Do not talk to me about ethical non monogamy just cheat on your partners like normal people

I have not, but I know how I would handle it, and it would require a lawyer and lots of paperwork.
I’m not saying that’s right in every situation, but imo cheating creates irreversible damage.

I did. The girl messaged me. I called him out on it and he gave the “she’s lying, she’s crazy” speech and I bought it at first but we ultimately ended up breaking up. Please dump them. If I could do it over again (depends on your situation) I would mail them the screenshots and block them and ghost them. These people don’t change. Just my two cents.

Stop Bing desperate Tee!

I saw some great advice the other day.
First of all, overcome that emotion and identify if you want to maintain that relationship or not and if there is some liabilities - house , kids, financial.
If you don’t want to maintain the partnership, get ALL your legal facts and paperwork in check before confronting them with it. This gives you a position of power and makes yourself feel better to stand on facts and knowing where the law stands.
Then , proceed with doing what needs to be done and moving on to the next chapter if that’s what you wish.

How did you find out ?

Extra marital affair or any other things?

Yes, I have caught my ex cheating on me. Although, he was a very jealous guy. We both worked for a traveling company and stayed at an hotel for a few weeks. Another competitive sales company stayed at the same hotel as well. One day I got in the elevator with him a woman from the other company got in the elevator as well. I noticed he was acting weird and nervous. I never asked him about it and left it alone. One day on my way back to the hotel after a sales event, an old colleague/ friend from my previous job called me to give me an update about Reorg. I spoke to the colleague during the car ride while my ex was sitting next to me he heard the entire conversation and there was nothing inappropriate about it. I noticed he looked very upset. When we got to the hotel we both went to our separate rooms like we normally do and then we would meet up later. When It was time to meet up I called him several times his phone kept going to voicemail. I called his hotel room, his roommate said he wasn't there. I went to his room to confirm that he wasn't ignoring me, his roommate opened the door and he wasn't there. A couple hours later I got worried and walked around the hotel and asked our colleagues if they have seen him. One of our colleagues said that he saw him earlier with his other girlfriend. I was heartbroken and had no idea that he was cheating on me. I asked him if he knew the room number the woman was staying at and he told me. I knocked on that door, the same woman that had gotten in the elevator that day opened the door and had lingerie on. She wasn't surprised that I knocked on the door. She knew exactly who I was. I asked for my ex and she said he was laying down. She let me in the room and my ex was half naked and jumped out of the bed and chase me around the hotel. He denied cheating on me and tried to gaslight me. I was so humiliated and heartbroken. I took a leave of absence at work for a few weeks. I returned back to work he begged me to take him back, I was so dumb and got back with him. He spent a year making up for his wrongs. He went home to visit his family and cheated again. I broke up with him and dated him again two years later.

No, I left the job he wanted to do long distance relationship, I agreed to it for a while. Eventually, I broke up with him.

I am married now and have been with my husband for 11 years. I am glad my husband is not a cheater.

Do you think you and your significant other should have similar personalities? My significant other and I are doing long distance and I feel like when I FaceTime with him, I emote more and show interest by asking more questions but from his end, he doesn’t always have a reaction or just nods, and it makes me feel like he’s uninterested. On his end he sees it as he’s comfortable.

Question about inclusion….

While I see the point of putting them together for convenience, I don’t agree with this at all! To me this is like singling them out by putting them all together instead of INCLUDED amongst peers. What do y’all think?
