Cheating boyfriend

30 replies

Worrier247 · 19/03/2020 20:57

My daughter age 20 has been with her boyfriend for 3 years. He has repeatedly cheated on her the the whole time and she keeps forgiving him. He has just done it again, he tricked an 18 year old into sleeping with him by saying he is single and looking for a seriouse relationship. He makes me feel sick and I can't stand to have him in the house anymore. She won't listen to anyone's advice. Any advice please, it's breaking my heart.

She is obviously having a very tough time right now. I think it would be good if you can speak to her regularly on the phone and just be as upbeat as you can be, talk about lots of different things but not her bf....always tell her that you love her. Don"t ban bf from your house as then he may use that as a way to cut you off from your daughter. She is an adult so she has to make the decision to leave him when she is ready and able to but it probably won't be easy for her. As much as it hurts watching him treat her like this, if you do start slagging him off she may well get all protective and cling to him more. Tread with care.

@Worrier247 Truthfully this is a realisation she has to come to on her own, I truly don't believe she will accept any advice. No matter how painful I think you need to treat him with disdain so she knows your feelings, but pushing her will serve nothing but push her away from you.

Thank you everyone for your help and advice. Good news. She has left him and is home with the family. She still has him on social media and he keeps messaging her trying to be nice. I think she should block him and move on, but she wants him to see what he's missing as she moves on with her life. Any opinions on what would be the best thing for her to do?

She should block him and never talk to him again. The little prick.
