Today, my girlfriend of 3 years who had taken a job in a new city last month came into town and told me that she had slept with a co-worker last Friday. Last Friday I was incredibly lonely but I turned down a very attractive woman because I didn't want to hurt my girlfriend. FML

Those are probably the reasons why he didn't want to hurt her...

don't listen to all these people telling you not to leave her cheating is unforgivable.

Also agree. Once a cheater, always a cheater. My particular favorites are the ones that break off relationships before they're physically intimate with the person they intend on pursuing after previous said relationship ends; extenuating circumstances notwithstanding(abuse, neglect, etc. etc.). Nothing quite like complex excuses being used to justify emotional cheating, just so sex-with-a-new-person can commence as soon as possible.

Wait, I don't quite get it: should they first cheat physically too? I agree that one should try to avoid situations which gets them too attached to other people, but still...

Your a pretty good guy, FML maker. You should break up with the girlfriend and keep all relations with your co-worker STRICTLY BUSINESS with no small talk.

I'm gonna go with neither YDI or FYL.....I wouldn't say YDI because you were cheated on first....but I wouldn't say FYL just because of that last part about you having the opportunity to cheat and didn't. I mean, yeah, good for you for not cheating, but the fact that you even considered it makes this not an FML for you.

So what you are saying, is that you consider him deciding not to cheat to be just as bad as her cheating because in deciding not to cheat he had to have considered doing it. you are what is wrong with society.

Dude...that is ****** up logic. He said he was lonely, but when given the chance to cheat on her said no regardless of that - not that he had decided to then not!

I think you should not cheat because you HAVE a girlfriend, not because you just don't want to hurt her.

i think the not wanting to hurt her is a more noble reason than just the involvement in a relationship, since it actually takes her feelings into account. it's like saying "i visited my grandma because she's my grandma" is a better reason than "i visited my grandma to cheer her up."

But see, in 2 months when your (ex?) g/f gets run over by a bus and you don't, you'll be glad about not sleeping with a hot chick. Karma is a bitch.

I kinda want to say "And...?" Did she beg your forgiveness? Did she say she was through with you? Was she just keeping you up to date on her life? Were you planning on following her? Just, make sure she gets tested in two weeks and at 6 months if you stick with her. Which is totally up to you.

Should never have kept the relationship going without first talking about this stuff. If you are this far apart you are bound to cheat eventually. YDI

Not sure if you meant that because they didn't talk about it she was bound to cheat or because they were in a long distance relationship she was bound to cheat. If it's the first, well, I could agree with you to some extent. But if it's the latter, I do not agree with you at all. If both people are totally committed to making the relationship work, then it will work.
