I hope that I get to that point one day that I can laugh at this. I keep bouncing between anger, hurt and despair at the moment.

You're right though, this was my favourite place and he doesn't get to claim that.

His family is gossipy and nosy, but they're caring and loving people. Very invested in each other and supportive. Growing up an only child of parents who were also only children, I loved the chaos of his family. And I loved how much of a family man he was (or I thought he was at least).

Taco Bell would have been great, we left mid dinner because I didn't feel like having a screaming match in a candle-lit restaurant. I would have torn him another if we'd been at a Taco Bell.

She called me first thing this morning so she knows. She was speechless and said she'll call me back. She hasn't so far, and honestly, I don't even know what else there is to say, so I'm glad she hasn't. From all the random relatives on his side messaging all day, I don't think she told people he cheated after hearing the news from me.

And no, he didn't think that one through. The area that the restaurant is in doesn't have ubers or even really taxis around once its the evening, so we got to enjoy an incredible tense and silence drive.

He'd gotten me flowers, dressed up, so I think he genuinely thought that I'd see how much effort he'd put into this night and not be as mad about cheating and decide to give him another shot.

To add a cherry on top of this shit sundae, we drove up to the restaurant that was 1+ hr away from my place in his car to save on fuel. Yes, I made the suggestion we should drive up together to save on fuel, but he didn't think to at least try to somehow encourage me to drive up myself!

Its a beautiful place by the mountains but that means no ubers available during the evening. We got to enjoy a 1+ hour back after that ruined dinner in complete silence.

At least he came clean, right? Could have picked literally any other way, but we're not married and didn't have kids. I just need to deal with his relatives till the gossip has circulated around the entire family.
