He Never Cheated for 5 Years, So Why Now?

I recently figured out that my boyfriend, whom I have been with for five years, is cheating. Apparently, he just started texting the girl less than a month ago on Snapchat. Since chats clear after 24 hours, I couldn’t see much, but I saw where they exchanged pictures and a few texts of the girl complaining about him not picking up her calls, which he apologized for. I figured this out because I saw him texting on Snapchat, which is very unusual for him, and my curiosity made me check his phone. I couldn’t confront him because I was already leaving back to my place, and I didn’t give the whole thing much meaning. Fast forward a few weeks later, I went to see my boyfriend, and out of curiosity, I checked his phone with his knowledge and saw that Snapchat was nowhere to be found.

I already knew something was fishy, and as a sharp girl that I am, I went on the App Store to try downloading Snapchat and found that it was still on his phone. He probably hid it or deleted it. I opened it, and it requested Face ID or passcode. I searched for the girl’s name and couldn’t find it, then I searched again and figured out that he had edited her username and saved it with a random unusual male name. I checked and still didn’t see anything suspicious in the texts because he only mentioned to her that he would be out that day and would be very busy to text her but would reply as soon as he could. It was glaring that they were having an affair. Funny enough, he never saved her number or texted her on WhatsApp; it was all happening on Snapchat. I proceeded to check other apps and then figured out that his friend, whom I know, was the one who linked him with the girl, who happened to be his hostel mate.

In fact, they both recently traveled to the friend’s so-called hostel in his school area all because he wanted to meet up with the girl. Since I found out, I haven’t been happy. I feel betrayed. I’ve been thinking that once I leave his place, I’m going to text him and let him know that I’m aware of his newfound relationship because if I don’t, I won’t be at peace. Since their relationship is still new and in the first stage, I still have the chance to bring him to his senses. What do you guys suggest that I do? Mind you, this is someone I have been dating for five years and never once cheated on.
