ParticipantI’m 25 and I have a 8 month old baby. about 4 months ago I ended a 4 year relationship with the father of my child. I knew him since I was 15 years old. He was always a huge cheater and liar and I constantly forgave him because i hoped he would truly change..i was young. But the icing on the cake was when i found out that he had been cheating on me and even went as far as calling himself having a whole other girlfriend for the last year of our relationship i knew i had to end it. the girl knew about me but i didn’t know about her. he had been cheating on me the whole time i was pregnant and lying to my face about it and when i confronted him about her he basically took her side over mine so i left it there. Now I’m just really having a hard time letting go of the situation, this is my first child and have to raise my baby by myself now and trust her around my kid. He always text and calls me saying how sorry he is and how just wants to make everything right and lies and says that he’s not with her anymore but i know that he is, in fact he lives with her but he’s never honest about the situation. and i guess she went through his phone and saw the things he sends to me. she called my phone and hung up, then he called me trying to prove a point to her. i don’t know why but that really hurt me i couldn’t believe he was calling me to prove to her that him and i were not messing around even after he’s consistently lied to me saying he’s not with her and never has been and he doesn’t even talk to her anymore etc. i mean i was never going to date him again but it still hurt and I’m just wondering if anyone has had to deal with this and can just tell me how to let go and how to accept to the fact that he’s with the girl he cheated on me with? it’s been hard getting through it.

GuestDear katie1991:
It became clear to me sometime along the thread, as I was reading what he said to you, that it doesn’t matter what he said, says or will say. The following seems to apply to him: how do you know when he is lying? Answer: when he talks. Sure, someplace along his talk there may be truth (even a broken clock tells the true time twice every 24 hours). It certainly would be too difficult to find out the truths amidst the lies, so I wouldn’t bother.
One way of “letting go” (the title of your thread) is to look at that broken clock and stop expecting it to tell the true time. It is the nature of a broken clock. It is your ex boyfriend’s nature to lie. I am sure he wasn’t born with that nature, but it became his habit/ his nature.
I didn’t go through this experience, having to communicate with a man who lives with the woman he cheated with as the father of my child. I will try to answer your question (“how to accept to the fact that he’s with the girl he cheated on me with?”) anyway:
Maybe, understand that she is not the reason you and him are not together. If it wasn’t her, it would have been someone else. Also: you have the fortune of not living with him; she has the misfortune of living with him. He lied and cheated before he has ever met her. If you think these thoughts I just suggested, how does it feel to you?
