Im in a similar situation including an ex coming back, and he didnt tell me - she did. He was with her for nearly a year and they didnt really end on good terms, it was nearly a year ago they broke up and they hadnt really spoken since. He told me one thursday (our 4 months) that she had messaged him on facebook on the sunday before and the talking continued on msn but thats all he told me, he begged for my forgiveness for even talking to her. The next day she told me he had gone to meet her on the monday and that he took her to lunch and to the cinema and even to ann summers. He kissed her and told her he loved her and that he wanted to be with her again, that night he came to mine and acted completely normal. I broke up with him straight away when i found out but he didnt let me go, he said he made a mistake and that talking to her confused him about the feelings he used to have for her but he now realised that it was me he loved - not her. He stopped talking to her after telling her it was a mistake and that she wasnt worth loosing me for and that he didnt love her, then blocked and deleted her from everything and said he never wants to talk to her ever again. It's been 3 weeks now and ive still been seeing him - he's brought me flowers and chocolate and took me to the cinema and all that, and he's been trying to make things better everytime since. But i never would have thought anything like this would ever have happened - we had discussed his ex before and he said i had nothing to worry about, he always said "i would never cheat on you" and he cheated on me - with his ex. Quite possibly the worst case scenario I think... I do love him and we have fun together and we laugh together and we have a good relationship - but im wondering if id ever be able to trust him again, will i ever be able to get over the betrayal? It's so hard because i don't want to let him go - he's perfect for me, we get on so well. But i can't understand why he would do this to me if he says he loves me and cares about me and says im the most important thing in his life, he promises he would never do anything like this again. He said he's felt so low because of what hes done hes thought that everone would be better of if he was dead. Can someone do something this bad and be sincere in not doing it again? He lied to me, he cheated on me, and it hurts. Any advice? An outsiders point of view?
Thanks.
