my gf used to date a guy for 2 weeks (or more idk) because she was trying to forget her ex, but her guy that she was dating was kind of a best friend for her and he said that they couldnt be friends if she didnt date him and she was sad and all but she dated him because if she didnt she whouldnt have anyone to talk to, so kinda against her will she dated this guy, and he was always trying to have sex, touch her and all that stuff, but she never liked him she was with him because if she wasnt she whouldnt have a friend/support and yea, he manipulated saying stuff like “oh if you dont do this we break up”,”if you dont date me we cant be friends” etc etc, even showing his private parts to her in public in order to engange in sexual act somehow, and all this and she never let him touch her but he was always trying to do something somehow, so she wanted to get rid of him, but she didnt cheat cheat she just started talking to a new guy but didnt kiss him or anything just talking and attention, but we consider that as cheating, but she said she only talked to him because she didnt like the (now ex bf), he was a bad bf, he was manipulative, he only wanted sex, she was suspicious that he was also talking to another girl and she wanted to get rid of him and forget him, and to this day she doesnt like talking abt him, i believe she is not like that and she wont “cheat” on me because she likes me and loves me (she was the one that even showed interest in the first place) so im not THAT worried she said she did all that and didnt like him so anything she did with him she regretted, im just trying to see if its a red flag or other prespective idrk, i want to stay with her and i will, but i dont know if i really will be believing anything she says right now.
note: this was from january-june 2023 and we met january 2024,
TL;DR
So my gf was in a relationship with a guy (she never liked him) because she was getting over her ex, he was manipulative and only wanted sexual stuff, so she went and gave another guy attetion and flirt etc, but never kissed nor touched, she wanted to get rid of her manipulative bf, so she “cheated” but just by giving other/getting other dudes attention.
