    Sounds perfectly normal to me, why do you see it as a problem?

    I think you deserve better OP.

    If she's sleeping with her ex then she's not over him.

    You deserve someone who is only invested in you and deserve better than this cruel mistreatment.

    Don't put up with this mistreatment. I would be looking her to move out or moving out myself but as she cheated twice I'd want her out.

    I'd be worried too. If it's you she wants, why has she slept with her ex not once, but twice since being with you? I'd have a problem trusting her to be totally honest, and wouldn't be too comfortable with her still keeping in touch with her ex.

    That said, I'd have ditched her after the first mistake of doing it; once a cheater, always a cheater. I suppose you can live and forgive a first time, but a second? No excuses. Sorry man.

    If she's really in love with you she'll stay clear of him. If she doesn't, then I'd get dump her I'm afraid. Good luck x

    She wants to visit him again because she knows you will put up with her treating you like dirt.

    This will destroy your self esteem if you let her do this.

    I know it's hard especially if you love someone but she's not treating you in a respectful manner at all.

    You can and will do better and deserve better.

    I suggested moving her out-only if she has somewhere to go, not out on the streets obviously.

    Telling someone (you're in a relationship with) that they can't see a friend is a tricky subject. I'm not going by experience here, I'm using common sense. One of two things are likely to happen as a result, you'll either end up arguing over it, and she'll play the sympathy case to which you'll give in, her friend will arrive, and they'll sleep togther again or she'll ditch you because you're not being fair.

    I don't think it's a case of that anymore though; she's cheated on you, twice. It shouldn't be a case of "should I let her ex come and stay" it should be you asking yourself whether you really want to stay with this person.

    just to clarify, i live with her in her (rented) home.... and she wants to go to visit him at his.

    Then obviously you can't kick her out then.

    You should look at getting a new place.

    You deserve a woman interested in you and you alone.

    I don't mean to sound rude, but what difference does this make?

    If she goes to visit him, you know what's going to happen. Regardless of that, it still doesn't change the fact that she's already cheated on you, with him, twice. You think she's going to care about doing it a third, fourth, fifth (etc) time? If you put up with it now, she'll no doubt use that to her full advantage.

    Ditch her?

    Edit: if you care for her enough, then you should sit her down, and explain to her that you don't like the idea of her going to visit this friend because of her previous encounters with him. Maybe suggest that you go visiting with her? If sex (with her ex) is no big deal, then she's unlikely to make that big a deal of it, but if that's what she's got on her mind, then she obviously isn't going to want you there. If it comes down to her going alone, then I fear it'll be time for an ultimatum; him or you.

    If you put up with it she will keep doing it, Tell her if she keeps seeing him alone at his place then you will have to move out, If she wants you and not him she will stop seeing him

    Or accept that she is going to do this as long as you let her

    OP, I think it's obvious that she isn't over him and prefers him instead.
    You should either have a discussion with your girlfriend about this or leave her and find someone better.

    Best of Luck :)

    i suggested id go with her after the first time, she said no and she wouldnt do it again... i saw her message to him telling him nothing can happen and he replied ok. she said if i trust her she could go on her own. i then find out that she had in fact slept with him again.

    OP there are plenty of good single women out there who won't mistreat you like this.

    As for her expecting your trust.

    Trust has to be earned. She's done nothing to earn it.

    I know how hard it is when you love someone but this sounds like a toxic relationship and she's treating you badly.

    Learn to love yourself, and kick the bride down the aisle.

    Apparently you can't trust her then.

    Why are we even having this conversation still? You can obviously read what we're all saying cause you're replying to us, though our words/advice doesn't seem to compute.

    She will not be faithful to you. You've got two choices. Either suck it up, and know that you'll be in an open relationship (of sorts) and that she'll play away occasionally, or stop it from happening (either by telling her no, or by finishing it with her). There's no more advice you're going to be able to get from anyone else here, I wouldn't have thought.

    Find a place. Move out. Don't meet up with her again.

    You can keep it amicable though in the process.

    Sorry.

    Thanks for the details. I've saved them because they'll probably come in handy some day.

    To the OP:
    You don't need no scrub who don't treat ya right, ya feel me? Nuh-uh. (To be read in an African-American woman's voice. For the full experience, imagining pouted lips and exaggerated gestures, including finger clicking, is also recommended).

    You don't see the irony in my post or the reason for my closing question??

    The OP asks for advice on a situation that is clearly unacceptable however way you look at it. What advice do they need? Do they really need 'helpful' replies telling them that its wrong. Its stating the obvious.

    OP if you just want to come on here and rant then that's ok, but asking for advice on this is a bit daft.

    OP...assuming that this is genuine because it seems barely credible that somebody would ask advice about something so obvious...sounds to me like she wants out of your relationship and is hoping that treating you so shoddily will make you get fed up and move out. Either that or she thinks you're an idiot.
