My [M23] gf [F22] slept with a coworker when we were broken up
This has been an issue for a month now. We have been together for almost 2 years outside of a 3 week timespan we broke up because we kept arguing about the smallest things. We thought maybe we weren't giving each other enough space. I realized that I should not have broken up with her, it was a mistake once we had a little distance from each other.
We got back together and found a good balance of spending time together. Things are going good again, but she mentioned while we were broken up she did sleep with a coworker.
I am trying to get over this but I'm having a hard time. I've only ever slept with her. She's only ever slept with me until now. She apologized because she saw I was hurt but she said we were broken up which is true. They didn't even use protection, but she is on birth control.
A mutual female friend of ours says I'm overreacting and the most important thing is our relationship has been really good lately. My guy friend said to break up with her.
