Of course. I didn’t feel loved because of the very reasons you mentioned. And I left because it had become too much to bear, and the emotjonal cheating seemed to worsen a month after we lost our child. It was really hard, and perhaps I listened to the wrong people in the end. What happened between us was a socio-economic difference. Despite both of us being middle class, he was raised by ivy league parents, in a political and policy centered area. His work is very high-profile and he’s surrounded by people like him. Hence, he would often make comments about how surprised he was to love me, I didn’t have that educational pedigree, and to have chosen me instead of the other women who had a similar educational or professional background as he did. He made sure to let me know of this flaw of mine for most of the relationship, and also post-breakup, when he would let me know the accolades of the women he was dating.

This was hurtful, and I worked on my self-esteem, to a point in which today I see it as a dark and elitist side of him, not a fault on my part. However, his new girlfriend, has gone to three Ivy League schools, is professional and powerful in politics, and Academia(professor at a famous university).  They are becoming a power couple to their friends and associates. So, I know he chose what was best for him, which still leaves me puzzled of why he can’t move on without feeling guilty about me. In other words, perhaps that is all he truly feels, guilt.
