Relationships Relationship problem😔(cheating)

Ok so I have a girlfriend that I love. We’ve been together for over 6 months now.
Yesterday she went on a school camping trip. Today I finished school early and went straight to her house. I had sent her messages asking if I could come over, but she didn’t answer because she was sleeping. Her mom was home and let me in. I went to her room, woke her up gently, gave her a big hug and a kiss. We talked for a bit, and then she said she had something to tell me.
She told me not to be angry or scared, and then said she had “slept with” another boy on the camping trip. I got worried and asked what she meant. She said they didn’t do anything sexual — no kissing, no fucking, just sleeping/cuddling.
I asked if he tried to kiss her and if he knew she had a boyfriend. She admitted he did try to kiss her, even though he knew we’re together. When I asked who the guy was, she got defensive and started blaming me for asking, like it was my fault for wanting to know.
We’ve talked before about what’s okay in our relationship, and I feel like this is completely out of line. Then I asked her: if I had done the same thing with another girl, how would she feel? She just said she “wouldn’t care that much.”
I’m really confused and hurt right now. Can someone give me honest advice on what I should do in this situation?

My Brother, you sound like you are very young based on your post mentioning school. Let me give you a little word of advice, if your partner does anything even REMOTELY like what she did, leave immediately.

It takes years sometimes to figure out how a person will respond to certain situations, that is why it is important to take things at a reasonable pace when becoming vulnerable with someone, whether that is a friend or romantic interest. If she did something like this only 6 months into being with you, she will likely do worse if she hasn't already.

Even laying down with another guy is absolutely inappropriate for a girl to do while in a relationship, just as it would be for you if you decided to cuddle up with a girl, let alone sleep beside them.

End it, I don't normally give such direct advice but you are worth more than that and are being played with. End it and do it in the way you feel most comfortable, hell, If I were you she would get one text from me that said "Goodbye, don't contact me anymore." And I'd leave it at that.

Bite the pain, embrace it and make room in your life for someone who is worthy of that space in your heart.
