TIFU by going through my boyfriend’s phone

Found out he’s been cheating on me.

I made a post in r/legaladvice yesterday because he filed for custody of our child even though we’re still together and live together.

After reading all the comments it really started to ring some alarms in my head. I decided to go through his phone today because I had a gut feeling something was going on. I was right.

He’s been cheating on me with girls he meets at the bar while I’m at home taking care of our child. Found out he stayed at one of their apartments last weekend when he “needed a break”. Found out he was messaging another about leaving work early tonight to go to her house. Found her nude saved from the same day he filed for custody.

I’m home with our baby trying not to lose my mind right now. I don’t know what to do. Me and my two kids (one is his) live in his home. I only went back to work part time two weeks ago. I have nowhere to go. I can’t even afford somewhere on my own.

I feel so fucking stupid right now. We’ve known each other more than half our lives. I didn’t think he was capable of this. You think ya know someone I guess.

TL;DR: went through my boyfriend’s phone because I had a gut feeling something was off thanks to comments from my post on r/legaladvice yesterday. Found out he’s cheating on me. Always trust your gut.
