Been single for years. Finally met a great guy. He was perfect. But all clearly a show. Tonight I’m convinced he’s been dating others. Only reason I’m not ending it by blocking the F out of him is that I have a really important appointment on Friday which I need to be super strong for. I don’t want any upset ahead of that. I don’t need to see him before then anyway. I feel so sad tho, and like an idiot. Usually I can fling these tosspots back into the safe with no second thought. I seem to not be as strong as I was once. I started dating, all my friends backed me, gave me strength, and I thought I met the right guy, he said all the right things, and here I am back to square now. It’s utterly painful. Help.

Sorry you’re suffering OP. Remember this is a reflection on him, not you. Stay strong and don’t allow him to mess up Friday for you.

I don't understand why blocking him now would affect your appt on Friday? If he's blocked, how can he start drama? You have no plans to see him anyway so you don't have to text him or see him. Are you scared of him? Is he likely to come to your home or place of work to kick off?

If you have proof of his cheating and are really sad about it, are you really going to be able to continue texting and chatting to him as normal until after Friday.

That doesn't make any sense whatsoever, does it? The upset has already happened, hasn't it. Keeping in contact with him can only make it worse. Block him now and move on.

Because it’s the final step to ending it and it will be hurtful for me. Even tho I know it’s the right thing to do. I’m vulnerable this week and don’t have the strength I normally would. I don’t think I’d be able to pick myself up for the important appointment which could be life changing. I’ll wait until the weekend and end it then so I can have time to process it and be miserable then dust myself off and move on.
