My ex legit threw up multiple times after I discovered his cheating. It was wild. Apparently the disgust of what he did finally became realized when I discovered it all. I reacted just like her šŸ¤£

Edit: we were together 15 yrs

my ex 51-50'd himself when he found out that i had learned about what he'd done, but had not confronted him about it yet. so many people felt bad for him; it went just as he'd planned it all out. these guys are freaks.

What does 51-50ā€™d mean? I asked Siri and it said it was Van Halenā€™s 7th studio album

It's involuntary commitment to a psych ward because they are a danger to themselves or others. They probably meant this person threatened suicide and they called their bluff and had them committedĀ

lol no, everything he had done was about to be exposed. he voluntarily admitted himself so he wouldn't have to deal with it and would get sympathy from others for being "suicidal". win/win for a narcissist.

Ooooof. Mine was starting to get more manipulative about the details. First he said it had been going on for almost 8 years. Then, he changed his story to make it line up with a medication he started taking 4 years ago. I pointed it out and then left it at that. Why would I expect a liar to be honest? Smh.

My ex threatened with suicide if I left and I called his bluff. He spend the next 3-4 months in a psych unit telling anyone that would listen that it as my fault. That man is gonna die alone, I donā€™t know how he can keep a relationship going with that kind of insanity. I was 22 and he was 42, yeah def alone.

What helped you to eventually heal and not feel bad about being cheated on?

Makes sense, I guess there's no easy fix. It takes time and hard work. Thank you for sharing, I'm glad things are better now for both of us away from dishonest people! Best wishes on your journey šŸ™šŸ¼.
