Been seeing a guy. Only a month in and seeing each other here and there, so no major investment thus far.
We've been getting to know each other. He is divorced with 2 children. I have never been married and do not have children.
We got talking about cheating (tangent from a celebrity cheating scandal we were talking about). He told me he cheated, to be with his ex-wife. They each had partners when they met - and they went on to have an affair with each other. They then went 'public' and later got married. Marriage broke down - which he said wasn't for cheating reasons (but I can't imagine a relationship built on cheating would be a healthy and long-standing one).
He said the cheating was awful and caused immense pain to others etc... (shocker!) and that when they had children, that's when the marriage broke down.
They co-parent 'well' apparently, but I don't know enough at this point.
The thing is, I just don't trust him. I suppose that's easy to say right now as I just found this about 12 hour ago out, but still. Cheating goes against my values. He said he wanted to tell me the truth upfront and that he'd never do it again - and it changed him as a person. But cheaters aren't known for their honesty.
As I am not quite invested yet and certainly not attached, would it just be best to walk away?
I have NEVER cheated and never would. I just couldn't ever do it. Has anyone had an experience like this? How did it pan out?
