Lost to another one...

So I decided to ask this girl that works close to me to be friends, show her some kindness, as she was recently cheated upon by her boyfriend. She was pretty crushed. Who wouldn't be, right? She's pretty damn cute too, like super cute.

We've been hanging out for about a month, and things were gettin pretty close rather fast, things that boyfriends and girlfriends do together... Anyway, she gets word from a friend that the cheating boyfriend tried to commit suicide and was rushed the hospital. He was found with a lame note in poem form that pretty much slammed her for being such a horrible person and how its her fault. (not even close to true)

The guy reluctantly and half-assed apologized for what he did, especially about the lame note, stil trying to pass blame onto her. This didnt make her very happy. She wanted to see if his drinking had stopped, only to find that he was stashing massive amounts of hard drugs and alcohol, lying that he had any at all.

She was crushed by this and now the dude is in rehab gettin clean.

The point of this is he:
-had sex multiple times with another woman
-lied about drug habits
-tried to commit suicide
-lied on multiple occasions

... and I'm the one who lost the girl! Yeah you guessed it, she took him back. Its not like a 5-10 year solid commitment relationship they had going, only a years worth, but damn, If I ever lied once let alone THINK about cheating, I'd be dumped and forgotten so hard and fast, no second thought about being given that kind of forgiveness...

Yeah, I get it that I deserve better than that, it just hurts because this isnt the first time its happened.

So, what would YOU do if your GF/BF cheated on you? Would you take them back in or tell them to hit the road?
