Fiona Rossa month agoI (30F) recently discovered that my boyfriend (40M) cheated on me with a friend of his. We had been together for a year, and he had known her for three years. I was away for two months attending a training course for work, and during that time, I was planning to move into his home afterward. While he never explicitly told me not to go, he expressed his frustration about the long separation. After my gut instinct led me to message the friend, she confirmed my suspicions about the affair. When I confronted him, he admitted that he had been resentful of my decision to attend the course instead of moving in with him right away. Feeling deeply betrayed by his lies, I ended the relationship. Now, a month later, we’ve started talking again. I expressed that if we were to rebuild our relationship, he needed to cut ties with the friend he cheated on me with. However, he flatly refused, stating that he wouldn’t be with me if I gave him an ultimatum and that ending a friendship wasn’t something he was willing to do. I reiterated that she’s not just a friend anymore; she’s the person he cheated on me with. In a moment of frustration, I reached out to her again, but she quickly screenshotted my message and sent it to him. Now I’m at a crossroads. Should I stick to my ultimatum or walk away completely from this relationship?1146
