Some time ago, I got heavily involved with a childhood friend of mine and her relationship that ended in me cheating with her ex-fiancee. Fast foward 4 years later, I still wish I could take it all back. I admitted my wrongdoings and deeply regret doing what I did.

She only talks to me briefly if we happen to run into each other. Rarely, she will answer my texts.
I don't talk on phone.

I mailed her a Valentine's Day card last week.... Not even a response.

She has blocked blocked me on FB. Although shes "friends" with members of my own family which stings and hurts.

The whole irony of this is he had also cheated on her with her sister. And her and the sister are still friends talking to each other

However, one should always make these decisions with the correct facts. I am no longer friends with my former best friend, because she thinks her husband at the time, slept with me. Which never happened. Not even a little minor incident. I declined his passes at me each and every time he tried something. They divorced and she is now with my ex husband.

No. I may be able to control myself and calmly kick them out of my life, but I would have some bad thoughts.

I was friends with 1 girl for over 5 years. But as we hung out more, one-on-one, I started seeing a bad side to her, so I dropped her and haven't spoken to her in a year. So you can be sure I wouldn't forgive a "friend" messing with my fiance.

Someone supposed to be my friend, an extension of my family, and they start fooling around with a man I was serious about. And a man who's supposed to love me doesn't love me enough not to mess around with other women. In that case, both showed a lack of respect, care and empathy for me in face of their own pleasure.

I would just thank my then ex friend that showed me I was with a cheater. But I would be done with them both.

Stings and hurts?! Are you for real? I guess what YOU did to HER didn't hurt at all?

There is no irony here, other than you trying to make yourself look better by pointing out HIS other mistakes. If you were really sorry about what you did, that wouldn't come up at all.

Why in the world would you send her a Valentine's Day Card when you screwed her over? I'd use that card as kindling in my fireplace, if I didn't rip it up the minute I saw it was from a howewrecking former friend. I'd feel the same way if it was my sister, but many people think "blood is thicker than water". I'm not one of them.

I know I hurt her, Im not denying that.

She must be one of those people that think "blood is thicker than water". It just bugs me that her sister got involved with him as well and they seem to get along when I see them

*shrugs* comes with the territory of being a homewrecker.

It's the day of couples and love and romance. You're the reason she doesn't have a Valentine.
