There's no way back from this is there?

I know the answer really but I need to hear it from someone as my head all over the place. Please be kind as I'm in bits.
Been with partner 3 years, engaged , was trying for a baby.

Found out on my birthday last year he was messaging someone he used to work with and paid them for their adult videos content on my birthday and when she asked if he was still with me he said no. He also says he wishes he asked her out. This fizzled out when he realised she only wanted his money and he has none.

Next one on his birthday after I had booked a weekend away for us he replies to someone that he isn't engaged when they asked about his status update and he replies a friend hacked into his fb to make him seem more alluring as who would want him.

Next one he planned on meeting a old flame and the usual messages of he wishes things had been different crap and regrets etc
He planned on meeting her on a day he was viewing a house we were thinking of relocating nearer his family hundreds of miles away and he denies that they actually met and she cancelled on him but the intent of him seeing her on a day he was viewing a house we had been offered and I would have uprooted myself and my child hundreds of miles away.

He says a small part of him was going to go with not knowing what would happen but it was about catching up with a old friend who wasn't in a good place.

All of these things he did coincide at significant time periods in our life which hurts even more. Even if I believe he didn't meet up with old flame telling 2 different people he wasn't with someone and paying for adult content on my birthday is just the ultimate disrespect.

There is no going back from this is there really?

You've given him enough chances now. He sounds pathetic and repellent.

OP it’s so hard now but one day you will thank your lucky stars you found out before you had a baby with this man.

I am so sorry for the pain you are going through. You must be totally shocked which is making you freeze regarding making a decision about this. As an outsider it is obvious that you should end it. When it's happening to you all sorts of things go through your mind, disbelief, bargaining, justifying. You need to process it properly. Are you able to get away, stay with family or friends?

This person is not good for you. He doesn't respect you and you deserve much better. I hope you find peace with this and move on to someone you deserves you Flowers

What a horrible man. I'm sorry you're hurting right now. There's no coming back from it, he is what he is. He's not going to change and you deserve better than him.

It must have been an awful shock to find out all of this at once but at least now you know, rather than if you had got pregnant. Also this should be enough to make a decision on, rather than wondering 'hmm what if it was a one off?' Which is what might have happened if it had come out drip-drip style. Can you speak to someone trusted in real life?

He is still in the house but I'm not with him. I've only found out 2 days ago.

Thank god you found out what he's like before getting married/pregnant. You're free to move on without him.

Shit. What an absolute wanker. You kept forgiving his nonsense and gaslighting no doubt because you love him, but this man is simply undeserving of anything but contempt from you actually. He's playing you like a fiddle. Hacked my arse. The classic excuse spouted by cheaters around the globe. He sees you as the constant doormat while he tried to get sex with anyone who he deems fit for purpose. He clearly views women as objects. Be glad you found out he is not a good person, break it off, do not get pregnant and get yourself out of there before he has you believing the bloody sky is pink!

She's only just found out - she hasn't been forgiving him anything.

It feels absolutely awful right now, and will do for a little bit, but I can assure you that you're going to look back on this day at some point and feel soooo relieved with yourself that you ended things.
