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

@Barchester don't be mean and judgemental. OP has had a massive shock. Plus it's absolutely none of your business how she chooses to live her life.

MerryGrinchmas1 · 18/12/2019 23:25

@barchester are you replying to the right thread?!

dottydaily · 18/12/2019 23:25

That’s just awful..look after yourself and let those who love you look after you..don’t be embarrassed..what he is doing is horrid...I would definitely send him pics to prove you know..and ask he does not come back tonite or tomorrow as you have family there...love to you xx

Betterbegoing · 18/12/2019 23:26

Seriously @Barchester ?! Don’t be fucking horrible.

Suggestionsplease123 · 18/12/2019 23:27

I would text him.

“I suggest you stay with X (girls name) tonight. My mum is here supporting me and I do not want to see you.”

welliesarefuntowear · 18/12/2019 23:28

Hi, please don't be embarrassed, because this is not your fault. I've been in your shoes fairly recently and the shock is awful. You need time and space to come to terms with this. But right now, just breathe. This is all on him not you. He will try and rewrite your history together, don't listen. This is him and him alone.

bert3400 · 18/12/2019 23:29

@Barchester...don't be a dick . The op has had a terrible shock and doesn't need stupid comments like that Angry

Hushabyelullaby · 18/12/2019 23:29

@Barchester get some manners and widen your narrow mind. OP doesn't need your judgement on top of the nightmare she's living through

Monny1 · 18/12/2019 23:31

So sorry this is happening to you. I am glad that your mum is with you and the baby.

Pardonwhat · 18/12/2019 23:31

Barchester

Do us all a favour and fuck off.

Wherearemycrayons · 18/12/2019 23:34

God I am so sorry OP I have an 8 month old and I’d be devastated in your position. I can’t believe men can be such twats Flowers

ShristmasChopper · 18/12/2019 23:35

Barchester - totally uncalled for.

OP - I'm so sorry you are going through this. I'm glad you have yr mum wirh you.
You don't need to decide tonight anything solid.
Photo or video the evidence on the iPad or even take it (and charger) with you if you go to stay at your mum's and if not consider sending it away with your mum later.

It's a known fact most people cheating will deny, lie and twist the truth to thier advantage messing with your head. Thst iPad and what's on it and could be on it in the near future will help keep some clarity for you.

There is no right or wrong way to deal with this but protect yourself first. You don't need go to rush into anything. You've had a nasty shock, give yourself time to come to terms with that right now.

Barchester

You're rude. We're not in the 1950's anymore we don't have to get married to have a child with someone. Must be hard being so perfect 😂

Queenest · 18/12/2019 23:38

Barchester - isn’t it past your bed time

This is not your fault, he’s the one that should be embarrassed - Arsewipe.

Pack a bag, stay elsewhere tonight and leave the iPad on his pillow with a FUCK YOU note.

Barchester, there's a time and a place, but probably never for you.
