NC'd as I need to maintain my anonymity. DP and I have been going through a tough time lately due to his ex girlfriend's constant attempts to reassert herself into his life. He's behaved like a shit over the last 18 months and has gone back to her each time things got tough, hence my struggle with their relationship and subsequent paranoia.
DP has been on an emotional rollercoaster since his divorce which has had a pretty devastating impact on the relationship he has with his DC. Consequently, he's visiting them overseas for Christmas. I am a keen advocate of him building bridges with his DC and therefore supported this trip fully.
Just prior to his trip his ex girlfriend has popped up again and I blew up at him (perhaps wrongly). She has a boyfriend whom she's introduced to her brood of children but she still contacted my DP and suggested reuniting.
DP and I have been very up and down since this and I have been very paranoid. I found out that last week he met up with his ex-girlfriend and took her back to his place and had sex with her. I feel like I've been winded and feel sick to my stomach.
For full disclosure he met up with her earlier in the year and contracted HPV which later manifested in genital warts. He claims she transmitted the virus to him. Thankfully after extensive testing I don't have it but I'm just floored that he would have sex with her. Thankfully after extensive testing (a usual STI test can't detect) I got the all clear but it was still very hard for us to deal with.
I'm exceptionally angry and feel quite vengeful. I've debated telling her boyfriend what she's been up to so that he can get tested as condoms don't protect against genital warts. I sound like I'm blaming just her, I know he's a complete shit too.
He's feeling very nervous about seeing his family and consequently sent me a text at 12am to wish me his first merry xmas. He later set his alarm at 4am his time to ask me about my gifts etc. This is apparently him showing effort. I emailed him in a moment of weakness and we have spoken as he's got a day travelliing. He's very sorry and has asked to see me.
I should not give him a second thought, nor should I see him but I'm hurting so badly and want to eradicate the pain.
How is it possible to love a man who treats women so disgustingly badly? It makes me think I must be crazy!
