Actually, I'm gonna be different and thank you for the apology, ortho. I was actually offended. I thought a long time about how to respond to the sociopath comment, but since you apologized, I won't go into it. And you are completely forgiven based on your post.
To add another point of view, I will say, that in my case, the betrayal didn't come from him having a girlfriend or moving on. I was happy for that. My issue comes from someone I considered a friend, someone I trusted so much that I gave him a key to my apt, lied to me. Made me into something I wouldn't have been (the other woman, the one he cheated with) given the choice. In our entire history, when I was with someone else, even just a first date, I let him know. I expected the same respect from him. It's something I won't tolerate from anyone that I consider a friend. It takes a lot for me to open that much because of the betrayals I have lived through. It's why I make a distinction between sex and making love. I have had a lot of sex, but only made love to one person.
