She never loved you. If she had loved you she would have demanded more sex from you or tried to seduce you harder if she wasn't satisfied. People cheat for emotional reasons generally. There are the troglodyte types that just fuck everything they can and there are the severely damaged types that fuck around but generally cheating is for emotional fulfillment, not strictly sexual.

If you want something light and easy, go for either Sputnik Sweetheart or South of the Border, West of the Sun (both by Haruki Murakami). Both of them are about going after an unattainable relationship; both have a melancholy tone (but Border does it better).. stuck off from a theme about how we're alone because relationships can just be idealized expressions we make for ourselves (i.e. is alienation caused by an unattainable relationship or the fact we built it up so much?).

I'd only give Sputnik a 2.5/5 and Border 3.25/5...but they're probably what you're looking for. (Border gets a LOT better in the last 20-30 pages...I'd give that part a 4/5; the book is really saved by it's payoff)

Also, Border is more centred around rumination on loss whereas Sputnik is more about the manic pursuit of someone you've idealized.

Like I said though...if you're like me you won't think the book is hitting as hard as it could (but it's all about the last 30 pages or so...the book goes from a 2/5 to a 4/5 or higher).

Long distance is like having an erotic penpal. The concept of such a thing (unless you were upper class and married) wasn't even realistic until the invention of the telephone.
If neither of you are willing to make the sacrifice of being physically present in a relationship, what are you doing exactly?
Better to just be honest about your priorities and move on with life. Or just see other people and enjoy the mutual companionship that an erotic penpal offers without taking it so seriously.
If you want monogamy then you have to make sacrifices for it. Idk what you're expecting otherwise.

Long distance relationships are such horseshit. Any man who trusts a woman at a distance is a retard. Women are bad enough when you can keep an eye on them.

I would maybe trust some autistic moralfag girl not to cheat but those girls have ten billion neuroses anyway so you they usually already don't like casual sex. Any woman who enjoys sex and attention in a basic bitch way is going to cheat the first time her hormone cocktail causes her to look at or interact with another man and feel "special." Been having a rough month together like every couple does from time to time, and she got flirted with by a doctor when you're not around? Bam, she cheats, at the very least emotionally. Been having serously trouble in your personal life, and you've temporarily ceased to be charismatic and entertaining to her? She will start letting her beta orbiter "backup" male friends flirt with her a little more and talking shit about you.

Never trust a basic bitch. If you go long distance with a girl you might as well offer to prep the bull right then and there.
