My ex appeared in the "are we dating the same guy" group and the comments in there were astounding. Found out he was sexting another girl while we were together, and also had a FWB while we were supposed to be exclusive. I'm in shock at how much he lied to me over the year that we were together.

And then I talked to the girl he dated right after me and he never once mentioned me. They talked about a bunch of other people that he dated, but he lied about when his last relationship ended 1/

literally 2 days before his first date with the new girl, and they dated for a few months. They broke up for the same reasons we did- he drinks too much (literally beers as soon as he wakes up in the morning) and lack of motivation/consistency in making plans.

And yet I still my best friend and all of our late night conversations. Starting to lose faith that I will find another best friend, but also now realize that a true "best friend" wouldn't lie to me for months on end lol.

Why do we always tell people “Be the best version of yourself before starting a relationship?”
I feel this is wrong…first, if you’re someone who constantly wants to be better, this doesn’t work. Also, what happens when you’re going through things and you’re not the best version? What happens is…the going gets tough and then one person leaves the other.

He’s not willing to commit to the other women because he’s not over me.

I don’t understand how someone can lie about loving you for 6 months. We were together for almost a year (broke up a week before our anniversary). I said I love you first and he said it back. I asked for more reassurance last month with saying I love you more often. Now all of a sudden he said he didn’t know if he loved me and that love meant marriage for him. Okay well great thanks for telling me this now, 6 months after it was initially exchanged. I don’t understand how he could do that.
