Today, my heart broke. The love of my life hung out with another girl, knowingly behind my back while I was working the graveyard shift. This had been planned for weeks and I've known they've been friends for years, and even have asked to meet her before. But instead of inviting me to have dinner and meet her, he instead goes out to dinner with her and she came over to our house after for drinks and video games.
When I came home that next morning, I saw a little bit of a mess by the video games and some beer that was bought. I asked him "oh did your guy friend (let's call him Chase) come over?" "Yeah he came by for a little bit last night". So I thought nothing of it. But something, deep down inside of me told me to do something I usually never EVER would do. I went through his phone. He had recently switched phones and left his old one on the night stand. I was watching TV and just thought I should look. I don't know what made me look. I don't. Call it woman's intuition... well now call it total and complete heart break.
Texts going back a few months... I couldn't go past the pictures she sent him wearing only a bikini. Her saying "I know I shouldn't send you these because they are sexy hehe". And he just accepts them. Didn't stop her.
The one that truly broke my heart was them "joking" about if she lived here, that he would be going after her. He said "well maybe if you lived here I would". Ouch. The day that they hung out, he texted her as soon as he walked out the door from kissing me goodbye. I believe he even asked if I worked that night.
When I asked him about it all, he said nothing happened and they joke around with stuff like that "all the time" and I wasn't meant to see that or hurt me. But fuck it did hurt. I haven't cried this much since I lost my uncle to cancer.
I told him she's a home wrecker for sending him bikini pictures knowing we're together, and he just defended her down to the last word. He said he would be more careful about how he talks to her... but I don't know. There's not a single person besides my boyfriend that I would ever say those things to or send bikini pics to. (They also joked about having kids and being in a polygamist relationship with me) And he lied! Straight to my face about having her over the house. He said he didn't want things to be "awkward" if we had met because he thought I didn't like her. What if someone saw them out together? What the fuck would he have done then?!?
I'm just so completely heart broken right now. I wanted to start a family with him. I tell this man EVERYTHING that happens in my life. And I couldn't meet his good friend that he's had for years??? He picks one of the three nights I work all night to meet up with her and have dinner?!
And he didn't even try to fix things. He was almost angry. Yeah I was a little bit of a bitch to go thru your phone but hey buddy YOURE wrong here, not me.
I don't know what the fuck to do. I don't know what the fuck to say. I want to run away. I want to get this numbness out of my body. I just can't deal with this right now. I needed to vent. I want to work things out but the trust is gone. I can't look at him without wanting to cry. I would never do this to you. How could you do this to me?

Sounds like self-esteem issues

1. dump his ass. 2. look at yourself - it's not ok to go through someone's phone, it's a sign of abuse.
bedbird
It'll never be the same again. Pack your shit and move on before you talk yourself into accepting this behaviour.
nikolaiswartz2
I hate your username because half of it is not true
TriSarahtops1228
Listen to me @OP, I know it hurts, and it will suck for a while, but get rid of his ass! Everything you said are pretty serious red flags.
Om4Infinity
Tooooo MANY ????????????????????????????????????????✂️????‼️‼️‼️
Rendrassa
You deserve better. Get out of this now while you don't have anything (like kids) tying you together. I know it'll hurt, but trust us.
ASentientToaster
Break up with him because it is not going to get better.
Frotality
The obvious lesson here: lock your fucking phone, dumbass (him not you, duh). Obviously you're not so insecure as to ignore the giant 1/2
Frotality
Glowing red flag in this relationship just to technically have somebody, right? ... right?!

Sorry :/
whiskyfunk
So are you single?
CharlesFuckingBronson
"Yeah I was a little bit of a bitch to go thru your phone but hey buddy YOURE wrong here, not me." It can be both.
limonchiki
That´s shitty of him. Dump him - defending her for sending sexy pictures is a dick move.
iReportStuffYouJackOffTo
begone with him. don't waste time on people who don't treat you right
trickatrev
I had a good friend who was a girl once. Knew her my whole life. Quit talking to her when i got into a serious relationship.
Thisisnotreallymyname
Seems he doesn't respect your boundaries and is aware of it (else he wouldn't have hidden it). Might be wise to reevaluate your relationship
fsm4president
Time for someone new, that's not a problem that he'll grow out of
NurseSlacky
You're his safety plan until he can be with her. Get out!
cowboybeepbeep
Where there's smoke, there's fire. Personally, I don't believe in second chances, split and move on.

My dad always said "Don't go looking for something if you don't want to it"
Brokenheartedloser
But if I didn't, I wouldn't have known
puppiesarepoopers
you'd have found out eventually. it's wrong to snoop but you saved yourself more agony this way.
doclivingston
Just guessing off the name, you're internalizing this badly. His bs is about him, not you. The pain will heal, just pick a better guy next.
Brokenheartedloser
I was thinking of a song by Brand New. I'm not sure what I'm going to do
doclivingston
Ah. A broken heart makes sense temporarily tho it's not the end of the world. Just didn't think labeling yourself a loser made any sense.
Brokenheartedloser
I was trying to think of a good name on the spot, since this is my throw away account
hybrid572
He's an ass.
pineapplesaremything
He will feel bad down the road. Trust me.
unknownmale
well you're both wrong... but he's more wrong than you so who's on the lease?
Brokenheartedloser
His house, all of my stuff
unknownmale
personally I'd move out if my gf did that and bring all my possesions
TriSarahtops1228
Get rid of him
ThisJennarationThough
Cut it out now or it'll be harder to get out of. He won't change-just maybe a different girl. Best of luck. You'll get through this.
ZakalweJ
For sure. Going through an SO's phone is generally a bad idea but honestly sounds like she saved herself some time and trouble here.
EncourageMint
Yes drag his ass
Rikkom
And only slash 3 tires!... wait, I feel like I said that already
Rikkom
Wait no, wasn't this post. All is good!
doclivingston
As someone who celebrated last Mother's Day by finding someone slashed two of my car's tires: PLEASE DON'T ENCOURAGE PEOPLE TO SLASH TIRES.
Rikkom
I only encourage people to do it to those who deserve it. I am sorry you had to spend Mother's Day dealing with tires

My first bf got fired from his job because he was taking pics of women. I was angry but wanted it to work. That was my red flag and I (1/2)
puppiesarepoopers
with their knowledge I hope?
DameJudyDorian
Well, he did get fired so...
DameJudyDorian
Missed it. First of many. All that I ignored to make it work because I loved him. Those were the red flags. This is yours. Best of luck.
TheTastiestTampon
He was careless with something precious- your relationship. He didn't cheat, but it shows you that you all don't value it the same amount.
Brokenheartedloser
I'm going to write this down. This is exactly how I feel.
TheTastiestTampon
Glad I could help. Good luck- I was told once, almost verbatim, this same thing. It was a real wake up.
MrsBestla27
He's trying to have his cake plus eat it. It's an ego boost for both parties.
Brokenheartedloser
That's exactly it. I appreciate everyone's comments. I'm going to write a lot of what you've guys said and say them to him. I have a hard
Brokenheartedloser
Time saying how I feel. If I have notes to look at it's much better lol
EnisTheGremlin
Kick his ass to the curb... Thays out right cheating and i for one would falcon punch him in the cock using a metal gauntlet
EnisTheGremlin
Sorry *thats*... Or whisky. Whisky helped when my ex gfs cheated on me may not help in the long run but by god does it help in the now
Brokenheartedloser
I was a heavy drinker in my past, I wouldn't want it to happen again
EnisTheGremlin
Oh shit my bad sorry i didnt realize... Uhm hmmm reading or video games always helped... So did the gym
Brokenheartedloser
I'll probably hit the gym now. I was going to wait until it dies down. But I need some release
EnisTheGremlin
Music and a run works wonders... It gets better
