Her Boyfriend Found Out That She Only Started Dating Him To Get Revenge

Before this 28-year-old girl started dating her current boyfriend, who is 44, she dated another guy for close to three years.
But then, she discovered he had another girlfriend for almost the entire time that they were dating.
She decided it was best to dump him, and the other girl stayed in a relationship with him despite knowing about the cheating.
“I was so enraged and felt so betrayed by him that I just could not move on and let that slide, I don’t know what I wanted, but just had this feeling of “karma needs to happen,” she explained.
“Also, mind you, his now partner was fully aware we were together, so that made me feel crazy hate towards her. Fast forward a couple [of] months later, I stalked her social media and found out about her ex-husband (her kid’s dad), and sent a friend request on IG, and after talking for a while, we started dating.”
“It’s been 5 months now, and, as I said, it started as some sort of revenge, not going to lie. The plot twist is now I genuinely have feelings for him. He is absolutely wonderful and not only made me forget about that whole mess, but he has shown me such kindness and chivalry that It almost makes me want to cry.”
A week ago, her boyfriend actually introduced her to his children. Her boyfriend’s youngest child told his mom (her boyfriend’s ex) all about her and also gave this girl her name.
Her boyfriend’s ex then turned around and told her boyfriend’s oldest child that she only began dating her boyfriend in an effort to “ruin her.”
Her boyfriend’s oldest called her boyfriend and filled him in on everything, which he obviously didn’t know about before.

Since then, her boyfriend has made it clear to her that he no longer trusts her in the least. It’s certainly hurtful to learn that your partner only began dating you in an effort to get revenge.
While her boyfriend has told her how he feels to learn such crushing news, he hasn’t dumped her over it.
“He did say he needs to think about it because he fell in love with me,” she said. “I wish I could fix this and get his trust back, I know it sounds like a movie where the main character wants revenge on someone and then finds out they’re a great person, but it’s too late because they already did what they did.”
“He truly is a great person, and I do see a future with him if we get through this. This is really hard to talk about, I know it sounds very petty, but now I just feel bad because I know I hurt him and don’t know what to do to make things better.”
What advice do you have for her, and do you think there’s anything she could do or say to make her boyfriend feel better?
