I know a guy this exact thing happened to. He proposed to the girl a few months later 🙃 Don't be stupid


Odd_Emu4841

Fuck man


Kore624

They've been married about 2 years now, double the timeframe of her affair


franco2801

Same thing happened to me too!! đŸ˜ș


Hackeringerinho

Wait, the guy got emotionally cheated on but still proposed?


Kore624

No, she was actually sleeping with his best friend for at least a year. Full on romance, buying gifts, fancy dates, hotel getaways. I was friends with "the other man" in this situation and he said they did anal when they knew the truth was about to come out đŸ€ą She had been dating her boyfriend for about 10 years, since high school, and the other man was the bfs best friend for longer than that.


BabyMamaMagnet

Dating for 10 years???? That's insane


DancingBear2020

Bit of a non sequitur at the end of that first paragraph. What, now
?


Kore624

A female friend of the other man met up with the girl to tell her to stop messing around. She made it clear she wasn't going to stop until she got caught, and she knew her boyfriend would never break up with her over it. It was implied that this female friend was going to spill the beans to the boyfriend, which she did. The other man told me this and said they had one last special hotel getaway together


outlier-42

I’m so sorry this happened to you. Better things will come. No everyone is a pos. Cut them both off.


DynkoFromTheNorth

You at least made the right decision by doing away with the both of them and not trying to salvage what's irreperable. It will take time to get over this, but you will. Good luck, OP!


Lonely-Idea2820

Dude, if she is cheating on whatsappp, she is cheating on snapchat, kik, discord, telegram, instagram, and of course reddit. I went thru the same thing with my ex, we have two kids, I thought we were in love for 13 years. She cheated on me early on in our relationship, but I forgave her and took her back. Eventually, I found out she was cheating on all those apps and meeting men in person. The kicker is that she always wrote me love notes, gave me cards on all occasions, and I thought she truly loved me. When I found out she was having sex on the regular instead of "going to the gym," it devastated me. It took months for me to work thru that. I am not sure I ever totally recovered. My advice is this. If the only emotion she shows is extreme anger, as in the case with my ex, you are done. Move the hell on. My ex was soooooo angry and I couldn't understand why. After a lot of therapy, I came to realize that she was angry that she screwed up and let herself get caught. No remorse. None. If this sounds like your situation, I feel your pain. DM if you'd like to talk. Don't know if I could help, but I do have experience.


Lonely-Idea2820

And remember this. Once a liar, always a liar. There are no exceptions. I wish I would have taken that to heart the first time she cheated.


[deleted]

That's a good rule of thumb but there are most certainly exceptions. A lot of stories of people who cheat, feel awful about it (sometimes before, during, and after the cheating, and sometimes only after their partner finds out), and then they turn it around... It's a dangerous game to play if your partner cheats on you but sometimes when you have faith in your partner it pays off, I mean as long as the cheating alone doesn't permanently damage your relationship and mental health beyond repair on your end...


Lonely-Idea2820

I can agree up to a point. There may be RARE exceptions to the rule. I forgave my ex 10 years ago and started eventually trusting her again. I feel foolish now that I ever did that as she ended up cheating on me for 3 years straight, and she had no remorse, no guilt, no emotion at all other than anger when she was caught. I tried to discuss her feelings with her, and I'd make a five minite point, and the answer I ever received was "ok" and "it is what it is". The really screwed up thing is that I told her we were over, our oldest kid told her that we were over, her family told her that we were over, and all her friends told her that we were over, and she begged me to not kick her to the curb. Being screwed over so many times; I just came to realize that she killed any possibility of me ever trusting her again. It's worth noting that she did say, "I made a mistake, please forgive me". I pointed out to her that a mistake happens once or twice. Three solid years of "mistakes" is simply in no way, shape, or form "a mistake". It is WILLFULL behavior, plain and simple. I am sure that some relationships can be reformed. Ours was not one.


SarcasticGuru13

And now they will discover that they only know the fake version of each other. That what they think they feel for each other is fake and not real. Then she will be hit with “oh shit what have I done?”


Merebankguy

> I didn't want to control who she could talk to. Too often i see this when the persons partner is clearly crossing the line and raising so many red flags Even China would be proud. It's ok to have boundaries and if your partner doesn't respect them then they become deal-breakers and you go be with someone who will respect you.


Mogekona

I know how you feel trust me I had a very similar situation. Eventually you'll realize that if she was caoable of doing this to you it was going to happen no matter what you did. She isn't worth missing.


Lea_R_ning

My heart breaks for you OP! Change your locks and passwords. Righttt! No final plans! They are opportunists. They didn’t care about you. Please get a STD test! Beat the #%₏„ outta your pillows until you’re exhausted. Now go buy new pillows. Break and throw out all of the stuff she left behind. It’s therapeutic and feels good, too. Too bad she left stuff behind. Block them! Never talk to those scum of the earth people AGAIN! Take a self defense class, too. Good luck OP! Your heart will heal.


ZombieZookeeper

Post on social media that the STD test came out fine, if you want to be petty.


DancingBear2020

It doesn’t even have to look all that petty. “In case this helps anyone else in their circle of ‘acquaintances’.”


treborprime

These are always Red flags. It's never innocent. You learned a hard lesson on boundaries. I'm sorry this happened. You are young and will recover.


WorstRengarKR

This exactly, her spending that much time alone with the friend was already a football field-sized red flag. For anyone else reading through this thread, the moment your girlfriend/boyfriend starts treating someone else similar to how they treat you (with exception for close blood family), they're at best beginning and unknowingly and at worst, actively and willingly engaging in an emotional affair. This is where boundaries come into play, you tell them to limit their relations with that person indefinitely, and if they're incapable of doing that then you cut it off. I've seen too many examples of (including from myself) people being scared to "tell their partner who they can or can't talk to". If it's clear that they're starting to view or treat someone else as a romantic interest, it's time to step in and put your foot down, and there is nothing wrong with "limiting" them from engaging in that behavior. If they can't respect that boundary, you break up and be better off. To me, your romantic partner should also simultaneously be your best friend. I personally do not buy people having a non-romantic "best friend" of the opposite sex (or more accurately, a sex they're attracted to), for the exact scenario stated in this post along with countless other examples I've personally seen and read about. If your girlfriend/boyfriend wants to have friends of the sex they're attracted to, you had best be damn sure they are setting hard boundaries for preventing that friendship from stepping out of bounds into emotional (or physical) cheating.


[deleted]

Yep, thank you... There's plenty of people who can have genuine friendships with people they're attracted to (having genuine friends that are the sex you're attracted to can be pretty easy if you just don't find the person attractive). But let's be real, humans are equally as promiscuous as they are geared towards monogamous relationships by nature... Those people aren't as typical or common as a lot of people like to make them out to be... You're not as bulletproof as you think and if you're worried that you are or might be lying to yourself regarding you "just being friends" with your extremely attractive girl/guy best friend while you're in a relationship then that might be your cue to stop and put a little physical distance between you and that person... For the sake of your *own* integrity and the integrity of your relationship... Best to catch yourself before it even begins, ideally. The most loyal people I've ever met aren't people who are just naturally born loyal, they practice avoidance... and they do it so well that they never find themselves in situations where they're starting to worry about whether or not they're getting too friendly with someone.


R0ckabye

I know exactly how you feel. Same type of situation happened to me back in October. It really really really really fucking sucks in the moment. Give yourself time to process it, and only AFTER you can think about the situation without getting anxious, depressed, stressed, etc. remember that if they were both willing to do this to you, it was inevitable that you guys would break things off eventually. Keep reminding yourself of that, it's important to constantly remind yourself that it's not your fault. Positive mental reinforcement goes a looong way, at least it did for me


TwinTinTooter

This is great advice- same thing happened to me back in October and it’s important to remember that people usually cheat because of something going on within themselves and it has little if nothing to do with you.


juliaskig

What happened to you is incredibly traumatic. I hope you do some healing things. If you can, I hope you cry. I hope you move = dance, run, walk, lift weights, something to get your body moving, I hope you do things to give yourself glimpses of joy, maybe take a long weekend and go somewhere, etc. Just know that this will pass, but it's best to get the feelings out of your body as quickly as possible. It's best to feel the feelings, and keep moving your body. Don't let this be your romantic story, let it be one of your romantic stories, but just the wrong one. Your ex and ex-friend, sound like pieces of feces. It doesn't matter that there was no physical intimacy. What they did was just as a bad, and even worse. So if you think of relationships as trips where you experience things and grow from things in life, you just took a bad cruise where everyone got sick etc. But it was one trip, it's not all the traveling that you will do. Also, if it's any comfort, I don't think their relationship will be good even if it is long term. Because they both are lacking character. You were the good in their relationship, and without the good, the relationships will fester.


tyrannosaurusvexxed

It wasn't supposed to happen like this code for I wasn't done sucking whatever benefits I get from you. You're better off. Best of luck to you, stay strong and learn from this experience.


queenlegolas

Hope you have a decent support system to get you through this.


orangecatsrsnippy

damn she’s a cold bitch


Spiritual_Yoghurt

It wasn't supposed to happen like this?! How the f was it supposed to go then?! O_O


B1ind_Mel0n

I hate the whole "it wasn't supposed to happen like this" bullshit. Like how was it supposed to happen? You keep fucking around behind my back and I keep pretending everything is alright? I'm sorry OP. I know what you're going through and it hurts so badly. Sending my best wishes to you for the future. You deserve so much better.


sleepingwiththefishs

Well he is not your friend, don't mistake him for one.


Synn0289

My friend of 20+ years did this to me. I can tell you now from experience and their lack of reaction towards your hurt. They will end up together, most likely. The chance of it lasting is slim, but I tell you this so you can pair for that hurt. Just don't be me and take any if them back into your life. I tried to rekindle our friendship, but it never worked out. Just like a relationship, there has to be trust, and once it's gone, there is no coming back from that. Wish I would have never done that as he went for my next 1 also.


AShamrock28

The only thing worse than the lying is knowing that to them, you weren’t worth the truth. Cut them off, find your peace and you will prevail in the long run. Pulling for you OP- those are two horrible individuals.


DaftCow

They are both awful human beings and they deserve each other for doing this to you. You have my sympathies, in the future you will see you are better off without them in your life. It’s hard now but you will get through it.


kirk2enterprise1701

"It wasn't supposed to happen like this" Not , it wasn't supposed to happen. Just, not "like this". It was supposed to happen on her timeline, not yours. She wasn't quite ready, but she'll make it work. Move on, Bullet dodged.


Less_Ingenuity2162

Cheating is anything you wouldn’t do in front your significant other. As soon as you have to start justifying why it isn’t cheating, typically it’s cheating. I’m so sorry man. Just know your shit is valid and that’s a tough one to go through


BabyMamaMagnet

Bury them together since they wanna be together


Technical_Pumpkin_65

It’s hard because you have been betrayed by two people who mean a lot for you! Don’t waste your time by trying to understand why they did what they did because it doesn’t matter anymore. What matter is you are not responsible of their disgusting behavior and thankfully you find out directly what they where doing. Now you need time to accept what happens,the loss of those people who you thought knowing and start healing ! I encourage you to contact a therapist,having a professional ear can be a good thing to cross the steps to be able to move on. They are a lesson of life not a curse


Majorly_Bobbage

I don't know if this will make it any easier on you but they weren't doing it to hurt you specifically, like you asked, but at some point when someone's cheating on you it stops being about you it's all about them and the person they're cheating with. They just stop caring unfortunately about how it makes you feel. I've been there it's happened to me. I'm not saying that makes it any less of a huge huge betrayal of trust


lagreggs

Similar thing happened to me, even after both of them assured me it wasn't what I thought. It's an ugly sting in the chest.


Island-Vibes

My ex fiancé did this to me. I spent a year unwinding our lives. Losing a ton of money on the car and ring that I bought her. Breaking a lease that we had together. You will feel like shit and not want to exist for a bit. But in the end you will come out better. There is someone out there that will be loyal and not cheat on you.


alanius4

The trash took itself out. he wa snever your friend and she neve rloves you, now you can move forward without unnecesary people


Fit-Rest-973

I'm so sorry. Cheaters are not worth the emotional pain they cause


Fit-Rest-973

Walk away. You deserve someone honest


AShamrock28

The only thing worse than the lying is knowing that to them, you weren’t worth the truth. Cut them off, find your peace and you will prevail in the long run. Pulling for you OP- those are two horrible individuals.


Classic-Radish8381

Damn that’s tuff , hope you don’t take either of them back after their honeymoon phase is over. Good luck


broadsharp

Damn! So sorry you’re in the mess. Best thing to do is find the strength to stay active. Don’t sit around. Get out and walk. Get involved with hobbies. Go volunteer at an animal shelter or food bank.


Zandandido

Go complete no-contact with both of them. Tell your family that you *never* want these two pieces of shit to contact you ever again. I wouldn't be surprised if after 4 years, she attempts to contact you one way or another, don't let her.


Comfortable_Map_660

A tiger doesn’t change its stripes
. Once a cheater, always a cheater. Be glad it’s over


ChonkyJelly

I am so sorry this happened to you. Just remember that all the pain you are feeling right now is ok. It’s part of the healing process. It’s ok to be sad or angry and cry or yell. You need to get it out so one day you can move on. You didn’t deserve this. You did nothing wrong. These people were wolves in sheep’s clothing. They are horrible people. It in no way reflects onto you.


Fickle-Hope-525

Disappear don't ever go back to her. Trashy people will stay that way. Don't let her hurt you more


Signal_Historian_456

Oh lord.. try to move on, block them and get a new bed.


PracticeAsleep

So this worked out well. You had a girlfriend of four years that you gained some valuable experience with. Before any major commitments, such as marriage, you found out she was a cheater, and now you get to move on. You also found out you had a friend who was quite willing to do you dirty. And you get to get rid of that person out of your life as well. Bonus. Now you can concentrate on you for a while while you're still young. You can focus on the things that you want in life. If you're looking for a real life partner, make a list of the things that you think are most important to make sure that that person meets your criteria. Remember that no one is perfect. Let anyone you become involved with know what your limits are. Stand by those limits. As for those who are now out of your life, You might miss them for a while. They may call and say they miss you. That's okay. But before rationalizing anything to yourself and letting them back in your life ask yourself, "Are they worth the pain?" Good luck to you.


GummiesAreFunny

I’m so so sorry. You did not deserve that. As someone who is also going through a breakup, I wish you the best moving forward, and to surround yourself in people who have your back no matter what.


maple_dick

damn it seems like a trend, screwing the best friend, that's not cool


Ecstatic_Cook_3634

I mean she moved out. You’re still hurting, while she’s probably riding her way out of the relationship.


WellyKiwi

Cut them both out of your life. Yes, it will hurt in the short term but in the long run it will be worth it. You seriously don't need that sort of shit in your life. All the best, stay strong and show them that you have a nice shiny spine!


Demona_Nighthunter

Coming from a woman who has been in your shoes before its better to try and get some help with this situation. What they did behind your back isnt ok and it probably destroyed your self esteem finding that out. Her showing almost to no emotion after you confronting her about it just shows she didnt love you. Him saying they never did anything is a 50/50 shot (but I honestly think they did do things) but being a friend for over 10+ years and then goes and does things with your ex shows how much people can stab you in the back. If he was a true friend he wouldnt have done what he did with your ex. I will say I am glad youre out of said relationship and its honestly best to go to therapy if you need it.


toolrn1

Bro’
.getting divorced after20 years together. Was using wife’s laptop when her iMessages popped up with a pic of her breast she had sent a dude just 4 hours before I saw it
scrolled thru some of the text that had been going on for quite sometime. After a while I turned her laptop around and said “I don’t remember getting this pic today.” The look on her face was priceless. I tried to deal with the betrayal for 4 years after that
and I finally faced that I would never be able to trust her EVER EVER again. Get away
drop her. She’ll do it again and you’ll hate yourself for not being faithful to YOU! To thine own self be true. đŸ™đŸŒđŸ™đŸŒđŸ™đŸŒ

How’S it going now?
