My ex lived a double life.

If I can get through this. All of you can get over anything.

What I knew already:

Did cocaine before. He said 2 or 3 times !
Some of his family are criminals. They do drugs, one is in prison for murder ( only found this out recently ).
Saw a text before to his friend saying he'd bang a much older co worker, what he'd like to do her etc
He laughed at issues I have with sex to my best friend a few months ago - that I completely blocked out.

He told me he was sick in February. He got his bloods done etc. He wasn't as affectionate anymore and stopped complimenting me and hadn't snogged me in months.

I ignored all these signs. I ignored them because I thought he was physically unwell. I knew he loved me !

What I found out 3 weeks ago... I asked about his savings and his face went red.

Cocaine habit. Does it most weeks.
Gambling addict and I mean 1000 not 50 quid.

I asked out straight please tell me if there's anything else. He swore on a family members life there wasn't.

I went for a little walk and came back to the house. I got a message request when I walked in.

Hey girl...

Oh yes. He had a girl online ( who isn't even on this continent) who sends him nudes. He started chatting to her last November. He saved a picture of her vagina the night of his birthday at his party I organised.

I left his house and took all my belongings with me.

Next few days just got texts about how sick he was. I met him 5 days later. We went for a massive walk in the woods.

The snapchat was all her. She sent them, he never asked. He saved the picture of her vagina cause it was funny looking 🙂

While in the park, he was flirting non stop with me. Even at one point went to grab my arse. I peed in the woods and he kept looking at me suggestively.

Now let me tell you. Yes he might get over his addictions but in a family like his, no support and full of enablers... what's the liklihood of him changing ?

Lying on a family members life. Letting me organise birthday, valentines, Christmas etc.. lying through all that is something no doctor will ever be able to fix. He has a serious lack of empathy no matter how many tears he shed that day.

His family ADORE me. Let me tell you. He won't ever live this down. I know his Mum will mention me for years to come.

Yes I love him. The image he portrayed but I don't love that man that's out there now in the world. He is a pos. And me ? Well I deserve the world and more.

After the park and he went home, I blocked him and his family on everything and I threw out cards, photos etc.

I work in the medical field and have had 3 people mention the word sociopath around me... I think that's him.

I tell you it is weird missing him. I miss the fun and charismatic side then I remember that's how he attracted me.

I'm 6 ft and he was 6 ft 6. I hope I meet someone I'm that physically attracted to again. I won't be settling anytime soon.

The day I met up with him to chat he said to me I feel like you're my wife. Aren't we together in sickness and health ? And he laughed. Absolute weirdo. I know I'm well rid.

I'm just exhausted. 3 weeks broken up now and he's blocked on everything since a few days after.

I just keep thinking who the hell was I with. When I was sick he was sexting someone. His birthday he got vagina pictures from a girl abroad. I spent hundreds on his birthday.

I just hate all the energy I put into him.

I'm not a mess. I got out as soon as I learnt it all.

Your grieving for the man he pretended to be to reel you in, he is going to try to Hoover you back not because your the love of his life
but because it’s a thrill to win.

His family won’t like you when he realises you won’t go back to him as he will lie to them as nothing is ever his fault but before that happens don’t be surprised if he uses them to drop by and beg you to go back to him as your the love of his life blah blah blah and he is feeling suicidal etc.
No amount of therapy will change him to the person he “ used to be “ as that was just a facade to reel people in and he probably has a sex addiction too.
You need to concentrate on you now and stop worrying that your height will hinder your chances of attraction

@H112 how are you doing now? x

Omg long time ago now. He reached out a good few times. Sent me over 500 quids worth of birthday presents in June.

I never replied my friend dropped them back to his home.

I am thriving hahaha. I lost 2 more stone on top of a 3 stone weight loss. I got a new job. I am dating someone who has no big or little red flags and if any appear... I will be gone.

What kept me going was knowing he told me everyday how much he loved me and he slept like a baby knowing he was cheating .. a drug addict.. a gambling addict .. knowing he will never be trustworthy and the man I loved never existed kept me going.

Funny I imagined 2023 would revolve around that but no its about me. Dream job. 5 stone weight loss, size 20 to 14. Learning how to drive. I'm loving life. It's just made me stronger seeing how well I survived. Thanks for asking xx
