If so how did you guys handle it and did you stay together?
"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
Ever been cheated on in a LTR?

"The Coffee Shop Girl You Never Spoke To"
You've replayed it a hundred times. She stood three feet away, scrolling her phone. You had an opening. You composed the perfect line — after she was gone.
For all you know, she's married now. To some guy who said something. Anything.
Openers are cheap. Almost any sentence works when it's delivered within three seconds. The expensive part is the standing there, drafting and deleting, while the window quietly closes.
The "22 Rules" stripped out my hesitation. What to open with, how to keep it alive, and the one habit that costs guys more women than anything else: waiting for perfect.

Never tollerate it. No matter what the excuse.
Move on to better things.
There's no worse blight on a man than the one who stays with a chick that's cheated on him.

Dont stay together. Let her feel like ****, use her and cheat with her best friend.
And the worst thing in the world you can do is stay with her if it happens. Although it may seem like you have the upper hand, she actually has you by the balls because she knows if she can get away with cheating then she can get away with anything.
"You'll Never Feel READY to Walk Over"
Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

None of you belive in a 2nd chance?
Here is a bit more of the story.
A while back, 4-5 months or so when we broke up for a few weeks I got a bj from her best friend. We finaly told her, which was the hardest thing I have ever done. And I can't imagne her telling me about her cheating was much easyer. She was able to get over what I did, even though we were not going out, it's still kinda wrong. That girl was also my brothers ex.
