Dear  Cass:

There were break ups and getting back together before the final break up. A month and a half after the final break up is when he had a girlfriend.

You wrote earlier that you are “almost certain that they began talking either before him and I ended or immediately after we ended”

Talking only, with a girl at any time isn’t cheating. If he met a girl and flirted during one of those break ups that isn’t cheating. If he started dating immediately after the final break up, this isn’t cheating either.

It is only a suspicion that you have, no evidence to support it, none whatsoever.

By the way, since you tell your mother everything, you must have told her about this. What did she say, what was her input?
