Today, the man I have been in a long-distance relationship with for two years told me he has been cheating on me for six months, and that he's leaving me for her. I'm due to fly out to see him next week on a non-refundable ticket. He insists that, "We can still hang out, just not have sex." FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, on my way back from a family trip, my fiancé informed me via text that he'd been cheating on me for years and that he'd moved out of our house and left the state. He blocked me before I could respond. We were together for 7 years. FML
Today, the guy I have been seeing left town to visit his family for three weeks. A few hours later, he called me from the airport to say he is never coming back. FML
Today, my long-distance boyfriend decided to tell me he found a girl in his hometown he’s become attracted to, and that he doesn’t love me anymore. He says we can "still be friends." I’d just driven 100 miles to see him. FML
Today, I found out that my boyfriend of five years has been cheating on me with other women from all the hickeys and scratch marks he has. But to top it off, he's slowly been moving out for months. FML
Today, I found out that my boyfriend of 7 years has been communicating extensively with his ex, who lives out of state, for over 6 months. She booked flights and a hotel nearby in a month and invited him. He didn't say no. FML
Today, my long-distance boyfriend announced he’s sleeping with someone else and he can’t take the distance anymore. I literally drive 12 hours to see him every weekend. I just took a week off to spend time up there with him. So basically he can’t go 5 regular days of the week without sex. FML
Today, my long-distance British boyfriend of 7 years canceled his plane ticket to visit me in the USA. He claims he "doesn't have enough money" to stay for 2 weeks. As I began canceling all the reservations, he called to say he bought a new car and a house. FML
Today, my long-distance boyfriend of 2 years left me for another girl he’s known for 3 months, just because she’s closer. Never mind that I was the one who remained faithful to him for 2 long years, got him through the deaths of his parents, gave him money when he fell on hard times, among other things. FML
Today, after flying halfway across the world to see the man I love, he admitted cheating on me several days before I arrived, not only with someone I know, but with someone I hate. FML
Today, my long-distance boyfriend of 3 years uttered the heartbreaking words, “I met this girl here in my hometown and she’s really great and we fell in love with each other, I can’t do this anymore. We’re over.” I was planning on moving to his town after graduation this year. FML

I could just say "you deserve better" but OP that really just sucks. Think of this as a mini vacation. Treat yourself and forget this loser.

Well if you can afford a hotel, make a holiday of it.

What a dick! If you can afford to, try and make a holiday out of it :) It is easier said than done, but it will be a good way to start getting over him

post this story on his local craigs list. say you are in town briefly and you would like some reliable company. im sure more than a few guys would be willing to take his place. then go and stay so busy you dont even have time for him. f*ck that guy.

That's incredibly stupid. Meeting up with random men from the internet in another country is just begging for incredibly shady stuff to happen.

Yeah the best way to get over a relationship is to have risky sex with as many random sleazy strangers as possible
psyjoniz 12
lol nobody said sex. and we were all strangers once ;)

If you're going to go down that route (and I'm not saying you should), sleep with all his friends rather than random Craigslist guys. And do kinky stuff you didn't do with him. It will bug him forever and you can always blame it on rebound sex so you don't even have to feel guilty.

Yeah, do that so that they can all agree she's a **** and vindicate him for leaving her.

Well jeez, bargaining is one of the 7 stages ain't it?

Where is the new girl going to be while you're hanging out as friends? Something is off- why would the new girl go for you still coming at all? There is more to his offer- I'd be suspicious.

If he had been cheating on OP I highly doubt he is above lying to his new girlfriend about OP coming to see him.

Maybe you should save the proof that he's been cheating and send it to his new fling.

you can't do long term long distance. 2 yrs is too long. trust me. I know I did long distance with my aussie hubby. eventually people find physical comfort and what's close is what wins. you can't expect it to work when it's been long distance for a year or more

unless it's for a legit reason such as military service. (The spouses who cheat then are scum anyway and would cheat regardless as long as there was opportunity.)

That's not true for everyone. It's just rare because people are so focused on comparing long distance relationships to "real" ones. My husband and I were long distance for three years (engaged for two) and we saw each other on average maybe four days every three months. The longest we were apart was nine months (which is nothing compared to say, a military relationship). It's extremely difficult at times, but as long as you communicate openly there's no reason it can't work out if you want it to (thank goodness for Skype). He and I learned a lot about how to communicate and what we value about each other. If you really want to be together, you find a way to make it work. Unfortunately not everyone can overcome the physical distance and they give in to that particular frailty that arises on cold, lonely nights. But if you can... It's well worth it.

People are different. Most probably can't handle long distance, but some can. Something that works or doesn't work in your experience could be the opposite in someone else's experience. People are different and require/want different things and to different degrees.

Fly out there but see if you can find a cheap hotel instead of seeing him. Then go out and see the sights. Just make it a vacation about you. Pamper yourself if you can. Screw that idiot.

Forget him. Fly there anyway, have a vacation, and have the time of your life. Ditch the loser and move on.
