‘ UPDATE I (26F) found deleted texts between my bf (36M) and another woman. thoughts?’

I’m at the airport now. i packed what I could and called my mom in tears. I tried to hold it together as much I could but he kept asking me what was wrong. I blew up and I brought up the texts that I found and he immediately turned red in the face. He said they were just friends which didn’t help at all.

I told him to pull up the texts and I could already see the panic on his face. I grabbed the phone and started scrolling, and I already saw more than enough. Flirting, good morning texts, compliments, I miss you’s. oh she’s also married with kids.

He said there was no s**ual relations, she’s just a friend and it was never anything more, and they hadn’t even seen eachother in over 10 years. that did nothing for me. I packed a few bags and took an Uber to the airport. he followed me there and tried to talk to me at the airport.

I told him I’m not coming home with him. He stayed with me for an hour trying to convince me to go with him but I wouldn’t. He said he was sorry for everything and left. I’m here for 3 hours until my flight. thanks everyone for your advice. I’m hurting.

These are the responses from Reddit users:

LincolnHawkHauling −  *Morgan Freeman Voice:* The flushing of his face and panicked expression demonstrated they were not, in fact, just friends.

Pretend-Act-7869 −  You’re doing the right thing. Get away and have time to yourself to think about what you want out of life and out of a partner. I’m sure having someone untrustworthy is not on your list. Only accept the best. This is your life and you have one chance to live it your way. Hugs!

[Reddit User] −  you guys really know how to make a girl feel supported. thank you for all the kind words honestly I’m hurting bad right now. I’ve been sobbing this entire plane ride. and I know it’s wrong but I miss him. I feel like I dated an imposter. it feels like a dream that was just ripped from me. my heart is hurting so much and I can only hope that I can heal from this. I thought I was going to marry him one day. fml

themushycloud −  So proud of you. There would’ve been no point in remaining in that relationship and trying to salvage it

IndicationLocal1549 −  Girlie take deep breaths there is always better fish in the sea

ok-language-nerd-511 −  10 years?!?! Holy hell! Probably his longest relationship with a woman. You did a good thing by leaving. He doesn’t deserve you. Wish him 10 more years in his relationship with his phone gf.

SugaryCandy −  He cheated on you emotionally, that is enough for you to leave him, you did right, I’m proud of you and stay strong.
