Throwaway account. Don’t want people who I know IRL to know about this necessarily. This is kind of a rant. I apologize for the wall of text and would appreciate any response.
I am 22 and she is 21. He is 21
My girlfriend went to another city 2 months ago as part of an internship. She was very excited about it and I was supportive of the decision since it will help with her long term career goals.
Since she has been there she has been talking to me less. We video chat maybe once every few days. About a three weeks ago she told me that she was struggling and was sad all the time. She also said that she had some issues with our relationship and we talked about them at length. I agreed to work on them. One of them was not talking enough which she agreed we shared the blame on. We then talked about our long term relationship goals, where I admitted that I planned on proposing but couldn’t due to financial reasons. We had talked about marriage before and she was always into it and had mentioned on several occasions that she’s waiting for me to propose.
Since our discussion, I made the effort to text her more and ask to do video calls and phone calls. She has not been very responsive and I thought she might be busy with her new friends and the internship so I let it go.
Today she video calls me and after 10 minutes or so of our normal conversation topics she says she needs to tell me something. She then tells me that two weeks ago she had a drunken one night stand with one of her male friends. She was crying as she told me and repeatedly apologized. She took full responsibility for it and said that she made a dumb mistake. She said she only waited to tell me because I started having troubling symptoms of Covid the same night she did it. I was tested 3 days before so she knew I had Covid. I have asthma and nearly had to go to the hospital (low blood oxygen saturation). She says that she told me today because it’s the first day I have started to feel better.
Coincidentally I am starting therapy tomorrow (virtual visits) and will be talking to them about this as well. The therapy is for anxiety. Not sure if that matters.
If we were to breakup she would get our beloved dog. She adopted her. I have been taking sole care of her for the last few months while she away. I have always paid for her food.
Now I don’t know what to do. Any help is appreciated.
tl;dr longtime girlfriend cheated on me with one of her male friends in another city. I don’t know what to do.
