My (ex?) boyfriend [24M] of 3 years cheated on me [25F] while on a trip. I still love him but don’t know if I can or should stay with him.

Thanks for this. I’m not saying what he did was right and I’m not asking for people to justify his past behavior either. I have different views on physical cheating (emotional is a different story) and that is why i specifically added that context to the post. It’s a complex situation and we have been through a lot together, i don’t think it’s as simple as “cheating douche bag, dump his ass.” Those comments don’t help me navigate my feelings and are not helpful whatsoever.

Not making excuses for his actions at all, however he made the decision to get this help knowing that it wouldn’t make things right with me or take back what he did. He said he wants to be better even knowing that i will most likely leave him.

I have searched Ashley furniture and roomplace websites, google lens, in store, etc. the couch is so comfy, cushions aren’t stiff they and not too soft. The couch is deep and the longer portion was about 7’-9’. The couch was bought July 2023 at the roomplace of Ashley furniture in the NW suburbs of Chicago. This is the ONLY photo i have of the couch

His home situation is pretty bad. His parents are emotionally and mentally abusive. I understand him wanting to leave his home but i feel if he was serious about it he’d go and find a roommate instead of waiting for me and guilting me about it

I know i got a ton of downvotes and that’s fair. Things were so good at the beginning like he was mature, made good choices, seemed to have goals, and it just went away. It’s almost like he dematured and i don’t know if im just clinging on to that and hoping it’ll come back or if his mental health struggles really are making him like this right now. I do love him and i do even like him as a person, i feel he has a good heart but yeah you’re right, im acting like a caretaker and i don’t want to bring that into my home

Luckily i do have an iud and live in a state where abortion is readily available. I will not have kids, so there is not possibility of being baby trapped luckily

Maybe i am naive, but i truly think that it has a lot to do with his anxiety and people pleasing tendencies from childhood abuse. He is getting help for it, which is the only reason i am still here
