You deserve someone who has their act together. Be proud of yourself for going through college, don't worry for a second what your parents think about how or who you love. They grew up in a different time and it's none of their business anyway but if things are really hurting you then you should still see them and at least say that you've been stressed, nothing more. I'm sorry you went through such a harsh relationship, when people cheat its normally because there's something about themselves they don't like and they are afraid of what their significant other will think. For now what do you want? It sounds like he doesnt want to change his bad habit for you and thats not ok. If he cant put you first and go to you instead of throwing himself at other people thats his problem, not yours. I think ( and its just my opinion you dont have to take it) you should move on from him and just focus on school and what you want to do with your life. People often find the one they are meant for when they least expect it.

Someone who cheats with 25 different people (!!!) doesn't truly care about you or anyone for that matter. He won't change.

It sounds like he is really not ready to settle down. I don't know if he ever will be. Cheating with one or even two people can, perhaps, be explained away. but 25? My best guess is that he does not want to be in a committed one on one relationship. I do not really know the gay lifestyle, his behavior may be more typical there, or it may be as untypical as it is in the heterosexual lifestyle. (I do not mean to offend, I just do not know.)

I believe that there is a support group here for LGBT issues, and they may have more experience to draw upon.

Wish I had more to offer.

male homosexuals with a history of 25men in last couple years is a risk of spreading aids to you...dump him

Definitely time to move on. when he cheated he had in his head that he wasn't committed to you. That's not personal. That's not individual. That's a young person being at the mercy of their raging hormones, and not having lived yet. Everyone wants to experience life. The problem being when one wants to experience it together and the other wants to experience it alone first.

cheating is something that people bang on about and hold up as the highest crime in town but unfortunately it's not. unfortunately: it's mammalian behaviour. We're a species of great ape. And some people have furious sex drives, and some people have emotional insecurities, and all this mess gets thrown in a pot together and then we try to strain it out through our calvinist filter and there are lumps. Well, reality doesn't really let itself be put in a box.

It hurts to have your heart broken. I don't think there's anything quite like it. But what hurts most is thinking you had something you didn't have. You thought things were like this, and they turned out to be like that. Well of course you would've been fine but they strung you along... they fooled you... you believed them.... how can you believe anyone ever again?

Well you can. And you will. And you'll get better at it. and your friend will sow his wild oats, and yes, you have achieved a wonderful creation and when he's got over his hump he will realise what he has done. Time will do that to him, but it may not do it for 20 yrs.

So you just lick your wounds, tell the family you had a girlfriend who jilted you, build your heart back up again, and go on with your life and hopes and dreams. Who knows, there might be some dishy guy just down the hall from you. YOU don't have to sit on a shelf over this boyfriend of yours. If he wants you back he'd better come crawling, and you don't have to be too available. So just do you.

He is not a good person. HE will always be a cheater.
I am so sorry he broke your heart, but now you can see bullshit from the firt " hello".
