    I remember being young. I was 16 when I dated my first boyfriend, and he dumped me after 8 months. I was in love with him (so I thought) and I was so devastated when he dumped me that I began to plan on committing suícíde after he dumped me. I was THAT convinced we would be together forever (he was 15. tf was I thinking, lol.) I was a wreck for a while. Young love can be brutal. But, of course, most us go through something similar, and while we do pine and suffer and carry a torch for a while, we get over it. We don't use other people as a living RealDoll while imagining our exes during intimacy. We don't hold that torch for EIGHT YEARS and then take the first opportunity to go see (and bone) the ex that dumped us almost a DECADE ago. I can understand OP's girlfriend's pain in the beginning, but her subsequent actions, behavior, and justifications are abhorrent and monstrous. I hope OP is doing okay. Eff that cheating bítch!
