Do you ever get to the point that those gut feelings that your significant other is doing something behind your back, go away? I have another post here which you may have read -- I've seen e-mails between my boyfriend and a female co-worker where she seems to be flirting and clinging on to him. He flirts back but it's very minor. He's cheated on me in the past and I honestly believe he hasn't cheated on me after he got caught, but 4 years later, I'm still suspicious when I see things like these e-mails. A suggestion from a response from my other post was to weigh the pros and cons before making any harsh decisions, but am I the only one that thinks no matter how long the pros list is, that the constant worry and stress from mistrust is just not worth it -- after all this time, if I haven't been able to build enough trust to be comfortable in the relationship, I'm tempted to just end it because it probably will be like this forever.
I don't want to lose him, but it's just making me crazy. I know I should try to forgive, etc., but it's easier said than done. I can overlook many of his faults to be able to be happy with him, but this is something I can't seem to shake no matter what I do.
Has anyone out there actually gone through a relationship where there was infidelity, but in the end, everything worked out and you're happy together?
I want to leave the relationship so badly because of this but I love him and don't want to lose him...I'm confused and torn. He has shown his commitment to this relationship in so many other ways, but it's me...I can't get past this.
