Your Age: Under 20
Length of Relationship : 1 - 2 years
How long ago did the betrayal occur?: In the last few months - less than 90 days (3 months)
How did you learn about it?: After the first 8 months of the relationship I always felt like something was off with him. I talked about it with my friends all the time and even with him but he denied it. I cut him off a little bit after our first year together, with tears on my eyes I knew something was wrong and that the decision I had made was the best for me. Soon after we broke up the affair rumors started coming... About a girl, about two, about three and even with his ex. And they were all true. I just couldn’t believe it, I was completely impressed and confused, I shouldn’t have been because he had a girlfriend before and cheated on her multiple times, I was even one of those girls he cheated on her with. I believe karma is doing its job now but still can’t help but to feel hopeless and devastated. I truly believed in the fact that he would change its manners for me
