I read this OP aloud to my gf. It was highly amusing. But I had to take a **giant** breath first. šŸ†’ ---

Iā€™m pretty sure the OP is going to die alone and unloved. Man-up, dude. Sheā€™s gone and youā€™ll never find anyone else. Darkness and cold are your fate from now through eternity. Sucks to be you. ---

Sheā€™s going to cheat on you. But, I suspect she will be honest about it when she gets back. Just be prepared. Two beds prevents nothing. More likely it just gives them a dry bed to sleep in. ---

It sounds like she is grown-up enough to travel with a companion that she is not necessarily having sex with. That is not at all uncommon for traveling companions, Iā€™ve done it many times. The arrangements were made for the trip before she even knew you. She is free to do as she pleases, this is an opportunity she wants to fulfill, for a valuable life experience, and she thinks you are mature enough to accept this arrangement, and when she gets back you guys can get on with your lives according to how the wind blows thenā€¦ ---

Darkness and cold are your fate from now through eternity. Sucks to be you. Did you miss the update? While the girlfriend is in Cuba possibly-but-not-definitely banging her ex, the OP has hooked back up with HIS ex. He hasnā€™t told the previously-ex that he is now banging about his actual current girlfriend (the one in Cuba), as he wants to wait to bring the topic up until the girlfriend returns and (possibly) confesses to her cheating ways. Then heā€™ll decide if he wants to stay with girlfriend (if she didnā€™t bang her ex while on vacation) or with previously-ex (if she did bang her ex while on vacation). ---
