My boyfriend cheated on me, what should I do?

I been with my guy 6 years we are not living together because alot reasons a lot red flags. We been having a lot fights about me not answering his calls or texts right away because I am at work and sometimes I am in meetings. Anyways up and down but we always talked about it and then we are good again. I just found out he was cheating with this young girl and he got caught and she works at my job so I called him and confronted him but he denied it all she texted me and send me pictures of him and her and a video and he is there now he is begging me to put everything behind and my head is saying no I can’t but my hearts is saying him another chance. I don’t know what to do I am confused because this has never happen to me. He is 52 and the girl he cheated with she is 24.

My momma told me once a cheater. Always a cheater. And I have seen over and over again around me. You have to set your value… but for me…its zero tolerance. I told my now husband when we committed that I was zero tolerance… and he believed me. WE have been together 25 years but if he cheats tomorrow, I am gone. I respect and love myself too much. You deserve better but you have to believe it.
Leave and work on yourself…you shouldn’t even have to ask a question like this. honestly being with someone 6 years and no next step means time to move on anyways. Relationships should progress or someone will be cheated in the end

No way, no how, RUN…

Don’t let him believe that’s ok. Tell him it’s over. He will do it again.

I’d break off the relationship, no way I’d tolerate a cheater.

Leave, he won’t stop

If you have a lot of red flags and this cheating is just the icing on the cake, I’d say it’s time to move on. He’s obviously not trying to settle down with you or there wouldn’t be so many things not going right. Let the 24 year old have him and find someone else.

He couldn’t even admit it when you knew the truth. Leave.

Is this a trick question?? Repeat to yourself he cheated on you. Answer is right there on front of you.

DUECES .
You’re a queen, take yo chit and be OUTTT.

Once a cheater always a cheater, speaking on experience here girl. Just because you love him doesn’t mean he loves you back, clearly his actions speak otherwise. He will just get better at hiding it next time if you stay with him, this is a promise. Know your worth and leave. Allow yourself to grieve the loss of the relationship and move on. You deserve better.

What a looser her is! Dump him and run!

Listen tob your gutt. Love yourself. Leave him

If he hasn’t learned how to respect a woman by the age of 52, home boy never will. He’s a lost cause and “men” like that will have you questioning everything, even yourself. You deserve better. Even the girl he cheated with deserves better, and she’s a skank :woman_shrugging:

Get somewhere safe where you can process what has happened to you. Get away from him. Do not allow him access to you in ANY Way Shape or Form. Realize your worth. Create boundaries. (Yes or No) to what you allow in your life. Say goodbye in whichever way you deem necessary and move on. Start over. Have morals and values and stick to them. You’ll be officially physically and emotionally sick for some time. Keep working through your emotions in a safe place. Stand up for yourself in a positive way. There are a lot of people here for you to talk to if you feel alone. You’ve got this!!!

You don’t have time in life to wait for people to value you. Someone who truly loves you won’t cheat. I cheated I didn’t love the person I live with guilt and I never cheated again because the next guy I truly loved and knew I could never betray them. You can’t love someone and betray them and disrespect them and say but I messed up… there’s no going back from cheating.

I mean you knew before he cheated there was red flags :woman_shrugging: and yet you chose to stay this whole time. Nobody can make the choice for you to leave, you’re still going to do what ever it is you choose to do. At this point you’re either going to leave or keep dealing with it

Be glad this happened before you moved in together or got married. If he was happy in your relationship he wouldn’t of cheated on you. Dump him now you can do better.

It’s the first you know of. Do what you want, but I would think hard & long before I would. You said yourself you haven’t been getting along.

He’d still be cheating if he hadn’t been caught. He did it with YOUR coworker. He had ZERO respect for you. You know the answer to your question.

Leave his ass behind tell him to leave u alone a d get a new phone number . Sounds like a huge red flag and sounds like a narcissist.

Why is this a question? Leave, he won’t change, you can’t make him change. If he wanted to change he’d make an effort too which he clearly isn’t doing.

You answered your own question beauty . :purple_heart:Love yourself enough to remove you from the equation. Feed that love you’re giving to you and those who appreciate and respect you . Your worth the effort . Once someone cheats it’s so hard to move on and it will always be sitting at the back of your head which robs you peace of mind . It’s your choice but I hope you see your worth and don’t let him play again . Love you always :purple_heart:

Sounds like you’ve already made up your mind, why are you needing strangers confirmation to get rid of the miserable situation??

I would bet it’s not the first time he has cheated on you…6yrs…you don’t live together and you fight frequently…yeah, this is just the first time you have caught him. I’m sorry but you need to run as fast as you can…

Tell him he’s history!

Leave for your own mental wellbeing.

She’s as stupid as he is

age does NOT matter!!! He WILL do it again !!!

Why is it even a question???

In your heart, you already know what you need to do. It’s time to move on love.

I don’t think he sounds like a winner, honestly hon you can do better. It sounds to me he has some issues to work through before he is going to be any kind of man material worth being around… move on, you’ll be better off

Start fresh. It’ll hurt but u need this

Obviously if there are red flags run :running_woman: now u know the truth about him another woman what more is there for you to stay with a cheater

Leave as much as it hurts :broken_heart: an breaks your heart leave
