My boyfriend has been my best friend for years and we started dating two years ago. I caught him cheating with his colleague, who knows me as his girlfriend, and I spoke to him about it. He said he would change, and I stayed calm because he has been there for me. I tried trusting him again for some time, but his side chick sent him a message to “use a condom before having sex with me because he would come back to her,” and my boyfriend told her that he had heard. I saw the message and overlooked it. I gave another man a chance while dating my boyfriend because I didn’t want to complain again (I have been complaining and there were no changes). The new guy proves trustworthy, loving, and caring because my boyfriend has changed, and I feel so alone in the relationship. My plan is to gaslight my boyfriend and not break up with him until he gets tired himself, because there is no way I can settle with a man who humiliates me by cheating with someone who knows me so well as his girlfriend, who even usually greets me well whenever I come to his side. I am so sure she isn’t the only one because his attitude just changed drastically. I am feeling so bad for dating another man with him, but he pushed me, and I just feel like I would later be left alone as he is doing. I don’t have anyone I can tell how I am feeling. I just feel empty.
