However, they usually own the house they live in, so don’t quite get sympathy from younger folks who are struggling just as much and can’t even get on the property ladder.
(Yes there’s exceptions to both sides and would you believe it, the truth is somewhat more nuanced).
Why is it that her actions of sleeping with someone while you were broken up are on her and have consequences, but your actions of breaking up with her aren’t on you and don’t have consequences?
You guys broke up. The consequences of that are that you’re no longer together, no longer committed to each other and how long you were together before that is completely and utterly irrelevant.
If you still believe 2 weeks is “too soon”, please do tell us how long she should have waited - and please show your maths on that one because I’d like to what the formula is for length of time after a relationship is over before it’s “okay” to sleep with someone else. Is it 1 week for every year you’re together? Does the nature of the breakup affect the result? Would it have been more or less okay if it was a total stranger over someone she already knew?
Hopefully by the tone of my response you can start to appreciate how farcical what you’re suggesting is. You owe her an apology for gaslighting her into thinking she’s done anything wrong there and you need to take some self reflection to figure out why you feel the way you (hint: you’ve got insecurities to deal with but don’t feel bad or ashamed of it, we’ve all got them).
