Today, I walked in on my boyfriend of 7 years with another woman. He panicked and blamed it on the "long distance" and how we "never see each other". We've lived in the same neighbourhood since we were 5 years old, and we've lived together for the past four years. FML

hey, OP here. If only I could blame whiskey! Also I have to admit, the stereotype is somewhat true.

What a cheating bastard. Now this is one of the few FMLs I've seen where it's perfectly acceptable to dump his ass right then and there!

Close the remaining distance between your foot and his balls.

Well you can't take back those 7 years wasted. But you can get someone much more better than him and dump his cheating ass.

Clearly he can't own up yo his lack of commitment. Sorry for the loss :/ but it is good you found out now and not down the road!!

You mean 'further' down the road? 7 years is pretty far.

Those 7 years weren't wasted if you enjoyed them OP, don't let anyone tell you different. Just take it in stride, dump his ass and find a better guy. I hope you didn't have kids w/ him though, he's stupid and a cheater. Nobody wants those genes passed on.

I'm so sorry OP. just remember our whole species isn't like that. You'll find someone, I promise.

He's still your boyfriend after seven years? If I'd been with someone that long they'd be either 'wife' or 'life partner' if we didn't want to get married. But certainly not 'girlfriend'.

1) Some people choose not to marry. Marriage is not compulsary. 2) OP didn't specify age, they could have started a relationship young. They live in Ireland where I do believe the age you can move into your own flat is 16 (could be wrong though). This of course means that they may only be 20 years old. 3) They may feel too young to get married.

I understand some people don't want to get married. Hence the mention of life partner

Not everyone wants to get married. It's nothing wrong about calling him a boyfriend even after seven years...

Also, marriage can be extremely expensive, maybe they were thinking about it (Hopefully not now!) , but couldn't due to the cost.

You realise, of course, that everyone getting married is pretty much an American thing, right? Lots of other countries are perfectly fine with lifetime boyfriend/girlfriend (or even boyfriend/boyfriend or girlfriend/girlfriend, gasp!) arrangements.

7years ! what a jerk just dumb his ass and dont look back, u deserve way better !!!

Well, he at least TRIED to be creative. ;)
