A couple of weeks ago I discovered my boyfriend of two years had been messaging another woman, saw on his phone. He admitted he had chatted and met up with her (I didn't ask for further information as that was enough for me). I dumped him, felt devastated tbh.
We have no kids together and no financial ties. Since then he's contacted me a fair bit, but I haven't answered the phone. So he stopped calling. I've had some long messages/emails from him, including today.
His emails say he loves me, it was a huge mistake to cheat, he's sorry he hurt me etc, he misses me, I mean the world to him etc. He asks me to forgive him and try again.
I haven't replied. I am wondering though - why does he want me back? What is his motivation? If he was happy to cheat, why doesn't he just crack on with another woman?
I know I was a very loving, dependable girlfriend and he probably does miss that, is there any chance he's genuinely sorry? Or should I just ignore forever?
