I have been in a relationship for 7 years. I have 2 sons aged 10 and 13 from a previous relationship. At first I thought he was the real thing, he said he couldn’t lie and would never cheat. At the start it seemed to be things like him liking Facebook profiles ( usually of women with hardly any clothes on), while it made me jealous , I accepted it, I had nagging doubts as we had met on a dating site that he was still on them so I logged on under a different name and there he was. With hindsight I should have ended the relationship then but he said he wouldn’t do it again. To cut a long story short I’ve had a rough few years losing a parent to cancer and suffering depression. I have throughout the years found him on dating sites upwards of 30 times. The last time I found out he was upto something was a search on his phone for dirty kik women and cam girls. I feel very sad that I have wasted the most precious years of my sons lives with him, I also feel bitter because my dad hated him and didn’t want me with him and he died without it being resolved. Now I’m in a situation where I have no confidence at all, the cheater is full of confidence. I keep thinking well it was a year ago since I found him upto something, maybe he’s changed?, I’m so mixed up. When I tried to end it a month ago, and he was looking for flats I was in an awful state, my anxiety was sky high at the thought of him going, which I can’t understand after all he’s done. Am I over reacting about the cam girls ?, also the day after my dad died , he went out to see his family, while my world had ended. I just don’t know what to do anymore, anyone who takes the time and effort to reply I thank you. I can’t understand why the logical part of my brain is saying get rid yet I can’t

@Booloo123,
The anxiety, depression and hurt feelings are all perfectly normal and healthy. You've established boundaries that keep getting pushed to the limit. You've already made the decision to break up and have doubts if that's the right thing to do.

Yes.

Yes it is the right thing to do.

Why? It's as simple as you're not happy and are taking corrective steps to better your life and have a good relationship with yourself. No more self doubts, clingy behavior or allowing someone else to dictate to you how your life will go.

Yes, it's going to hurt for awhile. Not gonna lie about that. But, it does get easier, knowing you've actively taken control of what you want versus what you don't.

Become the person you want to be.
