Search Results: in love and cheating

I've also found myself struggling to reconcile his assurances that I am the best thing and that he's never cheated with certain behaviors that have given me cause for concern. The recent discovery of a text where he communicated with an escort has left me feeling deeply unsettled and uncertain about the foundation of trust in our relationship.

I value the honesty and transparency that are essential for a healthy and fulfilling relationship. His statement that he loves me contrasts with the conflicting signals I've encountered, and it has left me feeling conflicted and unsure about the future of our relationship.

I believe that addressing these concerns openly and honestly can help us gain clarity and determine the best path forward. I care deeply about our relationship and want to work through any challenges together, provided that we can establish mutual trust and understanding. It's important to me that we can have an open and genuine conversation about these matters.

we talked about having a kid together - with his involvement or not

A guy I've gotten to know and I often engage in a lot of banter.
We have the same sense of humor, so we often call one another ugly names and then laugh our asses off.
He calls me Quasimodo, I call him Dickhead. It's something we thoroughly enjoy.
We don't hang out outside of our mutual community, but we do often spend time together when we're there.
Recently I joked about his behaviour to which he replied "but you still love me" then waited for my reply. I pinched my fingers together a eventually said "just a tiny bit, but only if it's mutual," he replied by pinching his fingers like I did and said "just a tiny bit". Give two playful punches in my belly and walked away.
I jokingly exclaimed "Hey, my baby!" To which he replied "Doesn't it sit on your backside?" Referring to my ass. I laughed along and said it was a conjoined twin, and the two of us kept joking about my "twins" for a minute before I left.
We have interactions like this more often than not, which is why I thought he might be interested. However, I just now learned he is in a relationship with someone.
Is this kind of behaviour normal when you're in a relationship or would you consider it (emotional) cheating or whatever term you'd use?

I met a guy online YEARS ago, and when we 1st met, we were very much in love with each other, considering we were kids. We were dating for a few months online (lived 3 hours away, but he didn't have a car to visit, and I felt uncomfortable with the drive), so we never saw each other physically besides video calls/pics. I met a guy at my undergrad school and dropped him to pursue that relationship. But we have contacted each other at least once a year since the initial split to catch up. Each time I would hear from him, he would be with another girl while I was in the same relationship. He joined the military, and I was very excited to hear from him after he was finished because I still had feelings for him.

After he left boot camp, he informed me that he was stationed across the world without a choice and that we would figure out how to communicate best since there were time differences. Around this time, my dad passed, so I was in a bad mental state, but we were planning on seeing each other since he was going to move to a different location shortly while I was going to the same city for a school conference. He disclosed that he cheated on me with another girl by getting her pregnant (miscarriage), and he couldn't see me as promised due to military circumstances. I was devasted and told him never to contact me again. I spied on him via social media to see what he was up to, and he got engaged to another girl.

Recently, he kept popping up on my social media, and I decided to message him at the beginning of this month to check-in. He was thrilled I reached out. He told me that his engagement had been canceled, disclosed that he loved me, and said he'd pay for my flight to see him physically. I got weird vibes about it all since he didn't fully close the ex-fiance chapter and even had sex with her while we were discussing our future. I cut it off yesterday because he did not show that he changed. Do you think I did the right thing?
