How dishonest can one be?

Hi everyone,
I would like your opinion on something. I was going out with a guy and we were going to get married and everything but then it finished for reasons I won’t go into. Then he told me that for the last 15 years or so he had a woman with who he had a deep soul connection and every know and then they met up for sex and so on. And that she was the only woman he had ever truly loved and it was mutual. When he had had relationships, this was mutually put on hold and she never interfered with his relationships and he never did with hers. I think this is fundamentally dishonest. Not only that but it gave the lie to everything including professions of love from him to me. What do you think?
Looking back of course it now appears I had a continual rival and his heart was never in it. And of course I was fighting against something unseen. And therefore all those things which never made sense, sort of do now. He was also bisexual. I’m not a jealous person but I hate dishonesty, especially as he accused me of being with other guys which is something I have never and could not actually do. I’m pissed off to be honest because although it is over, there was I being accused of this when all the time it was him with the secret lover. He tried to explain it by just saying it was a soul connection and that they never interfered in each others relationships. But I can’t see it like that. I told him it was dishonest and he said it was all in my head.
He said yes to getting married then when the relationship was over said he had told me at the beginning he had never wanted a partner anyway and that he had told me that (of course he hadn’t). If that were the case why would he say yes to getting married?

I’d stop trying to analyse this fucked up man and get on with your life. Leave him to it . SmileFlowers xx

Stop over analysing everything.
The guy is a loser and a total and utter twat.
And now he's gaslighting you. So abusive too!!
That's all you need to know.

As above.

They'll both make each other lonely and miserable long time. If they were meant for each other it would have happened properly by now. More fool them.

Also not sure why him being bi is relevant?

dirtybadger · 17/10/2018 16:15

Long term**

You are not?? Were you born yesterday?

In an age of HIV and Aids I would say it is very relevant when it comes to having sex with a man.

And I say that as a fag hag and having worked in the Aids field.

As regards bi, I didn't mention the whole story about how he admitted that if a hot guy just propositioned him for sex he would do it even while we were together. He wouldn't initiate it but would take the offer.

He sounds an utter delight OP! Stop wasting your mental energy on this strange man. It's the lies you need to focus on but I advise you don't focus on him in any way. He's in your past. Best place for him.

Why are you wasting time thinking about an ex in this way?

Just move on and be glad of a lucky escape.

Guiltypleasures001 · 18/10/2018 18:16

Unless you tell me differently lovely
The bloke sounds like a fantasist
I assume you had proof of this other woman

And his bi story I feel similar about
It doesn't really ring true

Sarah920 · 18/10/2018 18:25

I swapped the genders to get a balanced view of course.
Thanks

Oh yes I received pictures and freely given statements re "fantasy guy". Bi is not a story it was her essence, freely admitted.

Sounds like he's trying to hurt you because the relationship has ended - "I never loved you /wanted a relationship anyway!" kind of thing.

And "all along I was cheating on you".

Yeah, he wants to hurt and devalue you, to show you you aren't anything much.

I think he's prostesting too much, personally. Whatever, knock it and him on the head and don't look back.

STI check ASAP

Guiltypleasures001 · 19/10/2018 12:18

He or she is a potential long term mind fuck for you, none of it is either normal or necessary in a mutually beneficial relationship.

There's nothing good for you in any of this shit storm op, don't get involved in the drama and stay away.
