what a jerk.
darling, i don't understand how you can say that everything is awesome. similarly, i don't understand how you can say that you have a gut feeling when there is enough evidence before you to fill an entire season of Colombo episodes.
what else would it take for you to accept the situation? a movie about it? he's decidedly not a nice guy. he's decidedly not the guy you thought he was or the guy you want him to be.
let me spell it out for you. he's c-h-e-a-t-i-n-g. he's also lying about it. that makes him a cheater, a manipulator and a l-i-a-r.
i'd much rather be single than with a gorilla like him, 100 times out of 100. maybe you don't think he's a gorilla because he can send you sweet texts and you have fun in bed. maybe he plays the piano and he's on the football team. he's still a gorilla doing all of those things. no, not a gorilla... a baboon.
i feel bad that you wasted your time having to type all of that out. there's no question about what you should do. zero.
1. leave him. period. forever. don't let him hold you back, and don't let him waste any more of your precious time. he's only going to keep loosening the screws on the faith you have in yourself.
2. go get tested for STDs. all of them. he's been sleeping around, and he hasn't been wearing condoms with you. just because he's been carrying condoms doesn't mean he let a couple of times slide by.
3. the next time you find that kind of evidence, you don't let it drag out until he's finished sleeping with everything but the kitchen sink.
4. you need to check your self esteem. between this post and your AS thread, it looks like you're willing to put up with an unbelievable amount of garbage. his demeaning behaviors are one thing. the way you handle yourself in front of them is totally about you. you deserve more self respect. you need to treat yourself with more respect, and you need to teach others to do the same.
i read this thread after this one:
https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/adult-...-277426-3.html. there are so many very bad things going on because of his actions and your allowance of them.
you seem like a very sweet, caring and innocent girl. that's wonderful. but you can't let people take advantage of you because you're naive. stand up for yourself, believe in yourself, and let the fray crumble in your wake.
if you were my little sister, this is exactly what i'd be telling you. you might not like the things i've said, and you might not agree with all of them. that's okay. i think you just need a big, bright, shiny reality check. it's only being said with your best interests at heart. i really do hope the best for you. i know this has got to be very painful and very difficult. if he's your first "love," i know it can feel especially tough inside. but sometimes you just have to tear the band aid off in one swift gesture. protect your body, your heart and your mind. throw this one back in the pond where he belongs.
