yeah women are pretty crazy and illogical and i've learned to simplify things by lying.
like sarah my ex? when we broke up she hated claire (current gf) (we all know each other from college) because she was convinced that claire stole me away from her. but had i told her the truth, she would still hate claire.
it wasn't the case. + i'm not a fan of sneaking around and cheating. but on the other hand, my relationship with sarah had long run its course and both of us had been just going through the motions for monthes. it was painful.
claire came along and we both felt something pretty strong. so i left sarah to see if there was something with claire. can i tell a sarah that was the reason i left her? NO! experience has taught me that when you tell girls truths like that, they go crazy and will accuse you of being a wondering eye and immoral... and they end up hating you.
so instead i told her i needed a break from the relationship due to work and that i'm probably not coming back. then i later told her i meet claire after we broke up. oops, i guess it was just good timing. problem solved.

I just have to chime in here: you either have the greatest girlfriend ever, or she's just bidding her time until she goes Crazy-Woman on you and decides to punish you forever.
For your sake, I hope it's the first one.
By the way, I have to mention that you deserve a lot of kudos for your handling of this situation. I'll be the first to admit that my initial reaction in reading this thread was like most other folks: kick her free-loading ass to the curb. While I certainly respect the people need a helping hand from time to time, I've been taken advantage of enough that I find it very hard to envision doing what you did....
