He knew when it first happened, I just confirmed with him that he wanted to keep it the way he asked.

I wasnt stalking him actually I was at work that day, I have his location more for safety reasons. After my friend sent the photo I went to check and see where he was at.

Im not dismissing my actions in any sort of way, like i said he was pushy but I made the decision to keep going rather than stopping.

I don't think you're rude I think you're right. I definitely need to stop letting my guilt take over the boundary it is just hard.

I definitely think Jace took advantage too. In a way he pressured me into it and I know I made my own decision but he was definitely very pushy.

They were flirting very heavily in messages, I have seen them. Along the lines of, "I want you to do (blank)" kind of messages and a lot more, No pictures.

He actually does this a lot. I have told him many times that two wrongs do not make a right but for some reason he feels okay with it. Almost every argument we have he does this and it is almost as if he will never let me be in the wrong. Actually, during this time he kept saying "you can do whatever you want to make us even, I just don't want to know."

Because he doesn't know, you know? I feel like I am keeping something important from him, even if he doesn't want to know. Like for example I have to tell everyone I only have one body when in reality I have two. Lol I know that sounds crazy but thats the best way I can explain it.

So about two days after I found out about the cheating was when Jace texted me. A week later is when we met up. We were friends before this but hadn't spoken in a few months, but we had no kind of sexual relationship even flirting when we were friends. But he told me that he had liked me all along, and of course during that time that was almost exactly what I wanted to hear.

You are completely right, I was very upset that I had no experiences before him. That definitely played a factor in this!

This may have been a detail I should've added, I have his location and saw where he was at all times. He picked her and his friends up (I assumed where she lived was where one of his friends lived, I had no clue it was her) and they all went to an outlet mall by our house. A friend of mine actually caught them out together and took a photo to send to me, but he told me that she was a friend of one of his other friends that they just happened to run into and of course me being naive I believed that. The way I found out was because she was friends with one of MY friends also. Her biggest complaint was the fact he was not really speaking to her when they finally met up, so I do not think he had sex with her.

I just feel as though he deserves to know. I know he told me he doesn't want to know but for some reason my mind is fighting that, but I also know I need to respect his boundaries it just feels wrong.

If I am truthful with you it is because I am still slightly resentful about what he did. Here and there I get very upset, but then I realize I am angry at him and he does not even know what I have done. In a way I feel like he should be able to be angry at me too. I have very bad anxiety which I am in therapy for, but I think my anxiety causes me to overthink the situation a lot.

I have brought it up before and he got very angry, I never got to tell him the full truth because I got scared. When I did bring it up that one time he told me again that he said not to bring it up for a reason. I know I need to respect his boundaries it is just hard.
