He's created. I'm hurt but I'm strong

This evening I've been sent an anonymous message via social media with evidence that my partner of 11 months has cheated on me.

I'm going to condense this as much as possible but I have had my suspicious which I have not told him about and I have just sat back and watched what he says and does the last 4 weeks or so and he has contradicted himself twice , again ive said nothing as I felt I needed proof, actually I said something once and he massively gaslit me.

I was blindsided at the time but I have known deep down this will have to end this eventually as I can't trust him. I was processing so to speak.

Fast forward to this evening I have had an anonymous msg via social media from a man who has sent screenshots to proof my partner and his have been having an affair .

He said he will not tell either of them he has told me to give me time to process.

I've already made my decision it is over. No going back for me. The trust has completely gone and it will never be the same relationship again.
Apart from all of that I feel sick at the thought of seeing his face ever again let alone him touching me or sharing the same bed

My small dilemma and something I need advice on is my next step

So this evening he is out with friends.
We Do not live together, I am due to see him tomorrow.
In any other set up I would block, delete move on. Maybe tell them first via txt msg that I know what I know and that be it.

This is where it gets complicated, he is my neighbour and lives 3 doors down from me
I know , I know stupid of me !!

So the usually block delete may not work as he's going to see me in our street he is also likely to knock on my door.

I live in a small village

I'm not alone I have family and friends in the nxt town, but I also don't wnat to feel I have to run away and never go out in my village ever again!

Any advice welcome please.
I need to hatch my plan before tomorrow morning when I know he will be messaging his usual txts about seeing me tomorrow daytime

This is our usual routine so I know he will contact me , late morning at the latest

Shall I block now? What should I do??

I’m with sandy shandy, don’t tell him you know , just tell him you’ve not been feeling it lately , you wish him well, goodbye. 👋 f you really want to stick the knife in you could say you were sexually incompatible , no more detail, just make him twitchy😂 or you just couldn’t get past his skinny arms , just sow a seed of doubt in there to crush his ego. If you tell him it’s over because he cheated he will try and deny/ talk you round, also it’s kind of face saving for him if he can tell his mates you ditched him because he’s a shagger, take that option off the fucker.

You have made me laugh, I'm not dating but if I ever do and he messes me around I'll always remember your advise of being sexually incompatible and his skinny arms 😂

Dump him. Just say you were thinking last night that you didn't think it was working and you'd be happier on your own.

Bruise that nasty ego.

Good luck.

Let us know how things go.

Tell him you know he's been cheating and end it. No need to make drama out of it.
