“I can’t get over the fact that for 6 months, he’s had a wife all along. He says they don’t even talk to each other anymore, and he does spend all of his free time with me so I believe him there. But this has just sent me into a spiral.”
If her boyfriend admitted his marital status from the get-go, she never would have given him a chance.
They are both in their 20s, and she has no desire to date someone who has been married before her, as she wants to be the first.
She can admit it’s childish, but she cannot get past her boyfriend having exchanged vows with a woman already.
“I’m never going to be his first true partner, and he doesn’t feel like MY partner anymore,” she said.
“…The morning after he told me, I sent him a text message saying the next time I want him to contact me is after his divorce has been finalized, and he’s sending me copies of the legal documentation.”
“Until then, I don’t want any contact whatsoever. He still hasn’t responded. On some level, I feel like I might be making an immature decision based off of my own insecurities where I feel like I’m second best. I know it’s best to end things here, but I really did like him so much. Is there any coming back from this? What should I do next?”
