Resolved Question

My boyfriend cheated on me. He does not know that I know. Should I tell him?

Someone sent me an e-mail exchange he had with one of his best friends the day after. I don't know who "helped me", but it crushed me.
From the e-mails I could tell that he called a girl to meet up for drinks, she invited him to her home and they had sex after sharing three bottles of wine. She told him that she only dates married men. So he spent the night at her place and stayed for breakfast, shower and another round of sex. The following day "her ass was all over his mind" as he was trying to focus on work. He does not know that I've read these e-mails. I will see him tomorrow (I've been out of town this week) and we'll go on holidays. Nothing like this has ever happened to me before. We have been together for only two months but we've gotten closer than I could imagine. I'm not prepared to let him go, he was/is my future. He is always telling me how much he hates infidelity and that two of his exes cheated on him. I would never be able to do such a thing, but obviously he is.

The obvious answer is to give him the emails and then leave him. That being said, you've explicitly stated that you are not ready to let him go. I don't know how long you've known about this betrayal but maybe you should give yourself some time to adjust to the idea. Even though you feel like you don't want to let him go, I have a suspicion you won't feel that way for long nor will you be able to keep it quiet for long. Print out the emails and have them on hand for when you're ready to confront him. I take it you haven't seen him since you found out so seeing him will make everything clear to you.

softkitti	Posted Aug 21st, 2009 at 1:45PM Sometimes the best things to do for yourself are also the hardest. Yes you love him , yes you did not cheat . But does he love you, did he cheat on you. Was he thinking of you when hewas having sex with this women , when he was planning it, from the beginning of this affair when it started with a look , a flirt, a kiss and a little more? No he wasnt . The question isnt how much does he love you , the question is how much do you love yourself , do you think your worth finding someone who will be faithful and love only you . Or your just worth a man that has lied to you and will lie to you again . I really hope things work out for you how ever it goes life is to short not to be loved and to love in return truly Rated: +2Vote for this!
