After and my girlfriend got back together, I accidentally cheated on her....let me explain.
My girlfriend and I had been broken up for a while, but even during the breakup, we were still actively communicating and trying to work through our issues with the intention of getting back together.
During that time, I started talking to another woman. She had no idea that I was still in contact with my ex and that we were potentially working toward reconciling.
Eventually, my girlfriend and I got back together. However, just a few days later, the other woman called me, and the conversation quickly turned flirtatious and confrontational. In hindsight, I shouldn't have entertained it, but I genuinely didn't think anything would come of it. We had been talking for a while, but nothing physical had ever happened between us.
Unfortunately, one thing led to another, and I made the decision to invite her over to my apartment. We ended up having sex.
Now I'm in a difficult situation. I've cheated on my girlfriend, and the other woman has developed feelings for me and wants a relationship.
I feel incredibly guilty about the entire situation. I never intended for things to go this far, especially considering that I had just reconciled with my girlfriend.
I know I made a terrible decision, but now I have to figure out how to handle the consequences without making an already difficult situation worse
