You should. You should also tell her so she can dump your sorry butt.

I would just tell her what happened, if she leaves you, then she leaves you
if she chooses to forgive you, then you have a keeper gf 👍 (not as in you can always cheat on her, but that she cares for you enough to forgive you).
 
Well....it depends what he actually did at this disco. Was it a snog? Was it a full blown sexual encounter? Was it just her going: "I love you!" and him going: "I love you too!!!" and pecking a kiss on one another's cheek?

If it was the drunken: "I LOVE YOU!!!" and pecking a kiss on the cheek....that's just camp and isn't cheating.

If it was a snog....well, if the guy was drunk....depends. But you semi-cheated.

Full blown monty stuff? Well....that's difficult to wrangle out of it. Come out with it and explain what happened. See what she says. Expect to be dumped. Or leave her before she can leave you?

Wait, did friends or family see this happening? Even worse
 
Now then, that's always a problem for me. My last girlfriend cheated on me. Know what I did? Dumped her to the curb. That's pretty much my one sacred rule, don't cheat. Relationships are built on trust, and once you've destroyed that trust, you've destroyed the relationship.
 
Answers for GT_Prologue5's Questions: Answer 1: He was probably drunk, and one thing probably led to another and BOOM. You have the problem he's facing. Answer 2: For why he was at a disco, I have no idea. Probably the same reason as in answer 1 -AKA probably intoxicated-
 
It was 80* here on wednesday, 5 days later and we have an inch of snow on the ground.
It's my fault.
 
Chewed out my "best friend" last night after he insulted my mother. Not really a confession because I don't really need to apologize, but I needed to say it. Kid's just a total douche and doesn't understand nobody thinks it's cool when you insult their mom. Insult me? I don't care. Insult my mother? Not cool.

I'm fine with yo mama jokes, because they're different and are obviously just a joke. But the tone my "friend" used was just disgusting.



On a different note, about 11 months ago, I made this post.

I did it, I told her i like her. We had a private talk today and she doesn't like me the same way I like her. :(

To be honest, it feels good to have that off my chest (I mean saying it to her, not putting on GTP) and I don't feel as bad as I thought I would. I mean, sure it hurts but it's not the end of the world, and I'm not devastated or anything. I think we can actually go back to being friends without awkwardness, and it just feels relieving to be able to talk to her again without freezing up and getting nervous.

All in all, a bittersweet feeling is better than being nervous and awkward around her every time I see her.

Turns out she's a lesbian. ¯\(°_o)/¯

I confess I do many dumb things. For example, I don't do much of my homework. I stay up late at night to talk to people in other countries. I get home from school, make a couple posts on here and sleep till midnight, then I wake up. I felt happy today, despite the fact I got a 57% on my science test. I had confidence, and just pushed through the day. And I confess that I no longer give a flying 🤬 if people don't like me. If I'm happy, I don't care what you think.

Hahahahah great edit :lol:

But yeah, this guy was my bro for a long time but now he's an insecure douchebag who pisses everyone off. I don't care, people change, I just don't want to talk to the idiot anymore.
 
Talking about chewing people out...

So I realized (well I kinda knew all along) that I'm generally way too busy and stressed out for my own good. I have a couple of long term projects for school going on on top of my classes and work. That has led me to be often irritable and curt, and I've been chewing more people out for not doing what they are suppose to do or wasting time than I usually have in the past. I feel kinda bad about it.
 
Confession: my brother tricked me into believing he was going to rehab.
The bad thing is, I'd been happier if he actually was going.

Take a look at what you're doing and schedule it. I know, work (especially projects, are a pian in the ass. I have 3 I need to work on, 2 I haven't started and the 3rd is barely into it) is not fun, but also look at it like this: once you finish, you're gonna feel on top of the world.

It's 4:00A.M. but now I feel like doing work...

Nice to see someone doing something to help themself. As you probably know, the best way to sort shyness is social exposure (so long as you don't suffer from panic attacks) and talking to as many people in as many situations as possible.
Oh, and the 'shy guys aren't attractive' line isn't neccesarily bad - girls are very good on picking up on what guys are like, she may have been hinting that if you had a little more confidence she'd be interested.

I guess I'd never thought about it like that, that may just be the motivation I need to get myself sorted this holiday 👍, I reckon when I go to my nans this week I'm just gonna spend a couple of days walking down to the beach and just thinking about it for a couple of hours. I don't seem to get the panic attacks too bad, although I get some very bad nervous ticks and tremors - sometimes an arm or leg will start shivering violently :nervous:, or I'll just start clicking my knuckles or tapping out some liquid dnb rhythm on a table without realising. But yeah, social exposure may a way to do it, although I did try last week and got nowhere, froze a couple of times infront of people and that really didn't help :/

Question #2: Why the hell are you at a disco? :odd:

or GT_Prologue5 is a minor/teenager, under 18 or 21 years old, cause I'm pretty sure most people (over the age of 18/21) call them clubs or nightclubs, being drunk is also a very big possibility like VANDENAL stated.

The only way to beat it is to get out of your comfort zone, but as soon as you do your senses start to scream 'DANGER! FIGHT OR FLIGHT!' - often making things worse for you with nervous ticks and shakes (these physical things are signals telling you to bail, fast). This is why it can be so hard to try things that are new or you have difficulty with.

1. I had EXTREME approach anxiety when walking up to girls I hadn't met before - two thoughts that really helped me conquer it were -
If I walk past saying nothing I gain nothing, but if I stop to chat I might walk away having gained something (experience of the situation, her number, a hug, or even a new friend!).
If she thinks i'm a freak what have I lost? NOTHING! Boohoo, a girl i've never seen before and will likely never see again thinks i'm a freak - big deal huh?

2. I used to walk around thinking that everyone was looking at me and judging me. The truth is that almost everyone is looking around thinking the same - that they are being judged. Not many people want to be the 'freak' that ignores the norms of society to behave how they like.
 
I'm confessing that I learned a lot today! First off, I got a new friend. Secondly I hung out with my buddies at lunch and a few of their friends (the one girl is pretty good looking), and wasn't the awkward one today. I'm doing okay in my classes, but I'm having fun. And Imakuni's thing about people judging is true. I no longer feel bad about myself and look down, I'm confident and being who I am.

I completely froze and was on the verge of braking down again yesterday in ah shop, just asking this shop assistant if she knew when an album was going to be in stock, thought I had been making progress as well, had felt fairly confident for nearly a week or so..

@2. I get that ALL the time, but more as a general paranoia, things like non uniform days back at school id be worrying right up to the gates that it wasnt and i was on the wrong day, that sort of thing

anyway, these last couple of days I think iv gone right back to being depressed again, what with breaking down the other day, as well as being pissed of with sony over the outrage and now my 4th ps3 has broken.... and my parents have been annoying me as well, my dads been going on at me about how I havnt been getting 90%s in my exams (seriously no one in the department is getting 70+ in any of the tests) iv just passed most of em but Im glad I didnt tell him about the one I failed..
Iv been so down lately I havent been able to start on the coursework thats just been put up, I cant even think about it properly

They say it takes over 1000 repititions of an action to make it habit - so don't get disheartened by a minor stumble like that! I stumbled a LOT during my troubles, even when I thought I had everything on lock-down.

Someone needs to watch the Rocky Balboa speech -

'Let me tell you something you already know. The world ain't all sunshine and rainbows. It is a very mean and nasty place and it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life... but it ain't how hard you hit; it's about how hard you can get hit, and keep moving forward, how much you can take, and keep moving forward. That's how winning is done!'

These problems in life are like a punch that sends you stumbling into the ropes, you can give up, cower and get pummeled until you fall flat on your back and get the count, or you can shake yourself, put on your best 'gonna take more than that!' smirk, and soak up whatever else comes your way.

They say in fighting sports that the best way to take a hit is to move with it - same in life... if you need to take time out to move with your emotions and re-focus your mind, do it. Just don't allow yourself to use that time to wallow in self-pity. Instead, come out with a spring in your step and a new plan of attack!
 
I've just cried at a film. Serious man-points loss.

What's worse, it's a film I've seen at least a hundred times.

I must say, since I started back at uni after easter a few weeks ago, I've generally been a lot happier, thanks for the help :) -a friend actually said I looked a lot cheerier- Although I have had one or two bad nights but I'll ignore that for now.

@danny theres nothing wrong with crying as a guy, it happens now and then, just as long as its for a decent reason (I cried when Sara Sidle left CSI the first time lol), I'm half expecting to again at some point during the SENNA movie as well.. I also cried after the Istanbul 2005 champions league final, when you'll never walk alone played, and also most years when it's played at the hillsbourough memorial.

I'm normally not one for really thinking like this.

I've been contemplating suicide tonight. My drunken Mom came in and yelled at me for not saying hello to her friends (I did) and something.She then grabbed my head, while her boyfriend ripped all the cords out of the wall and smashed my TV. I was sitting in a chair when she pulled me to the ground and I hit my head on a dresser. I cried for about 30 minutes with a knife in front of me.

I have no one to talk to.

Call the police. You need to get out of that house and get psychological help immediately.
 
You've got the world to talk to. Something I have learned is if you need anybody at ANY hour just say something here. There are thousands of members on this forum in every time zone.
If I may ask, how long have things like this happening to you? Have you tried finding another place to live? I do not know your age but in the situation of parental abuse it doesn't matter.
If you ever need someone to talk to post on here or pm me. I know for a fact that there are a lot of wonderful people on here that would drop anything they are doing to help a fellow gt player keep grinding away for that one last car.
I really hope you can find the strength to pull through. We're here for you.

I'm echoing Noob. Call the police. Your mother is not fit to raise you in anyway.

What DJones says is true, there's lots of great people on this forum who offer great advice. However, you need to get out of the violent environment you're in, and find someone in your personal life you can talk to face to face. Whether that's a teacher, police officer, friend, counsellor, whoever. I have to reiterate, you really need to call the police and get out of that house. And if you've been contemplating suicide, that means that you need to get help, by someone in your own life.

It's a really bad situation you're in, and we're here for you at the forum, but you need to get help. Please, call the police and get away from the hurtful environment you're in. The way you've described your mom's violence towards you shows that she's not a supportive parent. You need to get away as soon as possible.
