DP and I broke up in August but aside from the odd day here and there, have talked most days. It hasn't been much nice stuff, more arguments.

He told me he'd slept with 2 women. We talked about it and he gave me so much shit for sleeping with someone. I got suspicious. I asked through friends and turns out, he slept with 4 women and tried to date one. He was chasing anything in a skirt.

He did nothing but lie. He told me he didn't want anyone he was just drunk and hurt when he did it. He said he didn't speak to them after. He didn't like them. All lies, as he was chasing them all afterward. They were all his type, the opposite of me.

As soon as I confronted him he blocked me everywhere. He lives 3 hour drive away so it's not like we will see each other, so he's gone for good.

How do I get over this? It's not the fact he had sex while we were apart. It's all the lies, and the fact he was chasing anyone for sex.

I'm so hurt.
Yes we were split, but it's the lies... telling me he didn't like them or want them but he did. I've seen his messages I've spoken to the women. He lied to me for months

The whole time he was trying to work it out with me, he was chasing other women.

It's over for good

But how do I stop worrying he will meet someone? Sounds stupid but I still don't want him to want anyone else. I love him.

How do I stop feeling so shit... he was my first partner since hubby died so that makes it all worse

I stupidly believed he only wanted me and was working on himself... turns out he we just trying to get laid as much as he could. He lied about everything, every little detail.

For example saying they wanted him first (not true) that it was just sex, he didn't like them, drunken mistakes etc... every single thing he said was a lie.

And yet he gave me so much crap when I moved on and said I was worse!!!

We can't communicate as he's blocked me everywhere. He literally panicked and ran away like a child.

How do I get over this and stop thinking about him moving on?

You block and delete him on every channel he could use to contact you on.

You then seek counselling / therapy to help you process your grief from your loss and your self esteem.

Very best of luck 💐

I think you are grieving the relationship that you thought you had.

TinDogTavern · 26/01/2024 21:36

@Flickersy is right. Cut ALL contact and concentrate on healing. You can't do that while he is still in your life.

Merryoldgoat · 26/01/2024 21:56

Why are you talking every day? That’s no way to get over a relationship.

Give yourself some time to heal without him being in the picture.

Thank you. I just hate the idea of him with someone else but let's face it he already has been. We were trying to work things out, he loved me and wanted me back apparently...!

He blocked me when I confronted him and now he's unblocked me to tell me that he may have lied about what happened but he didn't lie about how he felt about them (didn't like or want them)

I blocked him. Everywhere

I just hate the thought of him finding someone new

That feeling will pass.

Bex5490 · 26/01/2024 23:07

It’s such a cliche but it’s true that it gets easier with time. You have to stop contact with him all together to start to heal and move on.

Not fun being in love with someone you really wish you weren’t…

Best of luck OP x
