Cheating- the plot thickens

I woke up this morning with new pathways cleared in my brain, I can see the lines as clearly as on a map. I guess I am ready to face this now.

I never caught my n cheating exactly. I was spared facing the horror that our dear badabing saw.
But I know now without an ounce of doubt in my mind that he was cheating.

The lies, times that didn't match up, stories that were misconstrued have all come back to me. Things that have stayed in my mind for years, ruffled my feathers for reasons unknown to me at the time. I suspected the truth then but he was so convincing.

These lies were there from the beginning, i can see it now as clear as day. At the beginning when we were supposedly 'in love' right through to the end when I was a loving fiancé waiting at home for him with his baby.

It's all there in black and white.

I know I'm not alone in this. He told me stories of how his ex cheated on him repeatedly and disgustingly. I realise now it was him all along.

The truth doesn't hurt me the way I thought it would. It more saddens me that I gave so much to this person only to be treated so badly.

I'm lucky I don't have an STD. He never practices safe sex.

I guess the reason it doesn't hurt so bad is I've known this all along, I just ignored it - didn't want to face it.

Yes, it all starts to come together

And all the more reason to stay away from the N and their double lives.... I dated mine for 3 and a half years,,to discover he was not only dating another woman the entire time, but was acutally living there most of the time...disgusting isn't it...there is usually more than one other woman, safe sex is not a concept for them...they truly don't care about others, their 'family' 'friends' mean nothing to them...

Cheat..who me...

I never said anything to him until we got into it and I still have No solid proof other than my gut. But I think back to this one comment, "I have never cheated on u, but u say I am, I'm sure I can find someone besides we aren't married". TherE it was "we aren't married" that's how in his mind he excused what he did. UGH...why didn't I listen to that?? So I seen this girl that I suspected and Oooooohhhh my goodness.....can somone say TORE UP and the exact opposite of me, I'm tall & athletic, she was short and round like a ball I bounce..more power to ya', sad part is his friends wanted me before & since he cares about appearance that is probably why he stayed with me, too embarrased to take the bowling ball out in public, boy is she lucky..maybe she run from this screwball!

This is one piece of the

This is one piece of the puzzle that still really bothers me and I wish I knew the truth. I had major suspicions of his cheating - locking his phone and computer, being out all night, parking tickets from unfamiliar areas, sharing no info and getting defensive, and finding lots of suggestive texts and messages - BUT, I never got any solid proof. It walked like a duck and talked like a duck, so I can probably be certain that it IS a duck (or in this case, a cheater) but because we get so narc-mind-fkd I find my head swirling with maybe/maybe nots. I wish I knew for sure. He never gave a straight answer: yes, no, it's something, it's nothing, i was just seeing what's out there, i don't want that, you're being paranoid, I don't want you thinking that, none of your business, i only want you, get off me, etc. I know for a fact he was womanizing, collecting women like a harem, which that in itself tore me to shreds, but did he ever stick it in anyone? (sorry to be so crude) I'll never know and it's torture. Shocking, more non answers in the wake of question marks to deal with from him.

I felt the same way. EXACTLY

I felt the same way. EXACTLY the same way. The same things were happening etc. I think the answer will come to you when you are ready to face it. You can't force yourself. You will just know one day. And when you do know, you will be strong enough to face it. The puzzle piece will fall into place. It probably hurts too much right now to even think about. I'm sure you know not to go to him for answer- he'll only give you gobbly gook! I still don't have proof, but I just KNOW! I think I've been in denial for so long because it was such an ugly truth. Don't think about it just yet (if you can help it), it will come to you when your ready.

I suspect the same

It hurts to love someone and believe that they are telling you the truth only to find out that they are COMPLETE FRAUDS. I met my man in a restaurant and he put on the 'we are special' act that could win an Oscar. It wasn't until the end that I found out he was a predator on at least one loser dating web site. We were long distance for awhile and he would never bring me to visit his home in Canada. I wonder why? I felt so used and hurt. I had urinary and female problems all through our dating because I was foolish not to use protection. (we were special) When I finally tested for STD's, they lost my results but gave me antibiotics that got rid of whatever I had. I'll never be sure of exactly what I had but I call it a case of TOXIC NARCISSIST POISONING. It was a very humiliating experience to finally realize that I had been with a complete con. I had to learn to forgive myself through all of this. It is not our fault! We can be wiser and stronger from our experience.

Littleone, our stories are

Littleone, our stories are the same. I went through 20 years of his deceit. I knew it all along also and didnt want to admit it. I think a lot of people do that. It is a bitter pill to swallow and it really is disgusting that they are this shallow and low. We are so much better without them. Karma will come to your narc, give it time. HUGS

One of the incidences I have realised- he cheated on me with the next door neighbors while I was in hospital after just having his baby. Despicable. Moving on!
