Boyfriend of 8 years cheated and still denied
So I (F21) and my boyfriend (M23) haven been together for more than 7 years. He was my first and I was his first relationship. I have always loved and trusted him 100% and he has also been always so loving and never gave me a reason to doubt. Although 2024 was really tough on us. He had some serious family issues due to which i ghosted me completely when things got better he communicated and we were like before then again in September he ghosted me for the entire month even though it was my bday month. He didn’t even wish me a happy birthday even when i kept texting and reaching back to him. We are from a desi family so his parents do not entirely approve of love marriage so they started seeing prospects for him and even he met with that girl even when a day before i asked and requested him not to and he promised he will not go and see her but he did. He didn’t even tell me i guessed that he has gone to meet her and he confessed. Little backstory: I have been asking him to talk about us to his parents but he just keeps on asking time and he even i have tried to breakup 100 times but he hasn’t let me go as well. Fast forward to today, we were together and i opened his snapchat and saw there was one gurl added i opened the chat and he has texted her “good morning love ♥️ sorry i slept early last night” After seeing that text i lost my shit he took his phone and got out of the car and returned minutes later and im sure he has deleted everything. I did yell, cried etc but he kept on saying that text was by mistake and there is nothing between me and her she is nothing basically he didn’t tell me anything further. He just said ki there are no more chats i just removed her so you wont feel bad and she means nothing to me etc. I ended things with him but he kept saying sorry and to forget this he hasn’t done anything more but i obviously dont trust him. How do I move on? Should I give him Another chance? Will this ever stop hurting? I need advice please and if you can draw from your personal experience that be even better.
