But I had slept with one of his friends...(and regret it) and he found out a few weeks ago. I didn't think he'd care as he had made it clear (or so i thought...) it was just sex. But now he's saying he DOES care but that now I've done that, the chance of us becoming more is gone..for the moment, but that in the future he may be able to forget what I did.
"gone for the moment but in the futue he "may" be able to forget what you did" *lauging here*
You can screw who you want if you're not in a committed, monogamous relationship. However; Don't expect to garner a relationship just because you sleep with someone. In fact there are a lot of men who think like this manipulative turd you were bedding till he deemed you were no longer worthy.... so choose what you do and who you do wisely. Because like you having the right to screw who you want when you want ... he also has the right to stop screwing you if he doesn't like what you've done (double standard and all ya know).
“The willingness to accept responsibility for one’s own life is the source from which self-respect springs.” ~Joan Didion
