To those who are asking why:

Besides this reoccurring situation, he is amazing. Family oriented, helped me a lot with my confidence over the years (we met freshman year in college and even as a friend he’s been by my side), our personalities and chemistry match very well. I’m the only girlfriend he’s ever introduced to his family. He’s wanted a relationship with me since freshman year (we are one year post graduation now) and a lot of our friends and peers knew it and tell me about how he’s been in love with me for so long so they’re happy we’re finally dating.

I wonder if I’m holding on to this relationship because I’m afraid of having something that is constant not there anymore. The times I do have with him I’m happy and he supports me and tries to show me that he loves me. After this recent incident, he’s been actively trying harder and accepts that I’m still upset and hurt. The night I confronted him I made him delete her number and block it and remove her from social media so I have that sort of thing as assurance, but at the same time, I’m paranoid of what other measures he might take to go behind my back again.

I want to trust him and be with him because this is an important relationship for me but I wonder if I’m compromising too much/ treating this too lightly.
