Namechanged but regular poster. Sorry for the essay. I need to get this out of my system because I need to know that I'm not going mad.
I had found texts on his phone (not snooping- one flashed up when he was showing me something and I demanded to see them.) They were to a woman who works for him, and he was telling her she could go over to his house "any time, for anything." She was giving one word replies, and he was writing loads and adding kisses. I think she was uncomfortable.
I also found messages between him and one of my closest friends (she was also friends with him before we met.) He was calling her sexy, asking her when they could meet, said he couldn't wait to see her. She was replying with love hearts and all that. There is no proof in those messages that they had an affair, but he did admit that they "almost kissed".
I stupidly said we could work on things if he cut contact with those women.
In the months since then, he has repeatedly been in touch with them behind my back, particularly the friend. Nothing dodgy as far as I know, but I haven't seen the messages so I don't know. I have also found out that he was secretly talking to his ex wife.
I've known for a few weeks that this isn't okay any more, and that I can't go on. So I ended it yesterday. Apparently I am a possessive controlling psycho who won't let him speak to his friends, but that he will always love me and will always be there for me. Already I have received messages from a member of his family spouting the same nonsense, so I am now obviously the psycho ex.
And I know, I know it's bullshit, but a part of me is still in his mindset. That maybe I have overreacted. And I am in the very fresh part of the breakup where I think about his skin and the way he held me in bed and all that.
Please help my resolve. x
