Babygirl, why didn’t you confront him about cheating with Hollie?

You’re going to need an STD test.

LadyVanelope · 21/07/2023 21:23

Did you screen shot the messages on your phone so he cant gas light you?

babygirl88 · 21/07/2023 21:23

I cannot breathe properly. I cant believe this

So sorry OP. I get it you don't want to seem snoopy.

I would message him and tell him you're just not feeling it, the sex isn't doing it for you so you're ending the relationship. He won't be expecting that and it will dent his ego.

So so sorry you are going through this

TheBestUsernamesAreGone · 21/07/2023 21:25

Doesn't matter why you looked at his phone. He's the one in the wrong here not you. Stay strong.

Debini · 21/07/2023 21:26

He can’t say you were snooping, the message just popped up you didn’t go looking for it.

YoSof · 21/07/2023 21:26

You know what you saw. You know who he is now.

Right now you’re in shock, you don’t have to do anything except breathe. Do you have a friend you can call to come over?

You don’t have to confront him if you don’t want to, you don’t have to hear the bullshit. You can just block him if that’s what you want.

Take some time to process but please don’t allow him to manipulate you into staying with him, you deserve so much better and in time you’ll get over this and be so much happier. If you stay with him you’re in for years of hurt. Sending love x

Cakecakecheese · 21/07/2023 21:26

Don't tell him how you found out, just say you know he's been cheating and your relationship is over then block him. You can do STI tests via the post so you don't even need to visit a clinic if you don't want to.

I could see the conversations. He had pretended to fall asleep while we were out on a date. He put 'sorry, had a nap' cunt

What an absolute twat.

I'm glad you've seen this though. I'm glad you've got the full information, can see exactly what he's like. And I'm also glad to see you don't live together. You can make a clean break.

This will be horrible for a while but you have the rest of your life ahead of you.

babygirl88 · 21/07/2023 21:27

What an idiot i am. While he was showering i was wearing sexy lingerie getting ready for him. I just tapped it and saw the messages. I got changed and said i needed to leave. He protested for so long. Why do they do this. Fuck off to hollie?!

Hiddenvoice · 21/07/2023 21:27

I’m so sorry op, it’s horrible! Hope you’re okay!

YukoandHiro · 21/07/2023 21:28

Has he gone now? Have you asked him to leave your place?

Cakecakecheese · 21/07/2023 21:28

He's the idiot, not you.

babygirl88 · 21/07/2023 21:29

He has left. I didnt say a word other than i needed to leave.

OP posts:
babygirl88 · 21/07/2023 21:29

He was angry like i had incovenienced HIM.

OP posts:
Aquamarine1029 · 21/07/2023 21:30

Text him, tell him you know he's cheating, tell him to never contact you again and then block him. I'm so sorry this happened.

LadyVanelope · 21/07/2023 21:30

Well done you! He is an idiot and you deserve so much better ❤️

Cloud992 · 21/07/2023 21:30

So sorry that this has happened to you OP .

such betrayal. No one deserves this.
I hope you’re ok. You will get through this, he’s not worth being upset over!

babygirl88 · 21/07/2023 21:30

I cant believe it. I feel frozen. Im so shocked

@babygirl88

ive been cheated on before, but had my suspicions so it wasn't a shock.

you must feel shell shocked!

You're not going to stay with him are you?

id have to have it out with him though. Bastard!!

CarolynKnappShappy · 21/07/2023 21:31

I wouldn’t give him the satisfaction of knowing you know - I’d just block him totally.
I did this once and eventually he got hold of me and so just said ‘you’re not a man you are a pathetic mouse’ and it drove him mad - he didn’t know what I knew or how I knew it!

Cloud992 · 21/07/2023 21:32

Oh I would totally confront him to embarrass him. How pathetic of a “man” he is
