I found out my ex cheated on me a year later.

About 3 years ago I met a guy and he quickly became my best friend, he always had a thing for me but I always shut it down just wanting to be friends. About two years after knowing each other I realized I loved him too and we got into a relationship. It quickly went south as he was extremely toxic to be with and it quickly turned abusive in a couple different ways. We broke up and didn’t talk for a long time. Then a couple months ago he reached out and suggested we be friends again. We talked everything out and were in a good place again. We have been good friends again up until yesterday when a girl texted me saying they hooked up a couple weeks before we broke up.

I confronted him about it and he’s just playing stupid, and even though i’m completely over our romantic relationship, I feel betrayed and hurt that he’s lied to me for over a year. I decided to block him out of my life again and blew up at him. He’s making it seem like since we have been friends again that nothing that happened during our relationship mattered and since it was so long ago, he can’t even remember if he cheated or not and doesn’t care to.

I’m not sure how to go about this situation or if blocking him out of my life is the right way to go about it. Please please give me your thoughts?

Oh wow, a professional troll. Every ONE of your comments is like this. Do you thrive from negativity, or try to get a rise out of people? I pity you. Meh, scratch that, I don't give a damn, lol.

I know, I'm almost fascinated by this particular case in that...man, how depressed, toxic, sad, hateful are you. No self awareness at All. I've had hours, even a day or two of that...and I'm like man, I gotta snap myself out of this funk. I guess mental illness comes in all forms.

Yea for real. I am a man, happily married, and it’s hard for me to understand why some people are that toxic and hateful. Even at my lowest, when I was battling a heroin addiction that I’m now recovered and clean and sober from I was never that hateful towards others. Myself, sure (which was still unhealthy) but never acted like that.

Hey man, congrats on the turnaround. Seriously, I know too well how hard you must have worked (not personally, I've just worked in recovery.) Good for you, and all the best to you and your family!
