Punctuationless OP, you don’t have a girlfriend. You have a friend with benefits who does as she pleases. If that is ok with you then carry on. ---

OK, I attempted to make this readable. Does this help? > [@](#): > > I’m in a big dilemma! My new girlfriend, with whom I have been in a very close relationship for the last month, told me two weeks into the relationship that her ex-boyfriend, with whom she was in a relationship for five years but ended five months ago, called her and said that he wants her to go to Cuba with him, since he bought the tickets five months ago while they were going out. She told him “yes,” and is being honest with me by telling me this now. She has gone for the week, and I didn’t get jealous, even though I wanted to be, sure! I have every reason to be there, sharing the same room. She told me that she ordered two separate beds. How should I act? ---

Okay , srry about the punctuations, apostrophes, commas, pronouns and verbs. My head has been not in proper frame this week ( for obvious reasons ) Well she’s back on Friday , and I do hope she touches base with me to either give me great news or shitty news! I already have my mind set on the worst case scenario, ( probably is better for me , so I can survive next few hours of wondering ) ---

But wait… what about your hot ex-girlfriend that you have been seeing? Does she know you’re just stringing her along while you wait to see if your girlfriend who has been in Cuba with her ex still wants to be with you? If you find out Cuba girl and her ex have been having great happy fun sexy times together on holiday, but she still wants to be your girlfriend, are you going to go for it? Will you believe her if she tells you nothing happened? ---

If she’s honest, no matter what, and she wants me back, I will really probably make a decision at that point It’s going to be terribly difficult decision if it does happen, , like I mentioned I never thought I’d be in this dilemma in my life. ---

Stealing from Anthony Jeselnik, “My girlfriend said 'I’m going away for two weeks, take care of the plants.” "I’m a dude. All I heard was “two weeks? Cheat on me.” ---

It’s a “two week” relationship. Enough said, IMHO of course. Years ago, I had what I thought was a budding relationship. About 2 months in, some guy from two provinces west is suddenly “visiting” her for the weekend, staying at her apartment and I don’t exist. After he’s on his way, she tries to act like nothing’s happened. She tried the “we’re just friends” line. Yeah, right. That was the end of that. This was back around 1973 so perhaps lots has changed in the “early relationship” world since then, but on that front, I kinda doubt it.
