Found out she cheated on me with her ex. Totally broken. (AMA)
When I first found out, it was literally a total shock. My exact thought was, "Angie could never do something like this." (Angie is just a name I’ve given to her). I trusted this girl so blindly.
To give some context, she was way too love deprived by her family and her past relationships. Because of that, I tried to provide all the emotional support I possibly could. Every single time she felt down, I was right there trying to cheer her up. I was always there for her, no matter what. We are actually in a 500km long-distance relationship, but since I work from home (WFH), I made it a point to travel to her place every single chance I got just to make things work.
But what did I get after doing so much for her? Nothing but betrayal.
I feel like such a fool right now for constantly ignoring all the red flags, just because I was madly in love with her. Turns out, she always had residual feelings for one of her exes. A guy who never gave her any attention or importance when she tried. But now, the moment he finally threw some attention her way, she just gave in and did this to me.
Honestly, you just can't justify cheating, no matter what the excuse is.
I have attached the screenshot of the final message I sent her before cutting things off.
Also, I wanted to ask you guys about something I noticed a few days ago. Right after someone cheats, do they generally tend to become way more affectionate and loving towards you? I felt that happening with her, probably because of the guilt kicking in so she tried to overcompensate. Has anyone else experienced or felt this pattern?
Just trying to process all of this right now.
Edit: Fun fact- The ex with whom she cheated on me is a member of this sub and replies frequently here.
