How to Forget Your Ex Girlfriend Who Cheated On You

As a man, one of the hardest things to do is to get over a girl who has cheated on you. Remember that she was the one who cheated on you and dumped you for somebody else. It hurts your ego to a great extent. Some guys call and text their exes in such a way to make them regret about their wrong doings. However, you can’t make your ex girlfriend regret cheating on you. She did so because she was already moving on from the relationship with you. She had already made her mind not to stay with you any longer. Therefore, she cheated on you.

We've been told that the way to love is pretty linear and straightforward with guys. They take us to a first date, they like us, they make plans and ask us to be exclusive within a month or two, they fall in love and pop the question. Trust me when I say that very often guys don't know how they feel about you in the long run nor do they know what they want. And often the route isn't that straightforward either. That's WHY giving the right impression in the beginning is very important.

When She Gives Too Much

Hey Doc: I’ve read your books and read your column every week. I can’t tell you how you’ve change my life! But, I had a question for you that I haven’t seen you write about before: what do you do when your girl gives too much? She cooks for me every chance she gets, she does my laundry, she makes the bed, does the dishes and cleans up my apartment. She helps me organize my calendar (I’m an atto ey with a very active case load) and even helps me organize my files. Sometimes she brings me lunch at the office. She doesn’t ask for much in return!

The day a man marries he's doing so with a full heart and the very best intentions. You'd be hard pressed to find a man who recently wed who will say that he doesn't believe his marriage will last.

That's why it's sometimes devastating for a man when he realizes that his wife is no longer invested in the marriage the way she once was.

Do Men Cheat More Than Women?

So who cheats more, men or women? This is a popular and controversial question. There aren't any exact statistics available on this, and the numbers would surely be innacurate, anyway. This is because when it comes to people admitting their cheating in polls and surveys, men tend to inflate their number of affairs and sexual partners, while women tend to hide or downplay the extent of their extramarital affairs. According to a poll conducted by WomanSavers.com, over 62% of wo
