My current boyfriend comes from a family of wealth, I’m talking Regina George wealth—big nice house in a gate-guarded neighborhood, sports cars and designer everything. I enjoy the perks of dating a rich guy, i know how shallow that sounds but it’s true. The gifts, the places I’ve gone and the people I’ve met—it’s hard to give that up. I know he cheats and it hurts but I’ve come accommodated to this lifestyle

My boyfriend and I have been dating for almost 6 years (anniversary in 3 days as I’m writing this). About a year a half in, I found out that he had sent some dirty texts to a mutual friend and had felt her up in a park. I found out months later. I’m not impulsive, so I told him I had to think. I was a wreck, I felt broken and I cried more than I ever had. This was back in high school, and while we took that break I made eye contact with him at a pep rally, and I knew I couldn’t let him go. He cried too, and begged me to give him one more chance. And I did, but I made him work for it. I asked him to tell me exactly what they did and he wrote me a 6 page letter. I asked him to tell me why he loved me and he made me an hour and a half long video. Every hoop I made him jump through, he did it with every fiber of his being. He had to prove he wanted to be with me, and he did. It took years to finally be at peace with it, but I think I’m glad it happened. He was a flirt, and I would be insecure all the time that he wanted to be with other girls. Now, I never worry. We’re long distance at the moment, and I never worry about it at all. People tell me he talks about me all the time. So I guess the moral of the story is this: I knew something about our relationship was special, and I chose to try to make it work. And there’s no shame in that. As long as you’re willing to put in the effort, it’s always possible to find a way to put yourselves back together.

We got together when we were 16, two years into the relationship he was talking to other girls online so we broke up for six months. We came back together after six months after he realized there’s nothing good out there. I got back together with him because I knew we were young and each other’s first love and we needed to date other people in order to know this is real. We came back stronger because of it to be honest and now eight years later we have a 6 month old son.
