My ex husband and I separated 2 years ago. He left out of the blue and in a few weeks it came out he was having an affair.
I have since found out that he has done this in his previously 2 long term realrionships too. In fact I was unknowingly the other woman in the one before me, I did not know until recently that there was an overlap. This ex partner I know was very heartbroken but their split (I thought it was months prior to us meeting) and made several attempts at contacting me at that time (12 years ago) and a few times since. He painted her as a bitter ex so I didn’t engage in the discussion.
i feel really compelled to reach out to her now to say that I’ve now experienced the same thing and maybe to explain that I didn’t realise they were still together. Probably a crazy idea but it’s been on my mind since I found out
