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

My EXP did something similar when my DD was a few months old and also just before Xmas, it's horrible at anytime but at this time of year it just feels worse.

Hope you are ok op Thanks

Your baby is so lucky to have such a caring, intelligent and dignified mother.
My thoughts are with you this evening . You did the very best you could do, OP. Keep your head held high. Thank heavens you have such a lovely supportive mum. Take care.

CherryPlum · 19/12/2019 21:48

I am so sorry OP, what a total bastard. Just remember that you have done everything right, you've kept your dignity, you've done all the right things for your baby boy who will one day be very very proud of you.

Ms82 · 19/12/2019 22:00

Couldn't just read and run, so sorry you are going through this at such a vulnerable time, your babies first Christmas. You have acted with absolute diginity and class, which is far more than him. Please take your time to work out how you feel and what is best for you. Don't be embarrassed you have done nothing wrong! Please lean on everyone you can for support. Thinking of you xx

LadyAllegraImelda · 19/12/2019 23:10

So glad you have your Mum OP, stay strong even when your anger dies down. You are setting a great example to all the people on here currently putting up with this shit.

Flowers and hugs.

Grumpos · 19/12/2019 23:11

Hope you’re ok OP.
An ex cheated on me - we didn’t have children but we were actively trying.
I reacted in a somewhat similar way, due to logistics and our lifestyle I wasn’t able to go in all guns blazing and looking back once it was all over and done with, I was so glad.

I am so glad I never went full banshee mode, cutting up clothes, making public statements on social media etc. In fact I did the total opposite- I cut him off, I changed my life, I gave him nothing more from the day I found out. I think that made it worse for him, he couldn’t even write me off as psycho or overreactive etc.

I am so glad I never got drunk and slated him and the OW on Facebook- due to their jobs I could have made it very difficult.

Wishing you all the strength in the world to get through this horrible time, you will though, you’ll come out the other side stronger, wiser and with more self love than you’d think. Just keep knowing your worth. Flowers

BlueSuffragette · 19/12/2019 23:19

You are one classy lady and he is one hell of a shit bag. Don't ever think about going back.

EveryFlightBeginsWithAFall · 19/12/2019 23:30

This is so sad, what a horrible bastard

I wish I'd had your strength op, I would have saved myself 18 months of misery .

ShristmasChopper · 20/12/2019 00:59

Hope you are coping ok.

I bet he had a nasty shock when he woke up hungover and realising it was game over!! I hope it's not him hard too. I bet the clever dick thought he had his double life all sussed out!
