Cheated again

Hi I'm new to this so please bear with me
I've been married for 3 years and we dated for a year before that my husband has a promiscuous past but when we met he stopped everything even going out without me even expecting it let alone asking him I was 20 and he (23) was my first boyfriend
My friends and his friends used to hang out as a group and my ex friend added him on Snapchat used to message him generally not knowing he's sitting next to me sending kiss emojis and drawing Willie's and stuff on Snapchat silly things and he would save them and show them to me where as she would save everything else but not her kissie emojis so I stopped speaking to her and thought he was honest as he showed me things I wouldn't have known about otherwise fast forward 1 year after marriage she gets in contact with me saying don't know why you've cut me out etc and then told me 3 weeks before me and him got married he kissed her and she said she rejected him begged her not to tell me when I found out I was heartbroken was very close to ending it he convinced me to make it work and we did he was always transparent with his phone social media gave me passwords even before he kissed her which because I had trust issues I would always check and never found anything

It took me about 2 years to really stop thinking about that often and being hurt and trusting him, February this year and I'm 8 month pregnant (after losing a baby in April last year due to sepsis and ending up in icu)
And we have a bug argument over something petty and he leaves the house takes his clothes and goes to stay with a friend of his next day I'm getting a horrible gut feeling and also had a dream about him cheating brushed it off as insecurity and thought he just needs to cool down and he'll come home and apologise that feeling didn't go away all day so I logged into his social media didn't find anything until I got to Snapchat and saw a message from a woman and location saved I called him and asked him whose that woman he started denying and locked me out of sc by changing password I already screnshotted so added her off my own account and messaged her she told me they had just started talking that day off his friends badoo account and it was all sex talk she sent me screenshots and that he added her on sc and video chatted and he sent a dick pik after he came home finally admitted when confronted with proof only found out weeks after daughter was born that she was naked in the bath him asking to see her bits she showed her boobs and talking about what they'd do to each other then when call ended he sent the pik after that they didn't speak a few hours later is when I checked his sc.
Again he's begging for forgiveness but ever since we've been up and down he's trying his best promised it was the once will never happen again etc she was a older woman late 30s and now I'm in pieces so insecure and hurt again crying my eyes and snapping at him constantly I need some advice on how to move forward I really don't want to be a single mum to newborn and don't want her to have a broken home like the one I've come from but I can't seem to get over this

What a pig!

I know this is hard and you don't have to make any decisions right how, but do have a think about whether you could ever be happy with a man that you cannot trust. And when you're ready, base your next moves on that.

You can do SO much better than a man who cheats.

Please don't worry about your little one. It is far better for her to grow up with parents who are apart but happy, than to live with parents who are together and miserable.

Also try and reach out to your friends/family for their support.

I wouldn't waste my time with him. X

GingerbreadBiscuits00 · 16/05/2020 01:40

Get rid!! Of course it will happen again. He will know you will just forgive him if you find out. He's shown how much you and your daughter mean to him. Not as much as sexting some random.

BetsyBigNose · 16/05/2020 04:04

Trust is the absolute minimum requirement in a successful marriage and he is doing nothing but break yours.

You are still young and he is the only man you've ever had a relationship with, so I suspect you're accepting such poor treatment from him as you don't have a decent example of how a healthy relationship should look and perhaps (and I am making a guess here), you may not feel as if there is anyone else out there for you - since he is the only boyfriend you've ever had?

In your shoes, I think it's got to be worth one final attempt at saving and repairing your marriage and to do this, you need to bare your emotions over his treatment of you and have a real, honest (from both sides) and open conversation about what's going wrong and what you can both do to fix it - assuming that you both want to stay married?

I would give the relationship one last chance and would commit to working really hard on rebuilding the trust between you - but of course this can only work if he is willing to do the same. It may well be a painful process, but if you still love him and feel that your marriage is salvageable and is worth saving, then give it your all - good luck, I hope you can get through to him and that he understands that the time to fix things is now - and if he doesn't put the effort in, then he is going to lose you.

Also - Snapchat; is he a teenager or am I just terribly out of touch?!

If you have him back he will do it again.
You are so much better off without him, even though it doesn't feel that way right now. Take care.

Hagbeth · 16/05/2020 07:31

Thank you. This post made me decide to leave Mumsnet. This reads like it’s about a group of five year olds. Leave this group of brainless ducks and and start spending your time with people that are more intelligent than the average snail. I’m doing the same! Good luck!

Shinjirarenai · 16/05/2020 10:38

Well said Hagbeth.

It's ridiculous.

raspberryk · 16/05/2020 10:46

Trust me when I say this as I speak from experience.

You will be better off a lone parent to a newborn, than staying married to a multiple time cheat and a liar. I've been there. I stupidly stayed til I was 27 and had 2 kids not just the 1, and I feel like I gave him the best years of my life. Please don't carry on in the relationship.

MegaClutterSlut · 16/05/2020 11:06

It's going to happen again and by you putting up with it your showing your daughter it's ok for men to treat you like shit. He knew he risked losing you and your dd and he still done it because he couldn't give a shit. He's only sorry he got caught. You will forever be walking on egg shells imo, get rid, you and your daughter deserve better

BlueSuffragette · 16/05/2020 14:29

OP he's a cheat, he'll do it again. Divorce him and build a life for you and your child.
