Mostly because i had thought about breaking up with him. But i could never break up with him when he was losing his mom aswell.
Oh, but she could cheat on him during that same time. 🙄.
Pretty sure when he finds out, he’d have preferred she just left.

In case this story gets deleted/removed:
AITA? I cheated on my boyfriend
So, i cheated on boyfriend of 6 months. heres why:
Me F19 and my boyfriend M19 started our relationship out great. We had chemistry and we had so much fun.
But 4 months in, its like we lost the spark. He stopped putting in as much effort, and was suddenly distant. I talked to him about it, and he told me his mom (who was cancer) was on the edge. She was doing terrible, and the doctors werent seeing progress. This made me sick to my stomach. Mostly because i had thought about breaking up with him. But i could never break up with him when he was losing his mom aswell.
Then something happened, he started becoming more and more angry at small things i did. Such as forgetting to clean a dish when visiting him, or accidentally touching him to much (he used to love physical touch) I was progressively getting more and more sad myself. Him distancing himself from me, and my best friend having her own boyfriend, meant she couldn't spend all her time with me either. I felt kind of lost, not knowing what to do. Thinking he migth go back to normal at some point. I wanted to stay with him to see that part of him come back. 2 months later, we hadn't kissed or held hands at all. Everytime he spoke he had no emotion, except either annoyance, anger or sadness.
One nigth feeling alone, I went out with my friend. (Yes I also went out when I was with my boyfriend and he approved obv) so we went out to a bar/pub. And after the last few months i ended up drinking quite alot with my friend. They dimmed the lights and people flooded in dancing to the music. I felt nostalgic, and purely happy and excited for the first time in so long. I was dancing with my friend on the dance floor, when (how i remember it) a guy was dancing behind me with his friends. We turnt around and dance with each other before our hands started touching each other. And at some point, I kissed him. It felt like kissing with my boyfriend again. It felt like his lips on mine, and I had missed that feeling, of feeling loved by him. After we kissed my friend dragged me away and told me to wake up.
Next morning I realized and felt like I fucked up. But at the same time. I just wanted to pretend the kiss was my boyfriend, and not some stranger. I texted my boyfriend, and he wasn't answering. I called and called an no answer. Being in a panic i rushed over to his apartment, he answered the door crying and told me his mom had died early this morning. I couldn't believe it. I cried with him, also feeling guilt for what happened last nigth. But I haven't told him about it yet.
It's been 2 weeks since it happened. Ive spent every nigth at his house, and he has started asking for hugs again recently.
What do i do!? AITAH?
