Really need some outsiders’ perspective on this.
A few years ago, I was seeing this amazing guy who I completely fell for but I wasn’t getting the attention/commitment I wanted. He said he felt the same but was wanting to take things slower. So basically, I’m not proud of it but I cut things off with him suddenly without telling him and blocked his number etc. He kept tried contacting me continuously off different numbers and got his friends to contact me to, but each time I blocked them because I just didn’t want to have the conversation. A couple of weeks after that I met my current partner. When we got together he used to see how much the previous guy would try and contact me and how weird it got. I was constantly having to block numbers. A year in from then, I got engaged to my current partner and we moved in together. Everything was going so well until one day I got an anonymous phone call from someone telling me he was cheating. I told my partner and instantly we both thought it was linked to the previous guy so I didn’t take any notice and changed my number.
About 6 months after that, in the space of a week someone came up to me and told me my partner has been having an affair. He showed me evidence of messages etc. I dismissed it to friends and family and my partner said it was probably that guy again. A few days after that, someone who said they were a mutual friend of me and my partner, messaged me and said they didn’t want to say who they were because they didn’t want to fall out with anyone... but the cheating accusations were true. I was then shown a picture of my partner kissing another woman!!! The date the photo was taking was when I was out at work. The number and messages shown by the guy also match my partner’s and was when I was away with work.
I obviously confronted my partner and told him and he’s insisting he never cheated on me and is innocent. We are living together and it will be difficult to move out during lockdown. I’ve never questioned my partner’s love, he gives me attention and I’m always the centre of his world. My friends and family have said the same and that he would never do that to me and they can all see how much In love we both are.
What do I do?!!!
