Hello all. Although I am not a mum, I have turned to this site to try and relate to something similar. Here is my story and honesty is welcomed;

-I have been with my partner (or should I say ex) on and off for 2 years. During the first year of our relationship I found out numerous things such as he was on adult work, dating apps, taking girls out for drinks etc which concluded in us breaking up several times.

Stupid me gave him chance after chance as I was in love. The next year of our relationship was unrecognizable. He finally told me that he loved me and was expressing his emotions. I met his family, we went on holiday together and was talking seriously about our future.

I still alway had doubt about him as I know he broke up with his last girlfriend because he cheated on her. We were at the happiest that we ever were when the doubt in my mind took over. I set up a fake number pretending I was a girl which then resulting in him telling me that he had slept with someone else a couple of months back. I was and still am heartbroken. I stupidly saw him on Friday and ending up falling asleep at his house. This is when he went through my phone and found out that it was me who sent the texts.

He is now fuming at me and says that we are as bad as each other and that I lied and deceived him. I can understand why hes angry but he has made me feel so bad that instead of being upset about being cheated on I am here hating myself and feel like I have ruined my own happiness Sad

Some good advice for you on here OP. I know it's hard to finish with someone you love but long term he would have destroyed the love in you because of his cheating and the lack of trust that it created......the only problem with waiting for the love to "die" is all the wasted years in between while you wait for it to happen.

This man is not and never will be monogamous.

If monogamy is a requirement for you, you need to look elsewhere.

If people were more open and honest and said upfront "Hey I will never be sexually exclusive to you because I own my sexuality, not my partners" then the world would be a lot better place.

Thanks again for all of your responses. I had no contact with him yesterday and am not planning on contacting him again. Had a bit of a melt down last night and cried my eyes out. Do things ever get easier?

It will get better OP. It takes time but it will.

That’s a good start OP.

Be kind to yourself. Take a long bath, pamper yourself a bit etc

Try and eat well.

Take it day by day and you’ll get there Flowers

If no one has mentioned it you need to add a trip to a STI clinic or top of a therapist.

You know he has been messing around. You don't know haw many times or how safe he has been.

DarthMaiden- A hot bubble bath is in order tonight. Also looking at yoga classes haha

Magoria- I went to the clinic the next day. Waiting back for my results. If he has given me anything I do not know how I am going to react Angry

Yes they do. You will look back one day and cringe when you think of him and possibly be annoyed at yourself for putting up with his BS. Well, I know I do anyway. You are worth soooo much more than this.
