I'm new to this sub, so take my thoughts with a grain of salt...

I remember what it was like around the time when I lost my virginity. The rush of hormones and the 'high' that came with anything sexual; conversing about it, the act of it, etc. What I'm trying to say is I understand his desire to tell others about it. That said, I am not trying to excuse his actions. What he did was a breach of trust in your relationship... One that I do not think is worth immediately breaking up over, but I am not you so you might consider this to be significantly larger of an issue than I would, and that is completely justifiable.

I think you should take some time to consider if this breach of trust is, at this very moment, worth breaking up over. That is to say, if you decide to forgive him for this, do you think you would be able to trust him again?

• Has he admitted when he was wrong in the past?

• Is he the type to feel remorse when making others feel bad?

• Does he regularly try to make himself feel/seem better by making others feel worse about themselves?

If you decide that you can forgive him, sit him down and have a serious conversation with him about how what he did hurt you (singular) and you (as a couple). I think that he is just too thick to realize just how much this means to you, and that a calm/serious discussion about this might be enough to get him to realize this and stop. There is a difference between a reactionary conversation, where you just realized what was happening, and a calm/collected conversation, where you had the time to process everything.

I will say this though. If you do feel like you can forgive him, have the conversation with him, and he still thinks that he has done nothing wrong... you should reevaluate your relationship with him again and seriously consider ending it. At that point he has proven that he is not willing to respect your wishes about this very sensitive issue.

Some people are worth a second, third, and/or fourth chance... Others are not. You need to act to try to figure out of your boyfriend is worthy of redemption.

Final Note: It is very possible that he cares about you and doesn't realize how much he hurt you, It is also very possible that he doesn't care and is using you for sex. I wish you the best of luck in figuring out which situation you are in.
