Dp cheated on me very early on in our relationship for about 6 months. We didn't and still don't live together.
A year down the line and I'm still struggling with it. He has done everything he can to make amends, build trust etc but I still can't get past it.
It's a complicated situation in that he cheated on me with his ex, the mother of his ds, and maintains he (wrongly) did it, not because he wanted. To be with her, but because prior to this she was withholding access to their ds, and by going down the route of getting back with her he was able to see his son.
He has cut all contact with her, but obviously she will always be "there" iykwim which makes things even more difficult.
I want to forgive. and move on,I'm just scared it could happen again. That I didn't have a clue fir 6 months, and I don't want to be in that position again.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. I am tearing myself apart with this and damaging our relationship by constantly bringing up the past and not letting go.
