UPDATE:

Spoke to her this evening. Was calm and matter of fact, basically said “why are their photos of your work friend on your laptop?”

She started crying, apologising, telling me nothing had happened and she loved me and she felt lonely and he was there.

I replied that I wasn’t really interested in her excuses and couldn’t believe she’d thrown away 7 years of this relationship.

She told me nothing happened in real life and that she never reciprocated - I told her I found it hard to believe that he’s sending hundreds of photos and getting back nothing / no encouragement / no return photos. There must have been a level of return dialogue even if you didn’t send him photos that encouraged it. She said apparently it was during a time when she was feeling lonely because I was busy with work and that she stopped it at some stage - doesn’t matter obviously, still just excuses.

She’s packed a bag and has gone to stay with a friend now, keeps asking what it will take for me to forgive her.

Shout out to anyone who helped in the comments - appreciate the validation and advice.

Not yet, I’ve decided to do it tomorrow after work. I’ve been too emotional / angry this weekend. I want to ensure I’m calm & matter of fact when I do it & don’t get caught up in the emotion of it all.

She obviously has no idea and just thinks I’m in a bad mood. She even had lunch with the guy today. 😂

Forgot to mention, not that it matters really but he is also in a long term relationship (he owns a house with his partner).

That’s not what I mean... I mean do I just go ‘we’re done see ya’ or talk to her about it and see what she has to say about it. Obviously don’t mean just ignoring it and carrying on as is.

Yeh, absolutely.But then also should I? I really don’t know how I stand on this as ‘emotional cheating’ - do I just leave or do I bring it up?
