Girlfriend kissed her ex-boyfriend

Yeah, it'd be different if she didn't kiss back, didn't have feelings, didn't keep the meeting a secret, and he wasn't her ex but that's not the case here. Her telling you doesn't change any of that. My rule of thumb for relationships is that if you're in a monogamous relationship and you're willing to cheat or are interested in someone else, don't stay in the relationship. It's just out of respect for the person you're with.

Fucking also involves feelings.
Lol

Guess we're all robots

Some fucking is solely about getting off with both parties not feeling anything otherwise.
 
I think the run to "dump them" in all of these threads is telling though. A kiss is something some people can move past. My advice would be to have a long talk with her and see where the feelings are coming from. Not all issues need to be resolved with a dump. Plus there is always something to learn by getting her to explain where he might be lacking that's making her seek attention and let it happen elsewhere.

What is it telling of exactly?

No, but sometimes people can take care of their sexual urges without any love or that non sense. Also, I'm sure that prostitutes have so many feelings towards all of their clients. Get out of her with this fallacy.

That a lot of people on here are untrusting, don't know much about relationships, or got burned once and expect the same to always happen.
 
Emotional fidelity is more important to health imo. Both are important but if you don't even feel or respect the person you're with, it's just nonstop stress. And that affects the sexual too.

How do you define emotional fidelity, though? The line between "friend" and "crush" is easily blurred.
 
I don't understand the "at first" bit. I've not read anything in the OP or subsequent posts about her rejecting the advances of the ex. Have I missed something?

Presumably, he wanted to fuck her and she said no. She chose not to go any father, and then admitted to her boyfriend what happened.
 
What do you mean by this?

I think it's pretty simple. "My ex is back in the picture and I never had proper closure with him" is steps above "my ex just moved in and kissed me, by they way I've been in contact with him recently."

Also catching feels for an ex 4 years into a new relationship is bad news.

Eh, I don't agree with the last sentence. That's sounds like straight up victim blaming. It shouldn't take an indiscretion for her to tell him what he's lacking. She should have been forthright and honest from the get go and told him what he is doing wrong in the relationship. Communications is key here.

We all can't be mind readers.
 
Probably due to the fact that in some places a goomah or side fling is common. The real threat to marital standing is feelings not fucking.

Would you be okay if your spouse fucked somebody else? I'm not being rhetorical, I'm just curious. I would be equally devastated if my spouse told me she was in love with somebody else as I would if she had an affair.

I don't think Devolution is denying that, but as things stand it'd still be beneficial to both parties.

I wonder if she feels anything for him, though. It seems like he just went in for the kiss and she kissed him back. I doubt she was thinking about any kind of future she could have with the ex.

I didn't say it was his fault but he can find out her reasons and learn either way. Some people are just terrible at communicating what they want. He can head this off at the pass with a new girlfriend.

I'd be more devastated by an act of indiscretion motivated by love than lust.

If you're in a monogamous relationship, either kind of cheating is your partner's way of saying that they don't find you adequate. Either they want to fuck somebody more than you, or they want to be with somebody more than you.

This is where I completely disagree. If a guy moved in for a kiss on me that I didn't want he's getting pushed away.

I frankly disagree. There is being with someone because they're hot and there is being with someone because they provide some kind of emotional support I don't. The latter is much more of a problem.

If we had set rules for an open relationship? Yes, of course she could fuck someone (question not to me but anyone answering should be good for you). It goes both ways, if thats the rules we set then either of us could go elsewhere for sexual urges, sometimes new skin is really all you need. The emotional attachments are the real important part of a relationship.

I see what you're saying and I agree.

This still sounds like you think it was the OP's fault, at least in some part. Maybe not your intention, but that's how it comes out.

I don't think she has feelings for him, especially given how she said she will never see him again.

How does it show that? You're an untrusting person if you get cheated on? I think you're reading way too deep into it if that's all you get from people saying dump her.
