Omg, I don’t know what to do. My boyfriend has gone out on a work do. I kept hearing a pinging coming from his office so I went in to mute whatever device it was and it was his iPad. Went to mute it and saw the message ‘can’t wait babe’ on the home screen. Obviously I opened it and have now found hundreds of messages between him and another girl. No idea who she is. Haven’t even looked into that yet. Just read the messages. He says he loves her. I have an 8 month old baby I feel sick please what shall I do from here? He’s just text me saying he misses me and I can see on the iPad he’s text her saying he misses her

Glad you have your mum. Good luck Op Flowers

Fedupofitnow123 · 19/12/2019 06:27

I'm so glad you have your mum, try and rest and take it easy

PooWillyBumBum · 19/12/2019 06:29

Well done to you and your mum.

You have your lovely mum and your lovely baby. You’re not alone, and things will be okay (even if it doesn’t feel like it now).

MerchantOfVenom · 19/12/2019 06:29

Well done. You're a class act. Thanks

Unlike him or her.

Igmum · 19/12/2019 06:30

💐 to you and your mum OP. You're being marvelous. Love and hugs to you both

44PumpLane · 19/12/2019 06:32

Well done OP. You've handled things beautifully.

You must be incredibly upset but well done.

nzeire · 19/12/2019 06:32

My god, how awful for you. Thank goodness for your mum.

As for embarrassment, it’s not you who should be feeling that

Keep on keeping on xxxx

oatmilk4breakfast · 19/12/2019 06:34

So sorry for you - whet am idiot your partner has been! Hope he realised what he’s lost. Good luck and well done

PlatoAteMySnozcumber · 19/12/2019 06:38

What a horrible evening, I’m sorry this happened to you. It’s better he has shown his true colours sooner rather than later, you can rid yourself of him and establish your routine with just you and the baby. It seems a shock and almost impossible right now but you can do this and it will all be okay. What a tosser. Stay strong, you deserve better.

Pollyhops · 19/12/2019 06:39

You did the right thing. What a bastard. 💐💐💐💐

OhWellThatsJustGreat · 19/12/2019 06:40

OP, well done, you are so strong and an amazing inspiration, your son is so lucky to have you and you're so much better with your mum she is your rock right now and don't be afraid to lean on her and vent to us as much as you need to.

Good luck with everything and here's to a happy future for you and your baby

puds11 · 19/12/2019 06:45

Well done OP. I think that is the most dignified way I’ve ever heard of someone leaving. Kudos, it’s a difficult time to keep a level head but you have done it amazingly!

ivykaty44 · 19/12/2019 06:48

Hope that you can get some sleep & if not do try and rest

Very slowly you will be able to piece your life back together, whatever you choose to do.

IAmNotAWitch · 19/12/2019 06:50

What is your financial situation? Is your cash in joint accounts etc? If so you need to sort that out asap.

ivykaty44 · 19/12/2019 06:50

Pollyhops

I was told a long time ago, cheating males aren’t bastards- you need to be a man to be a bastard & cheats definitely don’t fit that category, pond life, aresholes, shits but certainly not bastards

puds11 · 19/12/2019 06:50

@ivykaty44 I think you’ve posted to the wrong thread

Nicecupofcoco · 19/12/2019 06:51

Op you've handled this amazingly well. You certainly shouldn't be embarrassed! Far from it! This is all his doing!
I'm glad you and baby are with your mum now. Hope you manage a few hours sleep. I know it doesn't seem this way now, but you will be a thousand times happier in the long run!

puds11 · 19/12/2019 06:52

@ivykaty44 Blush ignore that. I thought I’d changed threads, sorry.

Sorry for the interruption BlushBlush

ivykaty44 · 19/12/2019 06:52

Any joint bank accounts can be frozen ASAP
If op isn’t working the claim online for UC ASAP
Inform council tax you’ve moved out so your not liable if he stops paying

ivykaty44 · 19/12/2019 06:54

@puds11 😊☺️🤣

edgewater · 19/12/2019 06:55

You’ve done great OP. Stay calm. Try and get some sleep.
