I'm a bike lover and riding is something I genuinely enjoy. I'm still new to this obsession with machines, so I wanted some honest opinions from experienced riders.

I own a Pulsar NS that's compatible with E20, but it definitely felt more powerful and gave better mileage when I used regular petrol (E0).

Ever since ethanol blends became common, I've been wondering what the future of motorcycles will look like.

Don't get me wrong—I think electric cars are great. For daily commuting, they make a lot of sense.

But for motorcycles, it just feels different. The engine note, the vibration, the power delivery, the wind on your face, the pulls, cornering... it all feels emotional in a way that electric bikes haven't been able to replace for me.

I recently turned 18, and one of my biggest dreams has always been to own a few different bikes over the years maybe a sport bike, a naked, an ADV, a cruiser. I don't hate Royal Enfield or any brand, honestly.

I just love motorcycles and wanted to experience different kinds of engines, power, torque, and riding styles.

Now I'm starting to worry that the future of motorcycling is changing faster than I expected.

Am I overthinking this, or do other riders feel the same? Do you think ICE motorcycles will still have a strong place 10–20 years from now?

I just lost the person I genuinely wanted to spend my life with.

I cheated on my girlfriend by emotionally and romantically involving myself with another girl while I was with her. I'm not here to justify it or make myself look like the victim. I know I cheated, I lied, and I broke her trust, and i genuinely loved her alot i know you all will think this is contrary but it happened i just cheated her.

The situation was messy. A close friend from my past confessed that she loved me. Instead of setting a clear boundary, I kept delaying difficult conversations. One lie became another, and before I realized it, I was double dating. I eventually realized that I wanted only my girlfriend and ended things with the other girl before everything came out, but by then the damage had already been done.

When my girlfriend found out, she was devastated. She cried, told me how broken she felt, and said she still loved me but didn't think she'd ever be able to trust me again. I apologized, admitted what I did, begged for one chance, and told her I'd spend however long it took earning her trust back.

She chose to leave.

The hardest part is that she didn't leave because she stopped loving me. She left because she believed the trust was gone forever. I can't even say she's wrong.

I feel guilty because I know I'm responsible for all of this. I keep replaying everything in my head and asking myself why I made those decisions. If I could go back and change them, I would.

I guess I'm posting because I have two questions:

Has anyone here ever genuinely rebuilt a relationship after cheating, or once trust is gone is it usually over?

If you were in my girlfriend's position, would there have been anything I could have done after the truth came out that would have changed your mind, or was the relationship already over at that point?

I'm not looking for people to tell me I did nothing wrong. I know I did. I'm just trying to understand whether there's anything to learn from this besides living with the consequences.

and yes i want genuine advice and help for moving on
