For those that remember about a week or two ago. I posted here asking about some advice, concerning my ex not coming home or talking to me about anything. Well now all has been revealed to me and well you guys were partially right.

She wasn't cheating, but she had found another person to confide in. So instead of talking to me about our issues back in August, she just kept talking to him instead, leading to our break up in October. That said, her reasons for doing it are technically sound, not justified but I get where she's coming from. We talked it out and we're going to work on it, but she needs some space first because of how toxic things got. So things are rough, but I did really want to clarify what happened for ya'll since you guys helped me so much

I agree, but I know that wasn't her intention at all. When it happened some shit was going down with all of her support systems and he was there when no one else was. Like if you're actively dating/sleeping with someone then you know you're cheating, but if they're helping you in a bad time, you're just get support.

That said it doesn't even come close to justifying it. Especially considering how I found out, but I can see how she made that mistake

That is the worst, because the person they confide in might have an ulterior motive or a strong opinion about one person or the other and they can steer them to feel a certain way

Yep, how much did said confidant say or what did they do to further the break up?

That will always be a lingering question.

Oh I know they have an ulterior motive. They were acquaintances in College and he just texted her "Hey" and it lead to this.

When I found out about it, I messaged him warning him that she was dating me when they started talking and after I found out the details I messaged him apologizing, stating how I really care about her and got worked up. No reply either time, so definitely nefarious.

Once we start working on things again as long as she stops talking to him about our stuff and talks about me in a positive light I'm sure he'll fade away on his own

If I've learned anything from his strategy (yes I've admittedly done it before) the girl almost always stays dedicated to her dude, even if he is a really awful piece of shit.

Honestly the fact that they didn't start dating immediately after we broke up shows that she still cares about me and probably wants to fix things. I think she's just still upset about our toxicity exchange since the breakup.

What is there to work on? Let it go. She's been less than truthful for months. Get her out of the house, move on.

There really is a lot for us to work on. Prior to this shit it's been a wonderful relationship for the both of us I want to work on it and I really think she does too. Otherwise she would've just made it official with him already

Is that right? I confide in people other than my BF. If I had relationship troubles I might talk about those too, if they got bad enough. But cutting off communication with TC is itself a problem. Is it better if there's no chance that the one confided in is interested in taking over?

Yeah if you're digging into stuff already, find out where the money went, that's the curious part.

Also how is that not cheating? It's the entire part of cheating except the penis in vagina part. Breaking up was the only option then and it def still is now.

She's hearing what she wants to hear, that's the attraction.

Yes, she revealed more about the money thing, it's pretty personal, but that's the last thing I'm worried about. I really don't think she's a bad person, I think the emotional stress got the best of both of us.

Making things official isn't needed. She used you, leveraged this other dude's existence (who obviously has no respect for you, and she knows has no respect for you but continued to spend time with him). She betrayed your trust in a number of key ways and didn't come clean about it for a very extended period of time. No matter what you rebuild, that stain will be there.

The emotional stress got the best of you? That's bullshit. It's great that you're trying tho take some responsibility for what you see as your actions, but here's the rub. One person doesn't "make" another person do something. You can understand motives, but don't fucking blame yourself for actions she took that really hurt you. Be selfish about things for a moment.

I'm curious how you can say with confidence that she wasn't cheating. Regardless, she betrayed your trust and lied to you for an extended period of time. It's time to move on man

It will never go back to how it was before. You're holding onto this idealized view of the relationship that you will never reach again. Let it go
