DP just text me from his 2nd phone...

So my DP has just text me from an unknown number which I suspect is a second sim card.

There have been instances maybe a year or 2 ago where I have caught him messaging other women. I think he's got a 2nd phone to cover his tracks.

How do I play this? Text back "who's this?" or wait until I get home and say something? Don't think he has realised his mistake yet.

Please don't go to the inlaws op, why should you? Why keep a stiff upper lip over his deceptions?

If I were forced to go, I would be entertaining the party with his shit behavior. But then I'm not a nice person when hurt and angry Wink.

We rarely have sex so don't see that being an issue thankfully

Why is that?

Put the number in to your contacts and the look up on whatsapp. Does a smooth nigel havers style man about town profile picture come up

Oh sorry! I did read a page and a half in my defense.

Better to laugh in a cottage than cry in a mansion.

Well we all know he's lying. However, he's now insulting your intelligence even more because, if he got another SIM to check up on you, he wouldn't be sending you a regular message from it!

Hope you're not going to his parents. You don't need to be playing along with this farce any more.

You dont have to play happy families m’dear.

He can explain your absence (bet he doesn’t) and you get to stay home, packing for you and the dog.

He is nowt but a philandery phucker x

I know how you feel. My husband is having an affair, he goes to see her once a week. He betrayed me and I’m the one organising the house sell and mediation. I’m 44, never lived on my own and I’m scared for what the future holds.. but I figure it’s got to be better than living with a man Who has no respect for me.

He's cheating! For sure. And gas lighting you, get rid!

ChristmasFluff · 28/05/2021 20:46

My goodness, @MadeForFun, you need to stop being afraid of leaving him and start being afriad of spending the rest of your life with him.

Really see it. Really see. Him, cheating as you have children. As you grow older. Him leaving for a younger woman to look after him as you age - and blaming it on you to your children, family, friends. Or him staying, and enlessly cheating. Never truly caring for you.

That what you want?

If not, it's only a matter of time until you leave or he ends it. Only a matter of how much of your preckious life you waste.

You get to choose.

Choose wisely.

What utter BS.

Please don't waste anymore time with this loser

@MadeForFun

PriestessofPing I do feel like an absolute fool. Does he really think I'm that stupid?
You aren't stupid, far from it as you've sussed his game. But, yes he does think you are stupid for giving him the green light after the last time. That's what the scum bags do, if you let them. You deserve a good life, not one looking over your shoulder, and you're worth 10 of him. Thanks

Do you work? The housing market is ridiculously booming right now, get in quick and get rid of the house, dump your filthy boyfriend and enjoy life 🎉
