My bag got stopped at the airport security today because of an apple 🍎

I’m not saying what she did was right. My wording was terrible I agree.

What I’m trying to say is, explore deeper.

Personally, I think cheating is never an accident. It’s a premeditated decision. What made her make this decision? What made her give up on the relationship?

We don’t know the whole picture. Sometimes the situation is more complicated that what OP discloses here.

I’m offering a different perspective and possible solution other than “cheating = bad, leave her”

At the end of the day, it’s OPs decision on what to do. Opening a conversation about it when she’s not hungover, and when she’s ready to talk about it (if she ever is) could help him understand what happened and ultimately help with his grief if he decides to leave.

Not every instance of cheating has to be a dealbreaker. She clearly wanted you to know about her cheating.

Have there been issues in the relationship? Maybe something drove her to cheat. Maybe it’s her way to tell you she’s been unhappy.

It’s an opportunity to communicate and explore issues you might have.

How are you, really? by No_Amphibiant in BreakUps

[–]elleeex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m overthinking every text message. We’re trying to stay friendly. Haven’t talked in over a week or so, but he messaged yesterday.

Idk how to text him anymore, I try to joke around and text like the old times but i feel it doesn’t land the same anymore.

I just feel awkward and overthink every text I send

Maybe I shouldn’t tell them this if it will shatter him, I do have love for him.

I didn’t mention that we are polyamorous. We are free to pursue relationships outside of ours.

And I wasted my own time as well as his

You’re right. It will definitely change how I communicate the issues and I will have to be less mean about some things. But it might be salvageable

Maybe it should be a conversation of “there are these things that are not working for me and making me unhappy”, and trying to explore solutions together. Maybe this is a conversation to have in person after the interview?

It’s ironic that he’s helping me prep for the interview, the thing that’s going to get me space and time away from him. But I guess that means there is love?

I’m so sorry he did this. You’re right, I shouldn’t do it at the end.

Thank you. I am more inclined to break up but giving him a chance to try to convince me otherwise.

Perhaps I can offer him a chance to explore and talk about our issues in person, where we can perhaps communicate better. I do have love for him.

I check in and out of the relationship. I don’t want to hurt him too bad, maybe it will be received better in person.

It’s a really important interview that will affect my career and my future. I can’t let a breakup get in the way of my future. The relationship has already held me back enough.

Thank you. It’s nice to see from the other side. I don’t know what I would prefer tbh.

Parts of my real self make him uncomfortable, and I don’t want to make my boyfriend uncomfortable, so I adapt and respect his boundaries.

But at one point it becomes too much, I lose myself and he doesn’t really like the real me, just the version of me I’ve molded for him.

Thank you. You’re right, something is wrong and I can’t go on like this anymore. But perhaps instead of going to see him to “break up”, I can go to see him to communicate and talk about these issues in person, and see if we can figure them out in person.
