<human>: I feel mildly stupid even asking this question, but yesterday my boyfriend confessed that he went out to coffee with a girl he met at a party the night before. At coffee, he told the girl about me and she was confused, wondering why he invited her to coffee. This coffee date was initiated by him, although she gave him her number.

My boyfriend did apologize to me and say he was in the wrong, but then immediately transitioned into saying he doesn't know what is wrong with him, he is so lonely, so on and so forth. I stopped him, and told him that while I appreciated his honesty and apology, moving on to talk about his own issues so soon doesn't allow me to process the information he just presented. I left shortly after.

In thinking about this situation, I'm left bewildered. Reddit, would you define this as cheating? If so, what would your response be? I care about him a lot, but am having a hard time getting through this.

Summarize the given text in a few sentences.
<bot>: Boyfriend went out to coffee with girl he met at party. Was honest and apologized. Motivation appears to be loneliness. Is this cheating?
