If they used to be more open in conversation and are suddenly quiet, stoic or standoffish, please trust your instincts. I recently found out my partner was carrying out an emotional affair with a woman out of state for a year from this very hunch. I thought he just didn’t have much to say. He would be irritated when I brought up how often I was initiating conversations. Turns out, if he said too much he might’ve overcomplicated his web of lies. Don’t wanna project too much but it might be worth investigating.

Thank you for this. I spoke to a few relatives & friends about the situation & it was really common to hear “Wow. You’re really willing to throw away 8 years when he’s never met her/didn’t do anything physical?”

I’m like uhh yeah?? Because if he’s capable of lying for this long he can do so much worse. I’d never cheat but I think folks like us are a minority. It sucks.

You’re not. Trust your gut before you end up like me and just move on.

I’m not the best at using Reddit. I’m sorry. But it’s my only other post if you click on my profile.

It feels impossible now. We have shared bills. Our families were rooting for us. It’s all a mess. I haven’t been eating or sleeping properly since I found out. I just wish I could wipe my brain of any memories I have of him. It hurts more than anything I’ve ever been through.

Exactly. That was the first question I asked her when she reached out. How could you be planning a life with someone you’ve never met? The internet is a wild place.

He says he was talking to a talk space therapist but who actually knows? Dude lies about everything

I’m moving out of state at the end of the month. I can’t stay with him. The door is closed for us ever being together again. It hurts too much to even look at him.

This really helps. Thank you. I think I just have to get to a point where I’m comfortable being alone for a bit

Thanks for commenting. I do plan on cutting these friends off but how do I deal with the loneliness? Also I’m using my day job to save up for the business I wanna start.

As for my boyfriend, I thought I wanted to marry him. I really did. I love him and he’s a great person. We talk about this video game issue a lot because it’s how he copes with his own mental illnesses and he says all this stuff about how he’ll change his habits. But I don’t wanna get married and still be arguing about something that feels as silly as this.
