Cheating Incident Discussion Thread

I never imagined someone could lie about a relationship. My first experience with infidelity was when I discovered I wasn't his only partner; he had been involved with another woman for five years, and she wanted to end it but he wouldn't agree. Despite his efforts to keep the relationship going, he alo flirted with me and others.

When I found out the truth, time seemed to stop, and I felt a cold sweat wash over me. I cared deeply for him, but my principles prevented me from stayying in an unhealthy stiuation, so I ended our communication.

This happened years ago, in 2022. Now, it's happening again-this time with someone else. We had been talking online for about a year when I found out he was also communicating with other girls while telling me we were exclusive and exchanging "I love you" messages.

Even though I tried to move on, I can't seem to forget him. He continues to say things that make me feel better or special, but it's clear his actions don't match his words. Lately, I've been crying for days, wanting to leave the relationship behind but finding it difficult.

Has anyone here experienced something similar? How did you manage to let go of a toxic relationship?
