Heartbroken.. double life

Hi all

i am not sure why I am posting on here I am just all over the place at the moment and so heartbroken as I have discovered a few days ago that my on and off partner of 7 years has been in another on and off relationship for 10 years and has 2 children- one boy one girl aged 3 and 5 with this woman. He told me he had no children and I had no idea about any of this especially the children.

i found out through someone we both know who then told me who the woman was and I contacted her who told me everything and vice Versa. He does not live with this woman and hasn’t since before they had kids .. and they are not together both facts confirmed by her and him however their set up seems very weird and I don’t understand any of it but that’s not my concern tbh

His family knew about both of us but she was alot more involved in the family than I was. Something i questioned a lot and I wondered was there someone else but the kids element has floored me

our Rship was toxic. As is there’s from what she said but this still is the biggest betrayal and heart

Break I have ever experienced in my life.

he also coerced me to get an abortion when this other woman was about to give birth I know this as she has told me the dates the children were born. I spoke to him about wanting kids all the time, he told me he wasn’t ready yet little did I know he had them already

I confronted him, he denied it at first then admitted it. He said they are not together and it’s a co parenting Rship and he loves me , the very next day he told her I was nothing and I am lying

I haven’t spoken to him since I have came off social media and changed my number however im now finding this so hard and I feel so angry ! I know I’ll be better off out of this but I feel what type of sick person can lie for this long

so much more I could say but I don’t want this post to be to outing incase she is on here

Sorry you are going through this, OP. But he’s disgusting and you are well rid of him. The other woman is worse off. Forget him now, and enjoy a much better life without him.

Rosey1334p · 09/03/2023 17:55

I know I am well rid of him and I will be so much better without him it just hurts so much atm

I know the women’s social media so I’ve seen pics of the kids etc and I keep doing more and more digging which I know is only going to make it worse have to admit I thought I could go cold Turkey and just leave this be and never speak to him again but i ended up calling him demanding answers which got me nowhere and made me feel shit. He couldn’t even speak me with respect and is being so nasty to me like he has turned over night well I should say true colours came out rather than turned I’ve done absolutely nothing wrong to him!

he hinted that he wanted to talk in person but that will only be because he won’t want any ‘paper trail’ for me to show this woman. He said I should be an adult and talk to him properly if want answers he’s prepared to give them . Like what the fuk l!!

Still saying they were/are not together and just co parent clearly she’s the only one parenting considering he’s a shit dad.

i know I’ll prob get jumped on for calling him but its just hard to go cold Turkey after so long and I’m constantly thinking about this 24/7

I have to admit I now feel like I am/ was the bit on the side for so long and with no idea ! she has his kids i was practically forced to get rid and his family know her way more than they know me

i am sure everyone in his family will be rallying around her including him trying to win her back and my feelings have been totally dismissed like I am nothing I know that sounds pathetic but it really hurts.

hes also asking if I have told my dad ( I have) and is threatening to go to his house and show him messages between us and tell him what he’s done wrong himself as it should come from him. I have no idea why he is saying this and what he would ever gain from that! There are obviously things my family do not know about our Rship for example the abortion and he’s basically threatening to tell them and I have no idea why ! Like he hasn’t done enough

Rosey1334p · 09/03/2023 18:02

He is saying he has all the messages I have sent him printed out and is going to turn up at my dads house with his ‘folder’ like what the fuk !!

Terrible I think his family are the worst in this. Absolutely disgusting of them.

There's no point asking any more questions OP. You need to think of yourself I know it's tough but he has 2 kids.... if you want your own little family you need to move on.

He is saying he has all the messages I have sent him printed out and is going to turn up at my dads house with his ‘folder’ like what the fuk !!

So he's blackmailing you into submission and silence.

Is he trying to say you were aware of his wife/family and still proceeded to date him ?

WidthofaLine · 09/03/2023 18:45

He's clearly worried about your dad's opinion.

Rosey1334p · 09/03/2023 18:47

@WidthofaLine no he isn’t trying to say I was aware.. also not his wife and they are not together and haven’t been for a long time which is what she has also told me. Plus me and her had a very long phone call and we both told each other everything so there’s nothing either of us don’t know at this point

i have no idea why he is making this ‘threat’ and what he stands to gain from it

OP posts:
WidthofaLine · 09/03/2023 18:50

Does he fear your father, or does he have buisness links with him or could your father diminish his reputation in some way. ?

Rosey1334p · 09/03/2023 18:54

@WidthofaLine no to both and My family do not want any part of this and have told me to stay well away. He barely even knows my dad! He is clearly a full blown narc and they can’t stand it when their true colours are finally shown

Whooyou · 09/03/2023 19:21

So where does he live then? Not with you, not with her? Where?

Rosey1334p · 09/03/2023 19:25

@Whooyou with his mum .. his number 1 enabler emabrassing I know

OP posts:
Rosey1334p · 09/03/2023 19:28

Shocked how he got away with this especially in the first couple of years of us together when his first child was a newborn as he was at mine multiple times a week staying over

Whooyou · 10/03/2023 08:04

You're well shot of him the creep

user1471538283 · 10/03/2023 08:12

Dear god. I too believe she has given you a wonderful gift. Whilst him, not so much.

You are still young enough to meet someone worthy of you.
