I Broke Up With My GF Because She Wanted To Stay A Virgin. Now She Wants To Get Back Together But Had S*x With Someone Else During Our Breakup.
--------
The story revolves around a 23-year-old man who met his ex-girlfriend, a 21-year-old woman, three years ago while living in different halls of residence at university. They had a generally happy relationship, but there was a persistent issue: the ex-girlfriend, who grew up in a very religious household with a pastor father, chose to remain a virgin until marriage, not for religious reasons but to avoid disappointing her father. Despite doing other sexual activities, they never had intercourse, which led to the man feeling increasingly resentful over time as he saw his peers engaging in normal sexual relationships.
As the man was completing his final year at university and his girlfriend had already graduated and started her professional career, their different life stages began to strain their relationship further. She would often talk about successful men at her workplace, exacerbating his feelings of inadequacy. They eventually argued and broke up because they wanted different things from their relationship.
Six months after their breakup, with no contact between them, the ex-girlfriend reached out, expressing her desire to get back together and her newfound openness to a sexual relationship. She revealed that she had a fling with an older colleague during their time apart, which led her to reconsider her stance on abstinence. The man felt conflicted and hurt by this revelation, struggling with feelings of being strung along and questioning why she was willing to have sex with someone else so quickly after their breakup.
After much contemplation and advice from friends and Reddit commenters, he decided to not rekindle the relationship despite still having feelings for her. He realized that he needed to make active choices in his future relationships and not just go along with what the other person wanted. He acknowledged that sex is an important part of a relationship for him, and staying in a relationship without it had caused him significant frustration and resentment.
During a camping trip with friends, he further reflected on his feelings and confirmed his decision to not get back together with her. However, upon returning, he received a series of messages from her, revealing that she was back with the older colleague and had misled him about the seriousness of their relationship. This reconfirmed his decision to move on and not reopen old wounds.
Despite feeling hurt and dealing with a bruised ego, the man focused on his new career as a graduate engineer, enjoying his newfound financial independence and the excitement of starting his professional life. He moved into a shared house in Melbourne, where he met and started dating Olivia, the sister of one of his housemates. Their relationship quickly became serious, providing him with the emotional and romantic connection he had been missing.
Unexpectedly, he encountered his ex-girlfriend and her fiancé at a formal charity event. The meeting was awkward but confirmed for him that he had moved on emotionally. His ex-girlfriend later tried to re-establish contact through an email, expressing how much she missed him and inquiring about his new relationship. Annoyed by her intrusion and determined to honor their no-contact agreement, he deleted the email and blocked her address.
The story concludes with the man feeling content and optimistic about his future. He appreciates the lessons learned from his past relationship and is committed to focusing on his new career and relationship with Olivia. Despite the emotional challenges, he has successfully moved on and looks forward to the new opportunities ahead.
