How do I forgive the one I love in this situation?

Question

My girlfriend and I have been dating for almost 2 years now. I know she is the one I want to spend the rest of my life with. About a month ago, a guy she works with put his number in her. And they started texting each other and my gf was going to try and hook him up with her friend. I knew something was suspicious with the guy. When the night came where my girlfriends friend was gonna meet him, she backed out. I couldn't go because of being out of town. I had told my girlfriend i didn't like the texting because guys are guys and I wanted to break up because of it but didn't mean it. That night my gf went with him to a friends house. She said they only talked. Turns out the guy (who is going to be preacher) wanted this all along. He didn't want to meet another girl. He just wanted to hang out with my girlfriend. He wanted us to break up and he caused it. My girlfriend didn't want to break up. And she apologized to me and told the guy that her heart belonged to me. He got pissed and wanted us broken up so he could have his chance. How do i forgive her for texting him and talking to him all these times and going with him to the friends house that night? How do i know she won't do it again? I know she is the one but she is just making mistakes. But when you are hurt how do you forgive and forget? Thanks for all the help.

Answer 1

She's human so of course she's gonna make mistakes & sometimes those mistakes might hurt you, that's the risk you have to take with love. If you can't accept that then you deserve to be alone.

She didn't cheat on you, she just didn't recognise this guy's intentions, she can't go through life assuming that everyone wants to break you guys up, then she'll have no friends.

It's this preacher guy you should be mad at not her! People will test you relationship all the time, you both have to stand strong, not side against each other!

Answer 2

Didn't you say that you broke up with her before she hung out with the guy. If so then there is nothing to forgive her for because she did it when she was single. And also its not that big of a deal. SHe hung out and texted why does it matter if she told the guy that she wants to be with you?
