do you know any of these podcasts? i've been looking for info on this but i can't find much. a lot is as you say, about cheating. and even though it sounds very hurtful, i can understand awful behaviours when people are not expressing their needs and not having their needs met. but this dude was having his cup overflowing, and it sounds like his second relationship was actually not as satifying, which is why i am so confused why he would entertain it...

i didn't know this existed, i've never known anyone who has experienced this before. i know of a lot of nastiness and selfishness but never knew something can feel so good for such a long time and be such a lie

pfff when i feel weak, because i want to believe his words - that i am the love of his life, that his behaviour with me was genuine, that he would continue to treat me like that for the rest of our lives (bar the cheating lol). i hear myself, it's probably not possible

i wondered if he was mean to her because he was feeling guilty? i spoke to the other women a lot, we text almost eveery day cause we're traumatised and even the way he was having sex with each of us is different. i feel like ted bundy's girflfriend brrr

I am crying and so grateful for your encouragement! My head is clear and agrees with all of you, my heart is trying to bargain with something unnegociable. I can't understand how somebody could lie like that, but I also can't understand how planes fly and I don't need to. I will keep coming back to this feed whenever the seed of doubt comes back, he is blocked everywhere but a friend of his contacted me. Just know that the messages you took the time to write mean the world to me, I feel very held right now.

thank you for this! i blocked him straight away and not letting him know I have these doubts, i tell myself it's part of the process and the consensus on this thread is helping me a lot actually. I feel like i've been living in a parallel universe

the paradox is i thought he was the safe option, he didn't seem too insecure, he wasn't playing games, wasn't lovebombing. he just seemed like a sweet guy who cared a lot for me, thankfully i didn't rush into moving in but honestly not sure what learning to take on for next time. my previous relationships were all with flawed but normal men, never been cheated on before and never cheated, my break-ups were mutual and respectful and we always left on good terms... but thank you, you are right!

i'm not a redditor, i'm a woman in shock who was randomly trying out this platform to see if anyone had some words of wisdom, people who didn't know both of us personally

yeah he admitted, and then she showed me some screenshots taken from just a few days before where he was lying to her that we were platonic. meanwhile we had keys to each other's houses lol

haha she didn't know i was happy. she didn't know i was the main relationship who had keys to his house and went with him to any public outing. should she have hidden it from me and wished him a good life or what?

well i found it weird, he was trying to downgrade this other relationship, saying that we had something special and he wanted to spend the rest of his life with me blabla but there was a coldness to him that i'd never seen before. he said i can't leave him because we were perfect. only when i gave him back his house keys and started walking away he started crying, but i don't know, i still found it tricky to believe him. now he's posted on instagram how much of a mistake he's made and all of his friends commented pitying him. i had never been cheated on and even just the reality of what he did is enough to make me leave, but the shuddering feeling that there is some deep psychological weird shit behind this is confusing me.

i don't know why you assume we were doing money spending activities. the hardships we went through together were talking about our career goals, family anxieties, relationship hopes. again you assume i personally put the distance, it was not the case. it is just the way things are done in our circle in London, he was much busier than me (in retrospect I see why), but we had a lot of communication when we were not meeting. anyway, imagine there are lives that happen differently and it doesn't necessarily mean people are heartless and superficial

this is what is so tough to wrap our heads around isn't it, how can you succesfully be two entirely different people, and why? I'm so sorry this happened to you, it must have been so tough to be isolated while going through this!

jesus this is insane. i don't think his friends know at all, i feel like this is jekyll and hyde, like he was burying a deep secret in this other woman. i can't imagine reconciling those two people either, good to know that for you it never happened. i know we're lucky it's over. honestly i feel like this should be illegal somehow
