This 26-year-old guy has known his girlfriend, who is also 26 since they were just 3-years-old. Since then, they have been best friends for their entire lives, and they even started dating about three years ago.
Before they entered a relationship, however, his girlfriend had an ex-boyfriend– who she dated back in college. Apparently, they were together for about a year and a half.
Anyway, when he was out one evening last week, he wound up bumping into his girlfriend’s ex.
“We were friendly enough, I guess, but I didn’t see or talk to him once they split up,” he recalled.
While the whole interaction was a bit awkward, though, he did admit that he was now in a relationship with his girlfriend. And apparently, his girlfriend’s ex was seriously surprised.
Then, his girlfriend’s ex asked if she had ever filled him in on the reason her last relationship had ended.
“I remembered her being upset and saying he had dumped her, but that’s about it,” he revealed.
Well, his girlfriend’s ex claimed that the true reason they split up what because she got caught cheating on her ex with one of his other good friends!
And since finding that out, he has been left utterly shocked. He’s also not sure how he should feel about the whole situation.

Apparently, he is still really good friends with the guy that his girlfriend cheated on her ex. Yet, he had no idea any of this had happened. It came out during his conversation with his girlfriend’s ex that, during her last relationship, her ex started to suspect something was going on behind his back.
“And he snooped on her phone expecting to find out it was me she was cheating with, but found all of the messages, pictures, and videos between her and my friend,” he explained.
He honestly cannot understand how both his girlfriend and his friend hid that from him. Plus, since finding out, all kinds of thoughts have started running through his head. According to his girlfriend’s ex, she and his friend had been hooking up for at least one month by the time the truth came out. However, he has no clue how long the affair had actually gone on.
He does realize that all of this occurred before they ever started dating. Nonetheless, the fact that his girlfriend never bothered to tell him– and the realization that his girlfriend has cheated before– has really started to mess with his head. He also has not been able to approach his girlfriend to tell her that he found out the truth.
“But she knows something is up, so it’s coming,” he said.
So now, he’s looking for advice on how to confront his girlfriend and deal with the situation.
How would you feel if you found out that your partner had cheated in the past? What about if the infidelity had been committed with one of your good friends? Can you understand why he now feels weird about both his girlfriend and his friend? How should he handle this?
