Married man?

So the guy I mentioned in my last post “WhatsApp” turns out he’s married. He’s tried to deny it, says it’s “complicated” and they are “separated but living together for their kid” she has all her profile pictures as them both.

Why are guys such dicks, why can’t they be honest.

@misskiki69 😂😂 those errors made me laugh. I'll have a look at that twitter account

@YankeeDad that's such a funny film. I might watch it.

How you doing op x

@summersoonplease

I'm doing well (I think). I've not heard any more from his wife. I had a few wobbles and tears during the week.

This weekend will be the test for me. I've made lots of plans to be with friends.

I still feel heartbroken but I just keep reminding myself that it was the right thing to do and it's his loss. I don't need someone like that

😘 thank you for asking after me. Means so much

@RealEyes it will take time darling, you may have s few wines and a wobble you may even be tempted to unblock and text him to tell him what a prick he is... but don't. You'll get there . Hugs and be strong xx

I would stay off the booze if you can OP, it will mess with your head.
Thinking of you 💐

So, found myself in a similar position! Lied about being in a relationship , then lied about having kids ! When I found out , he lied again saying they lived in Coventry ( he lives in Cardiff ) & said he went home every other w/e to see them . Guess what.... they live in Cardiff with him & his partner !!! Endless lies .....
I guess not all men are the same but if they can go the extent to lie you have to ask yourself what kind of a man is he ! Kick him to the kerb !
Not saying women are innocent parties either.... just putting that out there Wink

RealEyes · 18/01/2019 20:19

I'm trying to stay off the booze. I know I'll unblock him and abusive texts will start.

I can't believe the lies he told, sorry to hear you have had the same @Sh084868 I'm learning your gut instinct is never wrong.

Sh084868 · 18/01/2019 20:55

Absolutely trust your gut instinct!

RealEyes · 20/01/2019 15:06

I did it everyone I got through a drunken weekend without texting him 👍🏻

It was hard I had to hand my phone to my friend for the night. But I feel so good today knowing I didn't text him.

Thank you to everyone who has helped me on here. It means the 🌍

Well done! It'll get easier as time goes on xxx

Habadabadoo · 20/01/2019 18:21

Good update Smile.
I was just going to post the same words as @Mrsmummy90 !
Each week it will get easier and easier.
Don't give him the satisfaction of even an angry text. He deserves no attention at all.
Just look to the future and imagine how happy you will be.

summersoonplease · 20/01/2019 22:34

Well done real, proud of you SmileSmileWineThanks

Donkdonkgoo · 20/01/2019 22:50

Well done you 💐 It will get easier, mr right won't be far away x

RealEyes · 20/01/2019 23:08

I'll never trust another man again @Donkdonkgoo I don't see how I could.

I do worry thats going to be an issue for me

How do you learn to trust again

OP posts:
Mrsmummy90 · 20/01/2019 23:19

I genuinely believed that I'd never trust again after being cheated on in 2 relationships but one day, you'll find the right person that makes all those doubts go away.
I have never doubted my husband for a second. Of course I've had the odd "what if?" thought pop into my head but I know that he's a goodun.

Give yourself time to emotionally heal. Consider getting some counselling to work through what's happened and how it's affected you. It may help you come to terms with it all.

Donkdonkgoo · 21/01/2019 06:37

I'm not going to lie it's hard to trust again, I've had relationships since and two of them were definitely not the cheating kind and my gut was right about the others....this saying is very true...
Good judgement comes from experience, and experience comes from bad judgement.
Although your still hurting you will have learnt a lot from this relationship.
Just take time to heal xx
