Is it possible to overcome cheating in a relationship? My boyfriend and I have known each other for more than 20 years and have been dating for 2 years now. We have an 18 month old son who we both adore. Before my current boyfriend I was in a relationship with a man for 6 years and it ended very badly. I was emotionally crushed. When my current boyfriend and I began dating we were both over the moon. We were so happy together and honest about our pasts. However, I did have emotional issues due to my past. I became afraid to show my feelings for fear of getting hurt again. In a nutshell, I admit, that I was not very emotionally forthcoming with my boyfriend even though I was happy. And to make matters worse with the introduction of the baby, our sex life became rather dismal. I recently just found out he has been cheating on me and I’m devastated. I confronted him about it and he admits it but says what was he supposed to do when we weren’t having sex and I was acting like I didn’t care. I do not accept full responsibility for this scenario but I do know that I am at fault as well. I love him and I know he loves me but I just don’t know if we can overcome this.
