Staying with him after he sexted another woman

My bf and I have been together a year and a half, I love him and he loves me, we’ve been on holidays together and have the best times together. Recently I found out he had been sexting another woman briefly. I am sad, he accepted that he was wrong and says he has no idea why he did it, he wants to stay together and so do I. My friends say they’d never stay with a man who cheats. He says he won’t do it again. I love him too much and want to be with him forever to leave him, I don’t think I’ll ever meet a man who I love like him.

Yes he’s booked it

Sigh. No he hasn't.

You're very foolish OP. He'll do it again.

I know she is mentally ill cos she stresses him out and upsets him everyday, apparently she is like that too always upset by him, for no reason. He says they haven’t slept together in years and he’s going to get help for what he did, he is going to therapy so he doesn’t do it again.

Edited

She "stresses him out and upsets him" but he's happy to sext with her. Can't be that stressed then can he! Open your eyes.

OP - let's say she is mentally ill.

Why on earth do you want to be with a predatory man who sexts vulnerable women who are not in their right mind? That's awful

And if she is mentally unwell, WHY hasn't he applied for full custody? Having a parent with a mental illness is so damaging for the child.

He is taking advantage of a vulnerable, mentally ill woman to get orgasms and has no care whatsoever for the wellbeing of his child.

Is this honesty the type of man you want to be in a relationship with? He sounds awful.

PS - Oh and I very much doubt his ex is mentally ill. I'm sure he's a liar and a cheat instead. But if you insist on believing his lies, he's still awful

It was his ex. He says she’s mentally unwell and he was stupid, although admits it was his fault as he said he was leading her on as she didn’t know he didn’t tell her he was in a relationship with me still.

Oh the old 'mentally unwell' card....yes, must sext her if she's mentally unwell, brilliant excuse 🤣 wft?!?

Oh you know that she's mentally do you? With your attitude you deserve everything you get. Therapy my arse!

Do you have any evidence for this or are you just believing what he’s told you?

The fact that he’s been sexting her when he’s supposed to be faithful to you shows that he is not always honest. Stop believing what he says and start believing what you see him do.

I truly think he is besotted with me - we spend so much time together and he said he sees me in his life for a long long time. It was just sex with her, I know for a fact he doesn’t love her - that’s why I am willing to let it slide. I just cant let go of him after all our happy times together - I’m involved in his child’s life too.

You are a fool.

Ignore the words coming out of his mouth, he's showing you the type of person that he is.

You're kidding yourself.
