Hi all.
after some advice please. I am 26 and have just separated from my partner after 8 years. Last year he just switched off, said he had depression. I did all I could but he was treating me badly in the end so I just needed to look after myself.
anyway - he is now being difficult with selling the house meaning that I am getting a solicitor involved to force a house sale.
I found out two days ago that for the last few months we were together, he had been meeting a girl online behind my back. I have evidence to prove. Receipts from a shopping centre that puts him three hours away in the area she lives before we officially split.
I am now in another relationship and did not cheat on my ex. My parents told me not to confront my ex about my new findings until the house sells, but I bumped into him this morning and couldn’t hold my tongue. I told him everything I know. Turns out my ex has heard that i am in a new relationship too.
I’ve come away feeling sick and like I should have kept silent. i just feel so angry - I don’t care about him but I feel like such a mug for letting someone hurt me those last few months while they were cheating behind my back.
do you think I did the right thing by letting him know that I now know? Or should I have played it cool? We were not married, so I’m hoping this won’t effect anything legally.
Many thanks.
