Forget him. Fly there anyway, have a vacation, and have the time of your life. Ditch the loser and move on.
