Update.....
1

Ok, so it's been 3 weeks tomorrow since the D&D. Here's the update....

He made several attempts to hoover on Valentine's day, even leaving me a Valentine's card on my door. I have not, and will not, respond.

I went to the doctor last week to get tested. I had a bacterial and yeast infection. I had both of those things the last time I went to the doctor a few months after we started seeing each other. I kept the yeast infection because he is an alcoholic and pretty positive he has bad Candida infection in his body because of all the symptoms he has showing on his body.

Third thing, drumroll please......I went out with my gf's this past wknd. Well, I'm standing at the bar waiting on my drink and his friend (one of the only one's he has) came up to me (I didn't even realize they were there because it was so packed). He started by saying hey and asking me what I had been up to (his friend not him). I replied with answers and being cool. He asked about what happened and I just said things didn't work out. He said that xN was missing me like crazy and miserable and getting on his nerves! lmao I took the opportunity to say the following "Say you had a girlfriend. Would it be cheating if you had other girls in your home without telling your girlfriend and lying to your girlfriend about where you are during that time?" He said "Yes, that's cheating and lying." I said "Ok. You have my response to his misery. I am not dealing with his drama and have no reason to ever speak to him again as long as I live. I am not trying to be rude to you but I think it's in my best interest if I leave." I went back to my friends and told them that I was leaving and they all offered to go with me but I just wanted to go home at that point but asked them all to not speak to him but that if he did speak to them that I did NOT want to hear about it, they all agreed and understood.

I am 3 weeks into NC and plan on keeping it that way. The only reason that I wanted to ask his friend that question about cheating was that I wanted validation in my head from hearing HIS friend agreeing with me. XN always claimed he never cheated on me when those girls were over at his house. Apparently, he didn't know the definition of cheating and that cheating didn't only include physical contact/intercourse.

I am so proud of you! If I

I am so proud of you! If I remember correctly, you struggled with this the last time out, with a girlfriend reporting to you, no?

Great job on creating and implementing boundaries!

What does he mean he hasn't cheated with having multiple women at his house? While your not home? What was the point of them being there? Were they selling Avon? Were they installing cable tv? No, of course not. Bottom line, he had no business, and they had no business being there. Period.

Many members here will remember the member some time ago that came home to find her N fully "engaged" with another woman on her living room sofa. I won't get graphic, but you get the picture. And he actually tried to argue his way out of it.

They can't not lie. And your is no different. I like his futile attempt at triangulation too. Again, I am so proud of you! As you should be proud as well! :

Keep up the good work!

You are right, Sparrow. I

You are right, Sparrow. I did struggle the last time I was out with my gf's.

For the part of him cheating....we did not live together. I caught him 3 or 4 times with OW at his place. One of the times, I knew something was up when he would tell me he was going out with his "buddies" because he doesn't have any "buddies". Another time was when I made a surprise visit to his apartment complex after he told me he was at his parents house, I knew better!! Found him on his balcony with another woman (52 year old hag from hell!!! Thinks she looks like Chrissy from Three's Company!! lmao!) Another time was when he showed up at my house wasted and I had to drive him home after he arrived unanounced after one of his d/d's. He invited me up to his apt and the only reason I went up was because I saw a strange cup on his balcony table. When we got to his door, he started acting crazy saying I could come in but couldn't go past the door. ???!! So I did cause I knew something was up, well sure enough when I got in I saw her purse on the coffee table. I tried to get past him and he drug me across the kitchen floor and literally set me outside the door. Then when I got down the road, FOUR MINUTES LATER, he sent me a text telling me to not act like that and to please come back. I did NOT!! And til this day he will defend what he did and justify it saying he HAD to do it because I had gone past the door like we had agreed on. REALLY SICKO????!!! You invite me into YOUR house knowing that she (the alcoholic friend) was there but apparently your ass was so sloshed that you fucking forgot that she was there until you saw the look on my face when I saw her purse! FUCK YOU AND YOUR LITTLE TRASHY FRIEND!! EVEN YOUR OWN BROTHER SAID SHE LOOKED DIRTY!! That was back in July of last year. And of course like the dumbass that I am, I eventually went back. NO FUCKING MORE! Yes I'm pissed now, sorry. Just thinking and talking about his bs pisses me off! I'm more pissed at myself though for continuing to go back after all the shit he did to me...the cheating, the verbal abuse, the physical abuse, the emotional abuse, the lying, just ALL THE BS!

Anyways, back to my point...yes, my friends, he actually claimed he never cheated with those women!!! He would lie to me about where he was and what he was doing. He had other women in his apartment without my knowledge. The alcoholic he used to date several years ago. The 52 year old, I found out that they spent new years eve of 2010 together behind my back! He broke plans with me claiming he needed to fly back to Pittsburgh, he's from there, for new years eve. Folks, he had just got back from being there for over a week the day he claimed he was flying back. I'm not stupid!! So about 3 months later when I was going through his phone, I found a text convo between those two new years eve day and she was talking about her being at one of those sex stores and getting something to wear for him that night. When I brought it to his attention, he actually blamed me for him doing that...claiming all I did was nag him that week of new years. DAMN!! Just talking about this shit makes me not want to ever see him again even more!!!!

He is shameless........they

He is shameless........they all are.

The journey is a hard one and there are many questions asked and answers needed. It will all fall into place for you, for everyone. You are taking all the right steps and working hard.

Boundaries are amazing in so many ways and for so many reasons! Keep up the great work!

I like that you told your

I like that you told your friends that if they spoke to him that you did not want to hear about it. That is taking charge and is so impressive at 3 weeks NC. Nicely done!
