This scum-bag I know had an affair with a work colleague whilst he was in a relationship. The affair ended and he carried on, stringing his poor girlfriend along. He says he stayed with her cos the rent was cheap - he dumped her 8 years later because he was having erectile dysfunction issues and had met someone else that he wanted to shag.
The poor woman was devastated when he left, she had given him her best years and at 48 was suddenly single again.
I feel like she should know what an absolute creep he is, maybe it'll help her to move on - she hasn't met anyone since and still believes he was her 'soulmate'.
I can't bear the fact that she was deceived for so many years and doesn't know the truth - should I tell her?
He was far too much of a coward to confess and face the consequences of his actions & I think he should be punished.
If he was dumb enough to tell a random person like myself then he should have known that it was going to get back to her eventually as we all work in the same industry.
If it is at all relevant, this break-up happened 10 years ago. And I'll drop her an anonymous email/letter so that it doesn't come back to me.
If I was her, I'd want to know even though it'll reopen old wounds.
