She said she had been \u201cacross the country for the holiday\u201d when it happened, making the discovery even more jarring. The poster admitted she didn\u2019t know whether he would have cheated, saying, \u201cI know her personally and have never gotten that vibe,\u201d yet the situation raised unsettling questions she couldn\u2019t ignore.<\/p>\n

Even though he insisted that \u201cnothing happened,\u201d the fact that he hid the coworker\u2019s presence shattered her trust. She wrote that it felt \u201cweird AF\u201d that his coworker had been alone with him in their house, and the lie that followed made her feel even more uneasy about their relationship.<\/p>\n
Now, the couple had started both individual and couples therapy as they tried to rebuild what was broken. She shared that she hadn\u2019t yet decided whether the relationship would continue, saying the future \u201cis more so based on how things go.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the midst of this healing process, her boyfriend planned to leave town for a weekend to attend his brother\u2019s bodybuilding competition. She said she expressed her discomfort multiple times over the previous two weeks, telling him \u201cit is not a good time\u201d for him to travel and that she wished he wasn\u2019t going.<\/p>\n
He repeatedly reassured her with, \u201cIt will be fine I promise,\u201d but the anxiety persisted. She emphasized that she didn\u2019t believe he would cheat on the trip since \u201chis grandmother is staying in his hotel room,\u201d yet the thought of him leaving still felt overwhelming.<\/p>\n
The night before his departure, the emotions came to a head. She told him directly, \u201cI did not want him to leave town this weekend,\u201d and explained how she \u201ccouldn\u2019t shake\u201d the anxiety. When he again insisted she didn\u2019t need to worry, she broke down, asking why she had to feel this way.<\/p>\n
She reminded him that he had \u201cput us into this situation,\u201d and now she was the one suffering while he still got to do something he wanted. The conversation became tense as she waited for him to make a choice, and eventually he relented, saying, \u201cFine, I\u2019ll text my brother that I can\u2019t go.\u201d<\/p>\n
The moment he said it, she began crying even harder. She explained that she felt guilty, worrying she was taking away his brother\u2019s \u201cbiggest support person\u201d during such an important milestone. She added that she and his brother were close and that she knew how hard he had worked for the competition.<\/p>\n
Her boyfriend admitted he felt trapped either way. She shared that he told her \u201cregardless of what decision he makes, he loses,\u201d because staying home would disappoint his family and going would damage their already fragile relationship.<\/p>\n
Even with that context, she didn\u2019t want him to stay out of obligation or pressure. She said, \u201cI wanted him to make that decision himself,\u201d hoping he would recognize the emotional weight of the situation without needing it spelled out.<\/p>\n
At the same time, she felt torn because she didn\u2019t want his brother to feel unsupported. She explained that she \u201ccannot help to feel guilty,\u201d even though she knew logically the situation wasn\u2019t her fault.<\/p>\n

Her frustration deepened when a commenter suggested that if she couldn\u2019t trust him even while sharing a hotel room with his grandmother, the relationship may already be over. The commenter asked what she was \u201cworking so hard to save,\u201d noting that he was responsible for the broken trust.<\/p>\n
The poster clarified that she didn\u2019t fear cheating on the trip itself, saying, \u201cI know he isn\u2019t going to cheat on me while staying with his grandmother.\u201d For her, the issue was rooted in anxiety and the lingering hurt from the betrayal, adding that \u201cit just feels unfair that I have to feel this way.\u201d<\/p>\n
