Long story short, or at least I will try to aim for it. I was in a relationship, almost a year when my ex boyfriend got busted that he had had another woman pretty much the whole time while we were exclusively together. There were signs a few times but I had left it there, until there were more and more signs and I decided to reach out to the woman who admitted the affair between them, and it was happening pretty much the whole time during our relationship. Obviously, we then broke up, but after a while he started to reach out to me again and was really committed to prove me that “I am his only one” so we kind of reconnected. Yes, I know how stupid I am, but I gave it a go. Since then, we had some ups and downs, but we have been seeing each other for a little while now. I know that these two have been in touch and messaging sometimes, but as per my ex says, nothing romantic. I have a gut feeling that there is more to this, and I told him that I would reach out to the woman again to find out the truth. He seemed quite panicky and said things that didn’t exactly feel very nice, almost like he wants to suddenly end things with me. I know it may make me look stupid, but I am really leaning towards reaching out to her to find the truth out. I have a feeling that he is keeping both of us, and he is worried that if I reached out to her, he would end things with him as well.
I am pretty much alone in this, please help me! What would you do?
